Blossoming Love: A Colourful Spring Wedding at Margam Orangery, South Wales

Springtime in South Wales is a magical season, where nature awakens in a riot of colours, offering the perfect backdrop for love to bloom. And what better way to celebrate this vibrant season of renewal than with a wedding at the enchanting Margam Orangery? Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Margam Country Park, this historic venue exudes timeless elegance and charm, making it the ideal setting for a celebration of love. Have I told you that this beautiful wedding was where I was married many years ago? So it really holds a special place in my heart.

For my latest wedding feature, I’m thrilled to share the story of Laura and Gary's colourful spring wedding at Margam Orangery. From the moment she stepped foot into my home studio, Laura's vision for their special day was clear—they wanted a celebration bursting with the hues of spring, reflecting the joy and vibrancy of their love.

As their dedicated wedding florist, it was an absolute delight to bring their vision to life. Drawing inspiration from the seasonal blooms that grace the Welsh countryside, we curated a palette of lively hues, from soft pastels to bold pops of colour, to create arrangements that would evoke the spirit of spring. This wedding was a dream to be a part of. These images from Aga Tomaszek are incredible, you will soon see!. Read on for some serious wedding inspiration!

At the heart of the celebration was Laura's bridal bouquet and Jack's boutonniere, which served as the perfect embodiment of their lovely seasonal Spring wedding. Featuring a whimsical mix of tulips, mini daffodils, hellebores, astrantia, ammi, roses and ranunculus in shades of blush pink and buttery cream. The gorgeous blue of the delphiniums and oxypetalum really elevated the bouquets. Laura's bouquet exuded romance and femininity, it worked beautifully with her hair style and dress.

The Crowning Jewel: A Flower Crown Fit for a Princess

No spring wedding is complete without a touch of whimsy, and for Laura and Gary's celebration, that came in the form of the cutest flower girl adorned with a blooming crown. As our littlest member of the bridal party, she stole the show with her infectious smile, spreading joy wherever she went.

Crafted with care and attention to detail, her flower crown was a miniature masterpiece, featuring delicate blossoms and verdant greenery that perfectly complemented the bridal bouquet. With each petal carefully selected and placed, the crown was a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the magic of childhood innocence.

Just look at how adorable this little one is, capturing the hearts of everyone in attendance and adding an extra touch of sweetness to the proceedings.

"As soon as I saw Anne-Marie’s work I knew she was the person I wanted to do our wedding flowers. She worked with us to help shape our ideas, and bring our spring wedding to life. The flowers were exquisite and so many people commented on how beautiful they were. She even came back the following morning to turn our flower boxes into bouquets so that we could give them out to family and friends. She really helped us to get the most out of our budget. She is incredibly skilled at what she does, and we highly recommend her.” Pop over to the link in my bio to see more of this beautiful wedding in my latest blog, or I can send you the link.
