Jen from Fairy Fleurs created elegant and delicate flower arrangements. “I chose a very full voluminous styled bouquet in white to accentuate the gorgeous Madame Dit Oui gown and to create a link with the fabulous raised spots featuring on the dress. The hotel is situated in a perfect position in the centre of Bordeaux. It has a very quirky style and my second bouquet design was based upon a geometrical base to pick up the stylised patterns throughout the property.” said Jen.
