Elmore Court Summer Wedding with Orange and Pink Cosmos and Dahlia Flowers

Helen was unapologetic about one thing from the very start: the flowers mattered. A lot. This was a late-summer wedding in every sense (not autumnal, not moody) and the colour palette leaned confidently into apricot, peach and pink, lifted with plenty of fresh green. Dahlias were the undisputed stars, over 600 stems woven through the day, alongside clouds of cosmos and armfuls of juicy pink spindleberry. 


At the altar, we worked with Elmore’s statues, threading jasmine through their hands and building bowls and meadows around their bases. The candle and flower pairing in the Gillyflower was a true joint obsession: months of comparing candle colours to napkins, stationery and dresses, then pairing them with the perfect tones of dahlias and cosmos. Helen barely put her bouquet down all day – even on the dancefloor – which felt like the most amazing seal of approval.
