\"Anh<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s taken me a little while to write about Anh and Tung\u2019s fabulous wedding at The Trafalgar Tavern<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>in\u00a0Greenwich.\u00a0 I blame this, in part, on having to choose just a few of the absolutely fantastic photographs taken by Ed Peers<\/a><\/strong><\/span>! \u00a0They capture something really striking about the vibe\u00a0of the whole day \u2013 everything looked so stylish and effortless but this was underpinned by an enormous feeling of warmth and joy from all of the couple\u2019s friends and families.<\/p>\n

\"Akito<\/a><\/p>\n

Anh\u2019s dress was exquisite,\u00a0white and detailed with thousands of sparkles.\u00a0 She was very clear from our first meeting that she wanted her flowers to be simply sophisticated and not in competition with the dress so we opted for a hand-tied domed bouquet of white roses.\u00a0 A couple of months before the wedding, we did a trial run with \u2018Avalanche\u2019 roses but they were just too yellowy against her dress.\u00a0 So, back to the drawing board and after lots of advice from lovely Terry at Zest Flowers<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, I ordered \u2018Polar Star\u2019 specifically for the bouquet\u2026\u2026which didn\u2019t come in to the market on the morning I went to buy everything!\u00a0 So, trying not to panic, I bought some \u2018Norma Jean\u2019 roses\u2026still too yellowy 24 hours before the wedding!\u00a0 Thank goodness I\u2019d bought extra Akito roses which had opened beautifully and were the perfect white to hold next to Anh\u2019s glorious dress!\u00a0 Disaster averted.\u00a0 Blood pressure back to normal!<\/p>\n

I’m not entirely sure what colour one would call Anh’s bridesmaids’ spectacular dresses but their posies of Akito roses and lisianthus looked perfect with them!<\/p>\n

\"Foliage<\/a><\/p>\n

The white and green theme was carried through at The Trafalgar. Both Anh and Tung wanted the staircase to be dressed with an abundance of foliage which made the entrance to the upstairs wedding venue really magical. The combination of wild ivy and soft ruscus looks really dramatic in the photos too.\"Ivy<\/a><\/p>\n

We made good use of\u00a0a sumptuous asymmetrical combination of white hydrangeas, \u2018Avalanche\u2019 roses, white lisianthus and trailing green amaranthus on the registrar\u2019s table and then on the Top Table during the meal while the round tables for the guests had Stem\u2019s cool glass urns as centrepieces crammed with hydrangeas, roses, lisianthus and foliage.<\/p>\n

In other parts of The Trafalgar we had fun with single stems of flowers displayed in \u2018random\u2019 glass vases, the table plan adorned with foliage and blooms and what Anh described as ‘an upside-down vase with flowers inside’ which I now realise could be called a bell-jar!

I really love working at The Trafalgar Tavern and am really chuffed to be on the recommended suppliers list. The stunning views out over The Thames from the floor to ceiling windows are breath-taking and the rooms themselves transport you back in time with their grandeur! It’s also right at the heart of Greenwich which is such a magnificent part of South London and allows for some pretty special photo opportunities!

Putting together the flowers for Anh and Tung was a massive pleasure for Stemgirl and Serge. Love and congratulations to you both!
