Pippa Middleton was married at a smaller parish church, and they didn't allow photographers inside, but they left the flowers up for the next day because would be Sunday—and the DailyMail went in to grab some pix. So lovely! Had you seen this?
Another recent fantastic floral display was Kim and Kanye's 2014 wedding. It went way, way over the top -- thousands and thousands of white blooms made into a huge wall backdrop for the ceremony. Kinda starkly architectural, but sitting there seeing it and smelling the fragrance must have made the guests swoon.
And come to think of it, the flowers at Guy Ritchie's wedding (the one after he divorced Madonna) were spectacular-- draped over an arbor, lavishly blooming at his English country home.... gorgeous.
No, I hadn’t seen those (But, peonies are one of my favorite flowers. My grandmother’s husband always brought them to her for their wedding anniversary.)
One of the things I think of when I see all of these displays and the money spent on them, is how many hundreds of artisans, small businesses and their employees, make unusual profit on this kind of thing - not to mention the visibility that it gives them, for future custom.
In some respects, it may seem needlessly lavish; in others, a very good thing. I go with creating beauty, and spreading the wealth around ;-)
