A huge congratulations to Amy and Jon on their amazing wedding. They are both so creative and came up with the most amazing ideas! I just loved working with you both! Jon designed and built the swings. The clear sides of the marquee merged the stunning gardens of Nettleden Lodge with the décor. An amazing wedding and just loved using Café au Lait dahlias and Peonies.
Congratulations to Lucy and Dave on their wedding on Saturday in a Tipee with views to die for at the top of Dudswell. A wedding I will never forget. The weather played the biggest part and we had to battle with the elements! They did however manage to exchange their vows under the arch and the sun came out briefly. A gorgeous festival wedding with lots of different elements. Sadly I have no photos of the venue finished as it was raining so hard and we were too busy holding up gazebo's and arches! There were 15 head dresses too, but sadly no photos either.
A huge congratulations to Lynsey and Darren on their wedding on Saturday at Langlebury Church and afterwards at the Cart and Horses, Sarrat. Here's some amazing photos I was sent of their day and the beforehand. What a brilliant family - love you all to bits!
The service was held at St. Barts Church, Wiggington, followed by a gorgeous reception in a Yurt at home. A wedding with a twist, half an arch and one pew end made with jasmine which smelt divine! The bridal bouquet made with home grown Lily of the Valley and Sweet peas, along with Astrantia, blush roses, and Larkspur.
Wow! What a way to start the wedding season! Forever Green goes on tour to Loseley Park, near Guildford and St. Nicholas Church, Compton. . With over a year in the planning, it was such an honour to be part of their special day. Thank you to Helen and Sarah for letting me share your dream.
We had the most gorgeous day for our spring workshop, with the sun shining, and were able to have the doors open on the studio. My 4 ladies had a lovely time making Easter table decorations.
I will be making all sorts of stunning natural arrangements, bouquets and posies for Mother's Day. I have some beautiful ceramic, metal and wooden containers, so why not call or email me to let me help you choose. nicky.pritchard1@btopenworld.com 07836 774792

A stunning wedding at Bourne End Church followed by a marquee reception at home. Here's some gorgeous photos taken by the talented Natalie at NatalieJweddings.co.uk. I loved working with you Georgie!
A fabulous wedding held at Shendish Manor in September. Thank you both for letting me be part of your special day.
A huge congratulations to Nikki and Mike who were married on Saturday at Berkhamsted Chapel and afterwards at Haresfoot in a marquee. Another lovely family to work with, and I hope you like the designs.
Wow, the most relaxed wedding I have done to date. A tepee in the garden with a rose arch for the ceremony and plenty of English garden flowers to compliment the theme. A huge thank you to the Sully family for making my job so rewarding.
I'm not sure where the past few months have gone, but it has certainly been a very busy time. I have finally finished my Master's, and am just waiting on my Practical Exam results, which hopefully will be in just as my daughter receives her A level results! Apart from studying tirelessly for three months, I have managed to squeeze in a few weddings too. If you are looking to get married next year, have a look at my face book page too, for lots more images of my work. Enjoy the rest of the summer and more news to follow very soon.
The end of my Master's is almost in sight. The theory exam is done, the assignments finished, with only my portfolio to go, and a horrible plant identification exam looming next week. My head is spinning with latin names! The calendar is filling up fast with weddings, and I am trying to find some dates to fit in a few workshops. Do let me know if you are interested.
I am also thinking of running "hen party" workshops, whereby you come as a group of friends, have some fun creating a design of your choice, with lunch in the garden and some fizz too. These can be booked at a date of your choice.
Here are a few pictures of some work I have done recently and looking forward to all my weddings this summer. Nicky
