Winter Wedding Flowers at Wroxall Abbey

Posted on November 7, 2011 by karen

At Passion for Flowers we just love winter weddings. See how our beautiful bride Laura and groom Simon styled their day with Passion for Flowers at Wroxall Abbey an exclusive wedding venue in Warwickshire.

Laura’s winter bridal bouquet with thistles, calla lilies and Grand Prix roses. Simon’s button hole with a gorgeous Grand Prix rose hand picked from her bouquet for a traditional touch. Hair flowers added a the perfect finishing touch for our gorgeous bride.

The bridal bouquet picked up the colour of the cravats with deep red ribbon and roses. Don’t you just love the calla lilies adding warmth to the winter bouquet. The thistles added the Celtic touch.

The beautiful wooden screen at Wroxall Abbey Wren’s Cathedral was decorated with a floral arch and continued the warm winter colours with roses and ivy.Back in the Mansion House table centres used hurricane vases and centrepieces with thistles, pussy willow and roses – perfect for a winter wedding.

Traditional Celtic Love Spoon makes a great wedding favour for a traditional Celtic wedding.

Hope we have inspired you for your winter wedding flowers.

Passion for Flowers talks Succulents on Love My Dress

Posted on November 4, 2011 by karen

At Passion for Flowers we were thrilled to be asked by Annabel at Love My Dress to share our ideas and inspiration for brides wanting to use succulents at their weddings. Pop to her blog today to see the full post.

Don’t you just love her inspiration board below on succulents.

Succulents are great for weddings :

succulents can be bought well in advance of the wedding day
as potted plants succulents can be kept as a reminder of a special day
a great green option
succulents are a great price

We shared ideas for DIY brides wanting to make their own centrepieces. Use succulents with other flowers to create an eye catching and easy to make wedding centrepiece. Blackboard buckets are available to buy from our sister company the wedding of my dreams. This centrepiece would look gorgeous at a seaside wedding, perhaps adding some shells to the arrangement. Don’t forget to chalk on the table name or number. Great for easy DIY centrepieces.

Pretty rustic bark centrepiece looks great with a semperviren (type of succulent)! These could be hung from trees or set around your wedding reception venue.

Bark vases or lanterns are available to buy from our sister company the wedding of my dreams. Add pretty rustic bark tea light holders to finish off your rustic wedding centrepieces.

Don’t you just love this DIY favour created with love by the sister of one of our brides. The good news is this can be done in advance of your wedding day

To achieve this DIY succulent wedding favour which doubles up as a place setting :

buy mini succulents from florist or local garden centre
pot up tiny succulents in mini terracotta pots
tie with lace or ribbon
paint a lollipop stick
add guests name

Looking after your succulents :

succulents are very hardy and thrive on neglect!
succulents can be grown either inside or outside in the warmer months. They like natural light.
need little water in the winter
don’t allow to completely dry out in summer.

Let us know how you are using succulents in your wedding day.
