Courtney & Lisa's - French Chateau Wedding

Date : 4th July 2013     Venue: Chateau la Durantie      Photographer: Erika Gerdemark

Lisa and Courtney from Australia celebrated their wedding day in style with their family and Friends at Chateau la Durantie in the Dordogne, France. The ceremony was held in the beautiful St Thomas Church in the nearby town of Excideuil  and the elegantly dressed Wedding dinner was held in a Marquee in the grounds of Chateau La Durantie. 


From the moment I received the first email from Lisa I knew that her wedding flowers were going to be special.  She had a very clear idea about the style and design she wanted ......White, Classic and Elegant .  

Lisa chose a large beautifully fragrant bundle of Peonies for her Bridal bouquet. The church was simply decorated with pomanders of pure white Hydrangea, and the tables for the wedding dinner were set in a large u-shape and were packed with elegant glassware filled with white Hydrangea, Lissianthus, Roses and Peonies. The "cake" of choice was a traditional french croque en bouche which was decorated with more Hydrangeas , Lissianthus and Roses. As an extra special touch, outside the marquee were the Bride and Grooms initials made from Hydrangea flowers.   

A big thank you to Lisa and Courtney for allowing me to be part of your special day
























Welcome To my Blog

Hello and welcome to my French Flower Style Blog 2014


Well 2013 was a really great year for French Flower Style. Last year I was so lucky to be involved with many beautiful weddings and had the pleasure of meeting some truly lovely people and 2014 is shaping up to be a a good one too!

The start of the year is always a busy one for a wedding florist. Most of the preparation for weddings during the summer happens in January and February, so I have been spending a lot of time at the computer emailing future Brides and looking at lots of their ideas. 

Pinterest is my new favourite wedding planning tool, as it makes it so easy for brides to share their dream wedding visions with me. It seems the  "Boho" look is a very popular style this year. Loose, natural and BIG bridal bouquets coupled with blousy floral crowns....beautiful!  I can't wait to get my hands on some flowers and start creating again .....roll on Summer!
