SOFT, ROMANTIC, ELEGANT WEDDING FLOWERS – PEACH & GREY

September 27, 2016

Lisa and Aneel had a 2 day wedding celebration starting with a church service in the church at Mappleborough Green followed by a reception at Gorcott Hall. On day 2 they continued with a ceremony at the Hyatt Hotel followed by a reception. The guests and families enjoyed 2 amazing days and we are delighted to share some images of the first day with you.

BUTTON HOLES FOR THE GROOMSMEN

The groomsmen wore elegant rose button holes for the church.

LOOSE, ELEGANT PEACH AND GREY BRIDAL BOUQUET

The bridal bouquet was the softest mix of flowers and foliage in peach, soft pink and grey. Heavenly Juliet and Keira roses combined with the delicate scabious, hypericum berries, dusty miller and scented jasmine created a dreamy look for the bridal bouquet.

ELEGANT BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS

The girls looked so elegant with their rose and dusty miller bouquets outside Gorcott Hall.

VENUE DECORATIONS – ENTRANCE WREATH FOR FRONT DOOR

The old wooden door to Gorcott Hall was just the place to hang a bespoke flower filled heart wreath.

ROMANTIC, ELEGANT WEDDING CENTREPIECES FOR LONG TABLES

Lisa and Aneel had their hearts set on a long table and found a great way of incorporating these into the room layout. Delicate candlesticks, votives and a mix of elegant footed vases and vessels were set our along the long table filled with scented florals to create their romantic reception.

ROMANTIC, ELEGANT WEDDING CAKE FLOWERS

The softest Keira roses were the icing on the cake for the wedding and set off the ombre icing beautifully.

Thank you Lisa and Aneel for sharing your photos and for your lovely words ‘The flowers were exactly what I had envisaged – soft, romantic and elegant.’

FLOWER WALL BACKDROP, PEONIES & GOLD GLITTER – CURRADINE BARNS WEDDING

September 26, 2016

This gorgeous wedding has so many of our favourite things flower wall backdrop, peonies and lots of gold glitter so we were thrilled to take our team down to Curradine Barns for this amazing wedding for the lovely Louise and Rob.

CREATING THE FLOWER WALL BACKDROP AT CURRADINE BARNS

Louise had one particular request she wanted flowers to cover the wall behind the top table to create a backdrop for her wedding celebrations. So the team carefully created her dream by hanging bombastic and miss bombastic spray roses with soft lisianthus to soften her backdrop. Louise and the girls were getting ready at the Barn and so popped in en masse to check how things were going.

PEONY BOUQUETS FOR THE BRIDE AND BRIDESMAIDS

Glamour was the key to the day and nothing hits the spot more than masses of peonies for beautiful bouquets with luxe dresses and lots of gold and glitter.

CHURCH WEDDING CEREMONY

The wedding took place at Great Witley Church in Worcestershire and was worth the steep climb up the hill to reveal the most beautiful Baroque Church, noted to be the finest example in England. An abundance of gold created the most magical setting for tying the knot.

CURRADINE BARN WEDDING FLOWERS AND DECORATIONS

The gold signage and stationery continued the gold and glitter mood and was used everywhere, I just love this Order of the Day.

HANGING FLOWER HOOPS, GLASS FOOTED BOWL CENTREPIECES

Lush florals in glass footed bowls were laid out on the tables with hanging flower hoops suspended from the beams over many of the tables to create the natural flower filled room for our happy couple. I just love seeing the delight on Louise’s face as she enters her dream room.

TOP TABLE FLORAL GARLAND AND FLOWER WALL BACKDROP

As the evening went on the speeches and toasts were enjoyed by all with a floral garland to the top table and the stunning flower wall backdrop. Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Jeffers you planned a great party for family and friends.

GOLD WEDDING CAKE, BOUQUETS TO DECORATE

We left vases to keep the bouquets looking lush around the beautiful gold wedding cake set on the gold glitter cloth.

SPARKLERS!

Sparklers always add a bit of fun to the evening celebrations.

FLOWER CROWN FOR THE EVENING

If you fancy a change of look from day to evening then change your hairpiece or veil for a flower crown to be worn for the dancing.

SHUSTOKE FARM BARNS WEDDING FLOWERS – RUSTIC CEREMONY

September 15, 2016

Reeya Chalotra and Vishal Kapoor’s wedding at Shustoke Farm Barns in July was an elegant, stripped back look with natural flowers. We combined a mix of blooms chosen with the couple including hydrangea, wax flower, fountain grass, grey brunia, lisianthus, eucalyptus and highlights of bombastic soft blush spray roses. Just perfect for the setting at Shustoke Farm Barns in Warwickshire.

ORGANIC STYLE CEREMONY FLOWERS

The ceremony had a natural organic style with hand tied bunches of wax flower, eucalyptus and spray roses to the chairs.

CEREMONY TABLE

To decorate the large wooden ceremony table a loose garland was created with plenty or organic foliage and blooms from the day. Garlands are a great look in a barn style venue with the addition of clylinder vases and candles for some magical candlelight.

HANGING HOOPS OF FLOWERS

The large open barns also benefit from some hanging flowers and so we designed hanging hoops made of wicker and wire, covered with relaxed foliage and flowers. It is important to use large scale blooms like hydrangea in these size of designs to create a dramatic look. Smaller blooms would be lost in a hoop of this size.

GUEST BOOK TABLE

The guest book table had photos and a rustic wooden box with soft organic blooms from the day.

Reeya and Vishal had a beautiful wedding and we are looking forward to seeing them again at The Ashes for Hannah and Rishi’s wedding. Thank you for recommending us. x
