Autumn Wedding Colours at Hampton Manor

January 24, 2019

We love autumn wedding colours and were delighted when Kate and Al chose us to be the florist for their elegant autumn wedding. We worked on a brief of mixed metallics, bronze, copper and gold with candlelight, burgundy red, emerald, dusky pinks and touches of peach.

FREE FORM WEDDING BOUQUETS – AUTUMN WEDDING COLOURS

Kate suited a natural free form wedding bouquet with a mix of autumn colours. Deep peach Juliet roses, dark burgundy red Black Bacarra and Quicksand roses with dahlia and kangaroo paw for added texture with stocks, hypericum berries, frilly lisianthus and eucalyptus.

BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS

The bridesmaids bouquets suited their elegant emerald green Ghost dresses and by choosing the same colours for the bride and her bridesmaids bouquets the look is pulled together effortlessly.

HAMPTON IN ARDEN CHURCH WEDDING – BRONZE TALL VASES & CANDLE LIGHT

For an Autumn wedding bronze tall vases filled with a mix of flowers and foliage from the day created a beautiful backdrop for the church wedding at Hampton in Arden church. Candle light was used on the windowsills and down the aisle to give a warm look to the church.

CENTREPEICES: BRONZE FLORAL STANDS WITH FOLIAGE & FEATHERS

The long tables were dressed with bronze floral stands with foliage and feathers with hanging baubles and foliage along the length of the table intertwined around a mix of gold, copper and bronze votives. These colours work well with the venue decor including the stunning chandelier in Elizabeth’s Court.

CENTREPIECES: BRONZE TALL VASES ALONG LONG TABLES

The centrepiece bronze tall vases looked elegant on the long tables with a lush arrangement with dahlia, Juliet, Black Bacarra and Quicksand roses, deep toned fluffy hydrangea and plenty of foliage with kangaroo paw and hyericum berries for an autumn wedding.

NAKED WEDDING CAKE

Soft Quicksand and deep burgundy black bacarra roses decorated the naked wedding cake and Kate laid her bouquet to the side.

Thank you for sharing your photos to inspire our couples, we loved working with this couple of create their wedding flowers and styling at Hampton Manor and for your lovely words.

‘I just wanted to email to say thank you so much for Saturday – the flowers were incredible, better than we could have imagined! The church and Elizabeth Court looked stunning too! So much work must have gone into getting everything ready and we are very grateful for that.

One of the joys of the start of the year is that we have chance to cherish the photos of our weddings from the busy wedding season. Just take a look at the beautiful, elegant wedding of Sarah and James at Hampton Manor. This couple are what weddings are all about having the day you wish and plan for and enjoying every single moment, they are the most lovely pair inside and out.

Sarah had her heart set on an all white and green look with elegant bouquets for her and her maids.

Candles, confetti and an elegant vase with roses and eucalyptus was awaiting the confetti moment.

CEREMONY TABLE FLOWER GARLAND AND CANDLES

The simple garland and candles to the ceremony table framed the couple as they signed the register after they had tied the knot.

One elegant long table was chosen for this intimate wedding celebration with cake stands, foliage and scented white blooms with candles to add to the romance.

WEDDING CAKE FLOWERS

The look continued on the wedding cake table with loose laid flowers and foliage and a decoration of roses and foliage to the cake.

The sun shone all day long for this happy couple and the setting at Hampton Manor held so many places for their beautiful photos. Sarah was the most thoughtful bride and sent this lovely message the morning after her wedding.

I can not put into words or thank you enough for your work yesterday.

You are so incredibly talented. From our first meeting I came away with complete and utter confidence in your work. I even said to family and friends that it was like you could read my mind as you just understood my vision from the offset.

From my bouquet, to the candles, ceremony room, Elizabeth’s court and even the foliage on the welcome signs every single detail was EXACTLY how I envisioned. I was looking at the table at 11pm candles were still burning, creating the most wonderful evening ambiance inside and outside Elizabeth’s court.

I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for us and I am so so happy to have had the opportunity to work with you and have you part of our wedding journey. You are inspirational!

From the newly married Mrs Palmer!! (Sarah) xx

Shustoke Barns Wedding Florist

January 23, 2019

Fiona and Nick chose to hold the wedding ceremony at Princethorpe College followed by a reception at Shustoke Farm Barns.

BUTTON HOLES WITH TWINE

Natural twine was used on the cute button holes to add a rustic twist with spray roses, tiny succulents and a snippet of eucalyptus.

DUSKY PINK AND WHITE PEONY BOUQUETS

Peony season is always a treat for the senses and these bouquets full of scented peonies, roses with added textures looked great for a dusky pink and white colour scheme. The bouquets had the addition of feathery astilbe, succulents and spray roses to create a beautiful mixed summer bouquet.

WEDDING CEREMONY AT PRINCETHORPE

The chapel at Princethorpe was a grand setting for the wedding ceremony and suited lush, natural flowers on wooden stands to frame the couple.

SHUSTOKE BARNS WEDDING RECEPTION

The entrance at Shustoke is great for a bridal party shot with the mix of rustic bouquets and posies for the bride and her girls.

FLOWER GLOBE HANGING BALLS AT SHUSTOKE BARN

We always suggest a hanging installation at Shustoke and this flower globe was a stunner, masses of eucalyptus and blousy hydrangea give a perfect welcome for guests that can be enjoyed all day.

RUSTIC STYLE FLOWERS AT SHUSTOKE BARN

Welcoming guests a rustic crate with relaxed flowers and foliage continued the look. It is always key to keep your look going throughout the day and this was a lovely welcome after the church service. The oval top table continued this look with a beautiful mix of flowers and foliage the full length of the table.

Thank you Fiona and Nick for sharing these photos of your wedding and for our friends at We Are The Clarkes for capturing their day so beautifully xx

Winter Wedding Birtsmorton Court – Passion for Flowers Wedding Florist

January 18, 2019

Catie and Sion chose Birtsmorton Church and Court for their elegant winder wonderland wedding with white silver and green colours and highlights of burgundy red.

TRAILING BRIDAL BOUQUET – DEEP RED WINTER TONES

Catie’s elegant wedding dress suited a neat, trailing bouquet. Natural flowers we included were a mix of roses, lisianthus, petite larch cones, and sprigs of eucalyptus to add a trail to the bouquet. Her choice of bouquet was also dear to her as her mother carried an elegant trailing bouquet at her own wedding.

WINTER BUTTONHOLES

Winter button holes included a touch of larch cone for a wintry look.

CHURCH CEREMONY AT BIRTSMORTON COURT

The church entrance was decorated with a bespoke white welcome sign, silver lanterns and bunches of local mistletoe. Inside this country estate church the tall candlesticks were decorated with flowers & foliage tied with deep burgundy ribbon. Tall silver candelabra decorated with flowers from the day made a wonderful frame for the wedding ceremony. The beautiful deer were a personal touch bringing back memories for Catie and her mother.

CENTREPIECES AT BIRTSMORTON COURT – CANDELABRA & FOOTED BOWLS

The winter elegance continued at Birtsmorton Court with elegant silver candelabra and footed bowls filled with a relaxed mix of blooms and foliage from the day. The top table was framed by the tall candelabra with an elegant central arrangement and a mix of vases and votives were added.

EXTRA FLORAL DETAILS – TABLE PLAN GARLAND

The table plan mirror continued the look with a garland of foliage and flowers from the day bringing colour to the look.

We loved creating the flowers for Catie and Sion and were delighted to receive their note of thanks

‘Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all you did for our wedding on Saturday! The flowers were just incredible, we really could not have wished for any better! It made our day truly special.’
