The Vibe Of Our Day
We wanted to have our wedding in or around London, as this is where we have lived for the past ten years and we knew all our German friends and family would love to come over for a weekend of celebrations in our city. Syon Park proved to be the perfect venue: close to Central London, but with the feeling of a countryside estate. We were able to hold both the ceremony and reception in the same location but still have two different venues: Syon House for the ceremony, and The Great Conservatory for our reception. The Great Conservatory, a windowed room full of lush greenery, gives the feeling of an outdoor summer wedding without having to worry about the weather. We loved dancing the night away here with the Wedding Smashers, a RMW recommended supplier who rocked the dancefloor until the end.
Inspiration Behind The Styling
Our loose theme was 'boho luxe botanical', based around the colours of blush, gold and grey, with lots of greenery. We hired gold cutlery, glasses and plates from Duchess & Butler, and created a lounge area with vintage furniture from Vintage Style Hire and The Prop Factory, who also provided giant light-up letters which were later moved to the dancefloor. I love flowers and knew this would make a huge difference to the overall styling of Syon Park, and gave our florist - Vic of Scarlet & Violet - a brief of elegant bohemian flowers in blush, cream and peach plus greenery. We chose Café au Lait dahlias, a variety of David Austin roses, hydrangeas, delphinium and cosmos, alongside eucalyptus and olive. I was blown away by the flowers on the day, which exceeded all my expectations.
