COMPTON VERNEY WEDDING FLOWERS – GOLD URNS & GLASS FOOTED VASES

December 15, 2016

Rachel and Nick were married at Compton Verney in September. We met when Rachel was recommended to us by the award winning venue team. Rachel came to us with an idea of colours and an inspiration image and left the rest to us. As we love creating flowers at Compton Verney and decorating this stunning venue they were in safe hands.

Chris Barber has captured their day perfectly for us to share with you.

HYDRANGEA AND ROSE BOUQUETS AT COMPTON VERNEY

A soft mix of pinks, peaches and a hint of deeper tones were used in the hydrangea and rose bouquets.

DUSKY PINK ROSE BUTTON HOLES FOR THE GROOMSMEN

Nick and the groomsmen sported dusky pink, lavender and rosemary button holes.

HAMPTON MANOR – WEDDING FAIR AUTUMN 2016

December 8, 2016

We love Hampton Manor weddings and were delighted to have free rein to decorate the sumptuous Elizabeth’s Court for the autumn wedding fair. We enjoyed meeting a number of wedding couples and showing them how they could decorate the venue to suit their wedding style and season.

Since then we have been busy meeting with couples at our studio at Home Farm in Berkswell where we have an ever expanding range of vases, vessels and large scale props to make your wedding day your own.

TOP TABLE GARLANDS

At your wedding reception all eyes are on the top table so make a statement with your florals as these will be captured in your photos of the speeches on the day. We love decorating the Butchers Block table with an abundance of mixed foliage with flowers and added textures. For this look we added roses, brunia and air plants for great texture. Elegant silver candlesticks complete the look.

White, grey and green and a perfect choice for an elegant wedding whatever the season for a timeless look. For a spring take on this we would include some white tulips and ranunulus in the design. There is always a choice of flower to add to create a great look with the season and your wedding colours in mind.

Add interest to the place settings with a pocketful of delicate astrantia nestled in the napkin. Posy vases by the place settings also add a welcome personal touch.

ELEGANT TALL BRONZE VASE CENTREPIECES – PEACH ROSES WHITE HYDRANGEAS

Metallics are still hot news and look oh so stunning at the Manor, this look is perfect for an overstated elegant look with a bit of glitz and glamour. See how the tall bronze vases goes so well with the stunning chandelier in the room. We always look to tie in your wedding decor with the room and your bespoke theme. Peach roses and cream hydrangea brought out the warmth to this look.

Team with gold and bronze lower vases running along the table and add gold rimmed glasses for an elegant look. The glass charger plates keep this fresh and contemporary.

][

Photo frames in opulent metallic finish add a finishing touch to the tablescape. If using the sprig table layout at Hampton Manor make sure you have interest running along the table, use candles and lanterns to add to the romance.

gold-bronze-vases-wedding-centrepieces-hampton-manor-wedding-florist-passion-for-flowers-10

If you are planning a room layout with round tables you could consider using a mix of different centrepieces around the room. Perhaps a stunning tall bronze vase on a central table and lanterns surrounded by gorgeous blooms on others, with an abundant mix of gold and bronze vases on another. By keeping to the same blooms the look remains cohesive and easy on the eye but becomes a talking point amongst your guests.

STONE URN CENTREPIECS BRONZE CANDLESTICKS AND BOTTLES

Rustic woodland settings work so well at Hampton Manor and can be started with the ceremony in The Birches. The stone vases and urns create great centrepieces and bring a sense of naturalness to the tables. The stone in the courtyard was our inspiration for this look. For a winter wedding we have included touches of grey brunia and eucalyptus and added bronze candelsticks and bronze bottles with bloooms along the table.

For the place settings a slate place card holder looks just right with torn edge paper and a calligraphy name card. Its the little details that take your wedding from great to amazing.

Add texture with a luxe linen grey runner to bring the table to life and glass charger plates to perfect the look.

ELEGANT TALL GLASS VASES – PEACH AND CREAM ROSES

We love elegant tall glass vases and wanted to show one of our latest designs at Hampton Manor. This elevated design could form a centrepiece to a long table design with a mix of smaller glass vases and glass candlesticks running along the table. They can also be used to add drama to the Parlour for exclusive use weddings or to create a stunning top table design.

Details for this design included our salt cellar place names with a snippet of waxfower set on a glass charger plate. The elegance continues with the glass candle sticks and glass footed vases.

If you have been inspired and are still looking for a florist and stylist for your Hampton Manor Wedding do get in touch we would love to start talking weddings. Our advice is ‘Make sure you choose a florist whose style you love’

PINK AND PEACH WEDDING FLOWERS AT HAMPTON MANOR – ROSES & PEONIES

December 6, 2016

We just love it when a bride requests peonies and they are in season. These fluffy pink peonies were just perfect for a summer wedding at Hampton Manor.

PINK AND PEACH BRIDAL BOUQUET – PEONIES AND ROSES

The bridal bouquet was a fragrant mix of peonies, David Austin roses and jasmine with astilbe.

HYDRANGEA AND PEONY BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS

The bridesmaids carried beautiful hydrangea and peony bouquets.

ROSE BUTTON HOLES AND CORSAGES

The rose button holes and corsages had wax flower, astilbe or jasmine as a finishing touch. Adding name tags to the button holes and corsages makes light work of the handing out of these beauties at the wedding.

HAMPTON MANOR WEDDING CEREMONY

Joanne and Josh were married in the ceremony room at Hampton Manor, The Birches. Posies of fragrant flowers and candles decorated the room.

ELEGANT COOMBE LODGE WEDDING FLOWERS – PEACH AND CREAM

December 6, 2016

When we received an invitation to travel down to the elegant Coombe Lodge to create wedding flowers we were happy to say yes. A new venue to us is always a great opportunity for a site visit to check out the place to see what will work with the couples chosen venue. We just loved creating flowers and styling for Noreen and Tom on this magical day with their family and friends.

BOUQUETS AT COOMBE LODGE – PEACH, BLUSH PINK AND CREAM

The bouquets were a mix of peach, blush pink and cream blooms for an elegant summer look.

OUTDOOR WEDDING CEREMONY AT COOMBE LODGE

The gardens at Coombe Lodge make a perfect setting for an outdoor ceremony. Delicate confetti petals were handed out to the guests for the confetti moment.

LARGE METALLIC URNS AND FLOWERS DOWN THE AISLE

The dramatic setting for the ceremony suited large metallic urns overflowing with lush florals and flowers set out to frame the aisle.

CENTREPIECES AT COOMBE LODGE – GOLD CANDELABRA

Coombe Lodge has a warm feel to the place and the gold candelabra used for the centrepieaces echoed the decor in the light fittings and around the room.

The image of the Noreen and her girls so beautifully captured in front of the stunning rhododendrons is just gorgeous. Mother Nature was certainly at work at Coombe Lodge. Congratulations again to Noreen and Tom x

CRYSTAL GLASS AND SILVER CENTREPIECES – SUDELEY CASTLE WEDDING

December 5, 2016

Andrea and Mitch were living out in New York when they contacted us about creating the flowers for their summer wedding at Sudeley Castle. We had initial skype exchanges and met when the bride traveled over to the UK. We loved working with Andrea to create natural just picked flowers for her wedding in an English Castle. As you can imagine this historic venue was much admired by the visitors from The States.

ORGANIC FREEFORM DUSKY PINK ROSE BOUQUETS

Whilst the bridesmaids carried bouquets with a mix of dusky pink tones the bridal bouquet had a more organic freeform design with plenty of trailing jasmine, queen anne’s lace, creamy peonies, wax flower, delicate astilbe and roses.

DUSKY PINK ROSE, ASTILBE, WAX FLOWER & JASMINE – HEAVENLY BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS

The brides dress was Rivini and suited the organic style of flowers we had selected together. The bridesmaids carried heavenly bouquets of dusky pink rose, astilbe, deep toned astrantia,wax flower and scented jasmine. Fabric from the girls dresses loosely wrapped around the stems of all the bouquets brought the look together.

ROSE & VERONICA BUTTON HOLES

Mitch looked dapper in his Paul Stuart suit teemed with a just picked veronica, rose and sedum button hole.

DUSKY PINK ROSE CORSAGES

The ladies had corsages with dusky pink roses, sedum and snippets of baby’s breath, presented on bark.

CHURCH WEDDING FLOWERS

The chapel at historic Sudely Castle is so romantic decorated with candles to the altar.

GYPSOPHILA GARLANDS & PEW ENDS FOR CHURCH

Andrea requested dreamy garlands of white flowers and simple bunches of gypsophila for the pew ends. The chapel with its history and wonderful workmanship does not suit over embellishing and this style of decor created just the candlelit style the couple hoped for.

CONFETTI

Baskets of confetti were ready and waiting as the couple left the chapel.

CRYSTAL GLASS CHARGER PLATES & GYPSOPHILA PLACE SETTINGS

Delicacy and elegance were added to the tables with elegant crystal glass charger plates and delicate place settings.

CRYSTAL GLASS DECANTERS, GOLD VASES ON SILVER TRAYS – SUDELEY CASTLE CENTREPIECES

We scoured our curated collection of crystal glass decanters, gold vases and antique silver trays to create the centrepieces.

MIX OF SILVER GOLD VASES AND CRYSTAL GLASS DECANTERS FOR TOP TABLE FLOWERS

The top table was decorated with a mix of silver and gold vases with a selection of our curated glass decanter finished with soft organic just picked flowers in keeping with rest of the wedding.

Thank you Andrea and Mitch for sharing your beautiful wedding day with us.
