Fall Into Flowers Featured in Vogue
The recent wedding of Lana Rush, former pro tennis player, to American football player Travis Bruffy, offered a fantastic opportunity for Kirsty Newall to craft a flower display that brought together timeless blooms with a fresh look, and Kirsty’s beautiful luxury wedding flowers earned Fall Into Flowers a feature in Vogue.
Tailoring Flowers to the Wedding
Kirsty was keen to work with Lana, always tailoring her work to each specific client need in the meticulously planned ceremony and reception. As the head of marketing at Osprey London, Lana Rush is no stranger to event planning; as a result, no detail was spared. Kirsty met Lana’s requests with enthusiasm, building a floral display that played a central role in the celebrations.
For the ceremony, Kirsty worked with her to craft a modest bridal bouquet in order to provide a breath of freshness to the historical grandeur of the setting. Lana chose to hold an intimate ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral, a venue she was able to secure thanks to her mother’s CBE and she walked down the aisle in a Nadine Merabi dress and a Stephen Jones fascinator.
Kirsty, an experienced London wedding florist, designed her display for the reception to complement the venue, The Old Hall in Ely, Cambridgeshire, a beautiful Jacobean manor house set in verdant gardens with views over lakes and Ely Cathedral. Her bespoke floral design and luxury wedding flowers dovetailed with the manicured natural surroundings alongside Lana’s dynamic and elegant dress. As the reception took place on the summer solstice, Kirsty’s seasonal flowers were bathed in light well into the evening, allowing Lana to make her special day last as long as possible.
Fall Into Flowers prides itself on its commitment to supporting English flower farmers, and Kirsty consistently uses British-grown wedding flowers in her designs. Her ethos played a central role in Lana’s decision to work with her; having turned to British designers for both her wedding dress and bridesmaid’s dresses, and inspired by her mother’s tenure as head of the British Fashion Council, using Kirsty’s UK event floristry services seemed like the natural choice.
Lana describes her dress as “timeless and classic, with just the right amount of playfulness” and Kirsty’s bespoke flower design for the reception echoed Lana’s vision; her luxury wedding flowers came together in a display that was sophisticated whilst leaning into the flowers’ natural organic forms.
Bringing a Floral Vision to Life
Attention to detail is at the heart of Fall Into Flowers’ work, and Kirsty carefully selected every single bloom throughout the reception in order to successfully bring Lana’s cohesive vision to life.
For the bridal bouquet, Kirsty was attentive in designing a palette that would complement the bride’s Halfpenny duchess satin dress, ultimately creating bespoke florals that brought an elegant flash of freshness.
In addition, she created handcrafted floral bracelets for each of Lana’s seven bridesmaids, which included tennis players Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart. The bracelets not only complemented their dresses from Rixo but also echoed Lana’s own bouquet, tying the ensemble together into a cohesive vision.
For the reception, set against the stunning backdrop of The Old Hall in Ely, Cambridgeshire, Kirsty Newall brought to life Lana’s vision of timeless tones in sculptured forms, building a beautiful floral design of white and lime-green florals that the bride described as “truly a vision straight from a dream”.
To create the bespoke florals, she used an array of classic white blossoms, including garden-style anthuriums, moss, alliums, and other seasonal wedding flowers. The palette featured shades of cream, ivory, and verdant greens, varying from chartreuse to lime.
Fall Into Flower’s commitment to supporting English flower farmers and dedication to sourcing and growing locally whenever possible was a deciding factor in Lana Rush’s decision to work with Kirsty. Lana’s mother, Caroline Rush, formerly headed the British Fashion Council, so advocating for British brands was of particular importance to her and Kirsty was able to provide event floristry services that united her appreciation for British creativity with English luxury florals.
Event flowers play an essential role in creating a perfect wedding atmosphere for every bride, and Hertfordshire wedding florist Kirsty is no stranger to the emotional effects of her works on her clients. For Lana Rush, her seasonal wedding flowers had additional sentimental significance. Lana noted how “florals have a special significance to me, as my nana is exceptionally gifted with them, so these details felt especially meaningful.” Kirsty understands how important luxury wedding flowers are to clients and is keenly aware that her work is much more than event floristry services; her bespoke floral designs are able to conjure an atmosphere and make a special day that much more meaningful.
For this wedding, Kirsty Newall’s bespoke flowers met and exceeded Lana’s expectations, and she had high praise for the display, noting how Fall Into Flowers “brought my vision to life flawlessly. I envisioned timeless tones paired with sculptural, standout forms – the result captured that balance beautifully.”
