Daisy & Brian’s spellbinding wedding

Posted on January 11, 2018 by Toby Roberts

If Hogwarts isn’t for hire then there’s always a chance to turn the Natural History Museum into a magical venue for a wedding.

And this couple’s love for Harry Potter, as well as their passion for mesmerising finds birthed the inspiration to hold their wedding at one of London’s most striking locations.

Nearly Headless Nick may not have been floating amongst the guests but they revelled in the chance to get together and celebrate Daisy and Brian’s themed wedding on December 30th in magical elegance.

With the Harry Potter theme in mind, we used yellow, green and splashes of white and blue to create an atmospheric environment that resembled a scene straight out of Hogwarts. Collaborating with the wonderful Golborne Events and with 90 minutes to set up, we installed our handmade, bespoke trees as high displays, with hanging glass globes.

For our low displays we adorned birdcages with candles and self-contained flowers alongside candelabras, willow arches, tremendous plinth displays, lanterns and abundant candle light on the tables.

In addition, we used numerous bark vases and troughs for the top table.

It was an honour working with Golborne Events on this occasion. For a chance to have your dream wedding planned perfectly for you, why not give Golborne Event Planners a go?

We’ve been busy – TBR Xmas Installations

Posted on December 19, 2016 by Toby Roberts

It’s that time of the year again, when our team comes up with the best floral design ideas for each venue with collaborate with.

We’ve been very lucky to have had this amazing clientele over the years, and we are grateful that they allow us to be creative on their behalf.

Our clients mean the world to us, therefore it’s never a hard task to put their Christmas installation together each year.

It’s time for us to reveal what we’ve been up to these last couple of weeks.

Besides getting organised for next year (and the amazing plans we have prepared for you), we’ve been turning some of our clients’ venues, into their own amazing wonderland. Each and every one of them, bespoke. We want each installation to inspire and tell a story, therefore we always create based on location and interior design.

One Great George Street

To dress a place such as “One Great George Street”, you simply ought to match your design with the impeccable interiors of this striking venue. This year, we’ve chosen a 12-ft Christmas tree and dressed it with primarily white and silver ornaments. Along with crystal chandeliers and disco balls, to create a more festive theme. we’ve also attached 14 foot white glitter painted birch trees on each one of the pillars.

We liked the extravagance with the OGG library tree that contained more than 1000 ornaments.

The lobby and restaurant consisted of black, purple and silver decorations, finished with ice-cool lights.

Gielly Green Hair Salon

Dressing one of London best hair salons means to create an amazing first impression when you walk past this beautiful Marylebone establishment.

Green garlands and lots of festive decorations with gold feathers, baubles, cones and glow lights seem to make a difference.

The hourable Society of Lincolns inn

This stunning venue has been dressed with orange, bronze and brown colours. To create a more dramatic effect, we’ve added some gold elements.

Fishmongers group

This venue became brighter when we used purple, gold ornaments with some lime green elements.

Silver Sturgeon

With a amazing theme of northern lights, we really wanted to make this installation stand out, as the experience of seeing the arrangement in person, was breathtaking. We’ve used painted roses, iridescent baubles and snow green foliage.
The vases really captured the vision of this place’s design.

Posted on September 30, 2016 by Christakis Spyrou

We said we’d be there and we kept our promise; The One Great George Street Wedding showcase event was a success.

At one of London’s most prestigious locations, we brought together class, elegance and style with a variety of floral combinations or you.

The idea was simple; we wanted to give you a taste of having a grandiose wedding in this Westminster building. The venue looked spectacular, bathed in a an abundance of (primarily) white floral selections, candles and exquisite table settings. The goal was to make this showcase as realistic as possible as if a wedding were actually taking place that day.

The Great Hall – where your wedding dinner takes place – was an awe-inspiring opportunity to appreciate the grandeur one experiences as you step inside for the first time.

TBR creations were also visible in the lobby as well as staircase; elegant, pure with the occasional dramatic twist.

Along with the rest of the staff, we were there to guide you and answer any questions you might had.

Posted on June 24, 2016 by Toby Roberts

Now that summer is finally here, wedding season is well and truly underway! Obviously one of the main reasons people have weddings at this time of year is because of the improved weather (if we are lucky in the UK), and with that nice weather, comes the summer flowers.

Peonies

Stocks

Daisies

Lavender

Hydrangeas

Carnations

Sweet Peas

Dahlias

Chrysanthemum

Wedding Planner Blues

Posted on March 15, 2016 by Toby Roberts

Are you a wedding planner feeling let down by your floral company?

Wedding planning is stressful; you have a huge weight on your shoulders to make the day go as smoothly as possible for the happy couple.

So the last thing you need is for the floral company you’re using to let you down by them being unorganised and unprofessional.

We can help.

The importance of Wedding Flowers

Flowers are one of the most important features of a wedding. They liven up the ceremony and the reception as well as making the bride and her bridesmaids look even more beautiful. So making sure that the floral company delivers to everyone’s expectations is important. What you don’t want is for the company to not respond to your calls or emails, or even worse not follow the brief you have given them, meaning mistakes get made.

Choose TBR Floral Design

At TBR Floral Design we always keep a good, regular and clear line of communication with the wedding planners we are working with as well as with the venue itself.

Working closely with both means that we can always stay up-to-date with the inevitable last minute changes or problems that may arise. We also understand how important it is to stick to the brief, so the customer is happy on their big day, relieving some pressure from the wedding planner.

We have worked on a huge number of weddings, including celebrity weddings. This has given us a wealth of experience and a great reputation. This reputation brings peace of mind to the wedding planner we work with.

Floral worries can be a thing of the past when you work with TBR Floral Design.
