The wedding of Chris and David - Coworth Park
Tuesday, May 31, 2016
Thank you to Andrea of Fabulous Day Wedding Planning for putting us in touch with this truly gorgeous couple. We were first introduced to Chris and David back in November 2015 when Andrea recommended us for their bespoke wedding invitations and matching on-the-day stationery. When we heard the details of their design brief we were super excited to get started!
Chris and David's bespoke design was inspired by their beautiful Dorchester Collection venue Coworth Park in Ascot. A luxurious five star country house hotel and spa only 45 minutes drive from London, set in 240 acres of Berkshire countryside. The hotel is stunning, and the setting just as beautiful with rolling meadows of wildflowers, which bloom into a sea of yellow orange and blue!
As the elegant interior decor of the venue features touches of orange, Chris and David were keen for this colour to make and appearance on their invitations and stationery. We combined the venue, the wildflowers and their colours with touches of the venue's orange creating the perfect design... Chris and David loved it!
Their tri-fold invitations included guest information and detachable RSVP card and were printed on our luxurious extra-thick textured card. Each invitation was then bound together by parcel style full ribbon wrap, threaded with cute tag with 'Chris and David 21st May 2016' printed onto it, topped with a perfect bow for guests to untie revealing all the special details inside. We were delighted with the final result, and could immediately see how well the design would work across their on-the-day stationery items.
We had been particularly excited for Chris and David's special day to arrive as Andrea had set about sourcing the very best suppliers to make their dream-wedding day a reality. Red Floral Architecture were selected to provide the fresh flowers and fine art wedding photographer Samantha Ward to capture the day. A great team of suppliers! We knew it was going to be an amazing day, and we were not wrong!
Mat and his team at Red Floral did a phenomenal job, just when we think their work can't get any better, we're like…WOAH!! :) The flowers were inspired by the very same meadow of wildflowers the invitations were inspired by, and Red Floral nailed it! The floral arrangements were exquisite, a mixture of high and low centre pieces really gave the room depth, and the combination of flowers used was so effective in recreating the imperfect placement of wildflowers in a meadow, whilst being perfectly suited to a wedding. Mat selected poppies, asp, calendula, neterra, palaver, delphinium and monkshood to name just a few and complimented them with rose gold candelabras and floating candles, which worked well alongside the orange touches in the decor of the venue.
We loved the acrylic post box, which looked like it had an actual patch of the most gorgeous wildflower meadow placed into it. Just beautiful, breathtakingly so!
As Chris and David travel a lot their day was air travel themed with the tables named after famous airline companies such as British Airways, Emirates, Virgin Atlantic etc. Plus their favours were cute little navy blue flight bags filled with miniature toiletries - how fantastic?! So it seemed fitting that they even had their very own EPIC air display, with the pilot performing aerobatics and drawing hearts in the sky! It was extravagant and utterly delightful, and of course Chris and David's guests loved it!
Andrea's planning was meticulous as always, she literally thinks of everything and is abundant in her ideas, enthusiasm and professionalism working seamlessly with her couples to make wedding days that will never be forgotten! Chris and David's day was no exception.
We're so happy to share a few sneak peek images from Samantha Ward Photography amongst our montage of pics above (the 5 images featuring small orange dots). We know you will agree she has captured their day wonderfully, and these are just a few of her images, we can't wait to see the rest!!
It is abundantly clear to us that Chris and David adore each other, their day reflected this in every single way and we were honoured to be a part of it. They are a beautiful couple inside and out and deserve the very best of happiness, we hope their lives together are abundant in love and joy always.
✿ CHRIS AND DAVID'S FEEDBACK ON THEIR INVITATIONS AND STATIONERY ✿ Thank you to Mr and Mr McNewns :) for this wonderful review of their invitations, matching stationery and our customer service...
"Cheryl and her colleagues produced the stationery for our wedding which took place on 21 May 2016 and we are so glad that we asked her to do so. Her design for the stationery perfectly matched the theme for our wedding: a relaxed garden party with meadow-like flowers. All that we needed to do was send Cheryl a picture of the venue, and her team produced a beautiful illustration which all of our guests, and the venue, absolutely loved. Cheryl was also very responsive throughout the whole process and her services represented good value for money. The final versions of all products were perfectly crafted and we could see that a lot of time and effort had gone into them. We would have no hesitation in recommending Cheryl and her team. xxx"
Thank you for choosing us Chris and David!
Big Love, Cheryl and Co x x
