WEDDING CEREMONY AT WROXALL ABBEY ~ RUSTIC WEDDING FLOWERS

At Passion for Flowers we love rustic wedding flowers, marquee weddings, and wedding ceremonies. We loved working with Vanesha and Guy to create their gorgeous wedding at Wroxall Abbey. The initial ceremony was held inside Wroxall Abbey and Vanesha wanted a rustic English just picked look to her ceremony flowers. We arranged an eclectic mix of bottles and jars to create this look.

BRIDAL BOUQUET – RUSTIC WEDDING FLOWERS

Vanesha chose a bridal bouquet with a glorious mix of blooms including David Austin garden roses, thalespi, lisianthus and veronica. I just love the fun,laughter and love that Anne has captured in their wedding day.

HANGING APOTHECARY BOTTLES FROM BRANCHES

The hanging bottles made a perfect spot for some photos around the grounds of the Abbey.

The traditional ceremony took place in the large garden marquee at Wroxall Abbey, the room was later transformed for the evening.

At the entrance to the marquee guests were welcomed with an English country garden mix of blooms in large wooden crates.

CRYSTAL GLASS VASES AND CANDLES ~ EXTRA VENUE DECORATION

For the evening celebration the guests made their way back to the marquee and were met by a soft glow of candlelight, lace table cloths and soft flowers.

The large wedding filled the marquee and the table centres were a mix of different jars and containers with gorgeous blooms from the day. The hessian square added some more colour into the marquee leaving plenty of space for the sumptuous banquet.

WEDDING DESSERT BAR

Vanesha and Guy loved the idea of a dessert bar and this one was created by Freya’s Fancies keeping to the gorgeous peach and orange colours of the day.

LANTERNS TO ILLUMINATE THE PATHWAYS

For the late evening our silver lanterns lined the paths outside the marquee and created a perfect romantic look for the end of this perfect day.

ISCOYD PARK WEDDING FLOWERS

We first met Nicola at The National Wedding Show and were really excited to create Iscoyd Park Wedding Flowers. At Passion for Flowers we love working with our couples and creating flowers at their venues and Iscoyd Park and St Mary’s Church were certainly highlights this summer.

BRIDAL BOUQUET ~ JUST PICKED DAISIES AND PEACH ROSES

Nicola’s dress was a stunning lace dress and we created a gorgeous hand picked bouquet with a mix of David Austin roses in peach, cream and soft pink combined with just picked daisies, veronica and other summer blooms.

COUNTRY CHURCH WEDDING FLOWERS

St Mary’s is the most beautiful country church in England, we fell in love with it when we visited it with Nicola and Mark earlier in the year. The setting is so wonderful at the end of the lane, within minutes of Iscoyd Park.

The church just needs country church wedding flowers to make it come to life, rustic crates at the entrance brimming with summer blooms. Inside the little church Mark and Nicola knew the church would be packed so we concentrated on the central aisle with just picked pew ends and country church wedding flowers hanging from poles. All the rest of the colour came from Nicola and her gorgeous bridesmaids and cute flower girls. We were thrilled when the Church Warden commented they were the best church flowers she had seen!

BUTTON HOLES TIED WITH TWINE

Mark wanted a mix of hand tied button holes tied with twine – just perfect for this country church wedding. Don’t you just love the invitation with Mark and Nicola on their tandem outside the church?

BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS ~ JUST PICKED DAISIES AND DAVID AUSTIN ROSES

The bridesmaids dresses were one of the first things Nicola had told me about. The buttercup yellow dresses would set the colour palette for the day. We complemented these with hand tied bouquets with just picked daisies ad David Austin roses in cream. soft pink and peach. The wedding car Nicola and Mark had found was also called ‘Buttercup’ which really brought a smile to my face.

ISCOYD PARK WEDDING FLOWERS ~ HANGING BOTTLES FROM TREES

The gardens at Iscoyd Park are simply stunning. One of the delights of creating Iscoyd Park Wedding Flowers was the opportunity to visit with Mark and Nicola, something at Passion for Flowers we always do for new venues to us. We found the perfect tree for hanging bottles and love the photos with the cricket game taking place. The garden at Iscoyd Park was brimming with roses and other blooms perfect as a backdrop to Nicola and Mark on their wedding day.

ISCOYD PARK WEDDING FLOWERS ~ RUSTIC WOODEN CRATES

The rustic wooden crates from church added colour and life into the marquee. Mark and Nicola wanted to ensure the marquee was not bland and so we all worked together to create a warm inviting look and feel in the marquee. Hessian chair backs with bunches of hand picked flowers decorated the chairs, the lovely table names added even more colour as well as the hand crafted cutlery wraps and favour jars.

ISCOYD PARK WEDDING FLOWERS ~ CRYSTAL GLASS VASES AND HESSIAN TABLE RUNNERS

We decorated the tables with a mix of crystal glass vases in very shape and size, stacks of crystal plates festooned with flowers and mirror cake stands with small crystal jugs and vases, tea lights and hessian runners. In the marquee we intensified the colours of the flowers by adding warmer yellow and more touches of peach. Pew ends were added around the marquee and on windowsills in the house.

WORLD MAP WEDDING TABLE PLAN

Nicola and Mark created a great table plan with one of our World Maps beautifully crafted with their stationery.

Thank you to Anneli for these gorgeous images. We are looking forward to creating more Iscoyd Park Wedding Flowers in the New Year.

Don’t be afraid of adding colour to your wedding flowers. Holly was after a natural rustic wedding bouquet with a relaxed country feel for her spring wedding. We used a soft colour palette of whites, grey greens, soft greys, with a burst of coral orange and blue though the ribbon choice. The mix of flowers used in her bouquet were white astilbe, white veronica, astrantia, lisianthus, grey brunia, eucalyptus and a highlight of orange ranunculus.

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Gemma

Hampton Manor wedding flowers ~ If you are getting married at Hampton Manor and looking for even more floral inspiration, search Hampton Manor in the top right of the blog so see all our weddings.

Back in March we worked on Julia and Richard’s beautiful wedding, the ceremony was held at St Nicholas Church, Henley In Arden and then onto their reception at Hampton Manor, Solihull.

Julia and Richard had chosen an orange, peach and blue colour scheme with Italian cooking details. They chose this because of their passion for cooking and were off on Honeymoon to Italy to celebrate.

Orange & Peach Bridal Bouquet

For Julia’s bridal bouquet we created a hand tied mix of peach David Austin roses, avalanche roses, orange ranunculus and snippets of grey eucalyptus tied with delicate lace ribbon. Richard’s button hole was a large peach David Austin rose and orange ranunculus to tie in with his brides flowers.

Church Flowers ~ Henley In Arden

At the church we kept the decoration simple, in the windowsills we placed hurricane vases with chunky church candles on a bed of moss, this brought romantic candle light to the ceremony. At the front of the church we positioned two of our stone urns. These urns were filled with orange and peach flowers similar to the mix used in the bridal bouquet. To give them height the stone urns were on a stack of wooden crates.

Hampton Manor Wedding Flowers ~ Orange, Peach & Blue

The reception took place in the Mawson Room at Hampton Manor, we wanted bring out the Italian theme within the room through table centres. Julia had found these blue and white ceramic pots which we used on the tables with a mix of orange and white ranunculus, hellebores, avalanche roses, amni and eucalyptus. We placed the table flowers on Italian cook books and scattered rose buds over the tables. Green glass bottles with a single stem of orange ranunculus and glass tea light holders were grouped around the main centrepiece to give a relaxed feel to the table setting.

Julia and Richard named their tables after places in Italy and their favours were various seasoning’s to complement the Italian cook book idea. For the top table we did a similar mix of oranges and peaches in this gorgeous blue and white trough. Again bottles and tea light holders were grouped around this to complete the look.

Fireplace at Hampton Manor

The Mawson Room at Hampton Manor has absolutely stunning fireplaces at either end of the room. A part of the room which can’t be ignored. To keep it simple on the fireplaces we used glass bottles with orange ranunculus, candles in hurricane vases, on a bed of eucalyptus and orange rose buds.
To finish off their wedding cake we added a posy of flowers to the top tier and glass bottles with orange ranunculus around the base.
