Many of our weddings have a theme running through the flower scheme. This can range from a particular set of colours, to a vintage style or maybe a cottage garden feel. One of the more unusual themes, last wedding season was a World War 2 wedding
The bride wore a wedding dress made from an authentic 1940’s pattern.
All the guests were in 1940’s outfits and 1940’s hairstyles. Ration book style food was served, at the reception.
For all our weddings, we take care to box up all the bouquets, buttonholes and arrangements to protect them during transportation. All the boxes are lined with brown paper. This got us thinking. With a bit of research we managed to replicate a Red Cross parcel to keep with the World War 2 theme. The bride and groom really enjoyed our little nostalgic contribution.
