Proper Weddings: Helen & Mike

We first met Helen and Mike at the Prince Albert in Camden in October last year.

We bonded immediately over a bottle of red and a mutual appreciation for B&Q in Leyton.

The wedding reception was to take place at the Prince Albert pub in early January and the idea was a wildly romantic London winter wedding with muted, faded tones of dusty pinks, creams and bronzes. 


Helen's bouquet had a 'just - picked' meadow vibe, tied with long lengths of matt pale gold and a contrasting ivory ribbon, whilst Romy, the flower girl, had lengths of dusty pink and ivory for her smaller posey.



The dinner tables were decorated with medicine bottles of varying shapes and sizes, some amber and some clear, filled with anenome, astrantia, mimosa, eucalyptus and red wax flower.  



Wonderfully, Mike's mother and aunt had dried hundreds of stems of fresh flowers cut from their (clearly enviable) gardens before the weather turned.  We were given lavender, green bell, hydrangea, statis and most excitingly physalis, which we popped into amber ale bottles to line the windowsills.
We're wondering if Amanda and Mary might like to join the OFO team permanently...


It was a perfect January wedding - warm, cosy and full of promise for the future.

Congratulations Helen and Mike - it was an absolute pleasure.
