Sophie and Ant's November wedding was an absolute masterclass in sleek, chic simplicity.
The pair had their ceremony at Islington Town Hall, and the brief for the bridal flowers was warm whites and fresh greens.
Sophie favoured a small, elegant, hand-tied bouquet of Avalanche Roses and white Anenomes. We used Phlox for texture and to balance the full blooms, along with Freesias for scent and to bring some natural movement to the dome.
For foliage, we chose the beautiful Autumn Eucalyptus, whose light, intricate leaves stand out from the deeper, darker greens of winter.
Just look at how flippin' stunning Sophie and her dress are...
Following the ceremony, the wedding party made their way down the road to St. John in Smithfield, who are revered for their own minimalistic style.
The theme of simple, fresh, whites and greens was continued in the dining room of St. John, where feasting platters were served so table decorations kept to a shiftable number!
Different size and height clear bottles were filled with blooms and placed along the centre of the tables.
A large white, industrial - style pillar in the centre of the dining room was covered with climbing ivy, asparagus fern and other season foliage to soften up the structure and bring a bit of the outside in, in a natural and organic way.
Extra bottles of flowers were placed around the venue with white votive candles to bring some more glow to the wintry evening.
Sophie's father, a publican, had requested a large arrangement on the bar - his domain! So Sophie and Ant chose and foliage-only display for some full-on, green texture highlighted with magnolia branches.
And to finish off the winter wedding flowers, seasonal garlanding with interspersed floral highlights was hung from the infamous St John pegs around the bar and dance floor.
