Petals of winter-flowering apricot form a soft pink carpet on the lawn |
A couple
of weeks ago, for the wedding of Steph and Geoff, there was a stunning blue pot
of white and pink camellia, plus lots of pots of violas that I’ve enjoyed
colour co-ordinating. Our big winter-flowering apricot (prunus mume ‘The
Geisha’) has come into full bloom, right on cue. The green room (my meeting
room) is a cosy option on a chilly day. The bride and groom can stand in the
bay window, with the garden around and behind them.
Here are some photos from
the wedding of Geoff and Steph whose happiness was contagious. Steph arrived
unmarried and rather nervous.
Very soon after, in this lovely magical place, she became a wife, beaming with delight. Geoff totally enjoyed the wedding as well. (More photos in the slideshow to the right of this post.)
At the small private wedding here the week before, a huge
pot of sasanqua camellia and late-flowering fuchsia added a special splash of
colour that complemented the bright colours in the bouquet of the very
beautiful bride. (Wish I could show you more photos but the wedding was small and private, close family only.)
To celebrate, the bride prepared a treat for us all - champagne with preserved hibiscus flowers, adding an exotic sweetness and exquisite colour.

There'll be two weddings in the Heart Garden next week. Blossoms
and polyanthus flowers will still be brightening the winter scene. It’s good
that the days are already noticeably longer and the shadow over the garden of our north-facing
house on winter days is getting smaller.

The maximum number of guests is around six, including the witnesses.
Occasionally a bride just falls in love with the Heart
Garden and I agree to having a larger wedding here. These larger weddings would be held in Spring, Summer or Autumn. My Simple
Small Service is available on weekdays between 9 and 5 all year round and the
garden is endlessly welcoming.
