Vintage Wedding Flowers At The Belfry, Midlands

Back in May we worked on a vintage birdcage inspired wedding at The Belfry, Midlands. Working with our bride we decided a mix of soft pink roses and dusky pink roses would suit her theme and initial ideas. The bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets were a mix of vintage roses with snippets of astrantia to add texture.vintage roses bridal bouquetThe Belfry Hotel is home to the Ryder Cup and has great views over the 18th hole of golf course. The Wedding breakfast was held in the Ryder Room, vintage inspired bunting was hung all around the room, as guests entered the room it instantly gave it a whimsical feel. Each guest table had an extra large birdcage with a mix of soft pink and dusky pink roses on a bed of moss and gypsophilia with pearls draped through them to add a hint of vintage glamour to the room.

Our bride had created a wonderful table plan using a set of old ladders. The table cards were pegged to the ladders with bottles and jars scattered throughout.

{Weekly Wedding Flower Inspiration} Bridal Bouquets with Lace Wraps, Brooches and Something Old

At Passion for Flowers we love making our bridal bouquets a little bit different. Creative touches are a great way to add a personal touch to your bridal bouquets.

This beautiful summer mixed bouquet of blue hydrangeas and vintage roses looked gorgeous with a diamante brooch to fasten. The brooch was chosen by our bride to tie in with her Flo and Percy hairpiece.

Pearls continue to be on trend with our Passion for Flowers brides. They wear pearl jewellery and have pearl details in their dresses. Here we have added pearl pins and a delicate pearl brooch to finish the bridal bouquet wrap.
bridal bouquet with diamante heart details

{Floral Design: Passion for Flowers}

This bride made her own stationery using a heart theme. She used these delicate hearts on her wedding invitations and menus.  At Passion for Flowers we like to work with our brides and so we incorporated one of the small heart details onto the satin ribbon on her bridal bouquet. This ensured her bridal bouquet wrap continued her wedding theme.
bridal bouquet with purple ribbon and pearls wrap{Floral Design: Passion for Flowers}

If you are not the sort of bride wanting fussy details we can still personalise your bouquet wrap. Just choose the ribbon to match the colour of the bridesmaids dresses. Here our bride had purple dresses for her spring wedding so a purple voile wrap finished with pearl pins looked perfect.bridal bouquet with blue lace wrap

{Floral Design: Passion for Flowers}

To add a highlight of the colour as well as lace details we can use coloured ribbon with a touch of lace overlay. This lace was saved from an off cut of our brides wedding dress. Great up-cycling - at Passion for Flowers we encourage our brides to use any remnants of their dress to add a personal touch to their bouquets.

This gorgeous lace bridal bouquet wrap was used for a delicate spring bouquet of peonies. The bridal lace wrap reflected the simplicity of the peony blooms.bridal bouquet with lace wrap

For a vintage bouquet add vintage lace, check your grandma’s drawers for that something old – perhaps even a piece from her wedding dress or even her veil.bridal bouquet with dusky pink laced ribbon wrap

{Floral Design: Passion for Flowers}

The vintage colour of the roses inspired this wrap of dusky pink ribbon delicately laced to add that finishing touch. You can see the lacing work reflected in our mirrored cake stand.  All our work at Passion for Flowers is carried out with style and attention to detail.bridal bouquet with wedding date on wrap

{Floral Design: Passion for Flowers Photography: Guy Collier}

To add a really personal touch to your bouquet add a hand embroidered wrap. Here our bride visited a London embroiderer for her personalised wrap. The date of her wedding is a great reminder of her wedding day and something to treasure.bridal bouquet with hessian and twine wrap

{Floral Design: Passion for Flowers}

For a rustic or outdoor ceremony you could incorprate a wrap of hessian and twine. In this bouquet the rustic bouquet wrap perfectly reflects the rustic styling of the hand tied bouquet. Hydrangeas, astrantia and vintage roses in dusky pink tones look great with the hessian.bridal bouquet with something old{Source: Rock Paper Sweet}

We love this inspiration adding something old to your bridal bouquet. This bride chose photos that are special to her. As our brides carry their bouquet with them for most of their wedding day this is a great way to keep those loved ones close to your heart on your special day.

Which bouquet wrap would you choose, we’d love to hear your comments.

To end at Passion for Flowers we just had to share this image captured by the Barbers of a summer vintage tea party with tall candelabra with blue hydrangeas, herbs and a mix of vintage roses. The tones picked up by bunting by the bride’s family and soft pashminas on the chairs.  What a great alternative to chair covers!

Hope we have inspired you with our hydrangeas
