White Wedding Flowers ~ English David Austin Roses & Hydrangeas At Wroxall Abbey

Summer Wedding At Wroxall Abbey

Helena and Craig had a gorgeous Summer wedding in August at Wroxall Abbey, one of our regular wedding venues. Although we do a number of weddings each year at Wroxall Abbey each one is different and we love working with our brides and grooms to find the perfect look for them. Helena and Craig were looking for mainly white wedding flowers with a touch of vintage as well as elegance.

The Wedding Bouquets

Helena’s bridal bouquet was a large creamy white mix of wonderfully scented David Austin roses, freesias with snippets of gypsophila tied with ivory satin ribbon and pearls, perfect for a Summer wedding. Her five bridesmaids had a blousy bouquet of white hydrangeas each, again tied with ivory satin ribbon and pearls. The two young flower girls held a single cream rose to walk down the aisle.

White wedding flowers in the church

Wroxall Abbey has it’s own small chapel on site, Wren’s Cathedral. The lych gate leading up to the entrance of the chapel was decorated with grey willow hearts and a touch of gypsophila. This makes a lovely photo when the bride and groom leave the church. Inside the church we decorated the large stone window sills and fonts with church candles which lit up the church with romantic candle light.

On each of the guest tables we decorated our cream birdcages with hanging lovebirds, white freesias, roses and lisianthus and added country heart tea lights on the table On the top table we created a full length flower garland which ran the entire length of the top table. This was a mix of eucalyptus and stunning white hydrangea with touches of gypsophila. Behind the garland were hurricane vases with candles inside running the length of the table.

To tie into her birdcage table centre Helena chose our birdcage table plan to show the guests to their seats. After the wedding breakfast the guests moved into the marquee at Wroxall. The staff are usually happy to move the decorations through to the marquee for the evening, to create the entrance to the marquee Helena hired some of our bay trees.

Black And White Wedding Flowers Hogarths Hotel Solihull

Wedding Flowers Hogarths Hotel

Here at Passion for Flowers we regularly work at Hogarths Hotel, Solihull this beautiful wedding venue has an outdoor area where couples can get married (weather permitting). Helen and Gary were married back in July and were lucky enough to have their wedding ceremony outside. They were after a black and white colour scheme for their wedding which we followed through with their wedding flowers and décor.

Wedding Bouquets, White Peonies

To add a hint of black to her bouquet we tied the wrap with white and a touch of black ribbon. The bridesmaids had smaller versions of the bridal bouquet.

Outdoor Wedding Ceremony On The Island At Hogarths

Hogarths has a wonderfully unique island set in the grounds of the hotel, this island creates a woodland setting for an outdoor ceremony. Helen and Gary did a lot of the details themselves for this wedding, hanging white ribbons from trees which looked lovely as they moved about in the breeze and a mix of lanterns hanging from branches. The flower girls walked over the bridge in front of the bride scattering fresh rose petals as she walked onto the island.

Wedding Reception Flowers At Hogarths

Inside at Hogarths we created a simple yet elegant look. Around the base of the crystal glass candelabra was a ring of all white wedding flowers. We used a mix of white carnations and white garden roses with black berries throughout. Each guest had a slate coaster on their place setting with a white love bird, the guests name was written on a mini luggage tag tied to the tail. The table plan, cake and menu cards kept to the black and white style with thin black ribbon detailing.

Running along the front of the top table were larger slate tiles each with a small square vase with white and black ribbon detailing. The vases were filled with stunning white scented peonies.black and white wedding flowers white peonies centre piece on slateAt Passion for Flowers we make sure each of our weddings are different to one another and reflect the bride and groom, we encourage our couples to get involved as much as possible in the details.

Country Style Wedding Flowers At Hidcote Manor

In July we worked with Sarah and David to help with their wedding flowers at Hidcote. Hidcote Manor Gardens is a wonderful National Trust property in the north Cotswolds. A small chapel on site means the ceremony and reception can all take place at the one location, the wedding marquee is set in the beautiful gardens.

The overall look was to be natural looking to suit the garden setting at Hidcote. The grounds are gorgeous and so the flowers for the day were concentrated on the bridal party bouquets and an assortment of mixed more delicate and smaller arrangements on the long tables for the wedding breakfast.

White Wedding Bouquets

We chose all white flowers for this wedding, using a mix of textures and sizes using inspiration from the gardens at Hidcote and including some of the same flowers. The bridal bouquet was a country style mix of astilbe, lisianthus, scabious, astrantia, veronica and dill. The bouquet was tied elegantly with lace which looked stunning with her dress from the Vintage Wedding Dress Company. All the bridesmaids had smaller versions of the same bouquet which set off their pewter dresses.

We decorated the small chapel at Hidcote with a mix of vintage crystal glassware, dainty jugs and bottles filled with country style white flowers, similar to the mix used in the bouquets. The jars and containers were spread out along the stone windowsills, registry table, and other tables around the chapel. Keeping to all one colour gave a fresh looks as guests entered.

In the marquee Sarah and David chose to have long guest tables to create a relaxed feel to the day. To keep the rustic / country style feel we laid each table with long hessian runners. Down the runners we placed a mix of crystal glassware of varying heights and sizes. We have scoured charity shops for most of these crystal items and have them available to hire if we do your flowers. Mirrored cake stands were used along the tables to give some height and of course tea lights were scattered along the tables.long guest tables wedding flowers rustic wedding hidcote manorhidcote manor long wedding tables country style flowers hessianburlap runnersOne of Sarah’s friends had made candles in vintage tea cups which were also part of the table setting. The table numbers were stamped onto paper flags to keep a rustic feel and cards were placed in the wicker baskets.

White Wedding Flowers | White Peony Bouquets

White Wedding Flowers

Our final bouquet from the shoot at The Rotunda, Birmingham. White peonies create a large, blousy, romantic, scented look for your bouquet. We love white peonies and they will always look stunning. These white peonies were chosen with hints of pink on a couple of the petals to give a touch of colour to the white wedding flowers.

White peonies are available from mid April until end of July, they are a special treat for Summer brides, but can be very expensive at other times of the year.

Recently we worked on a shoot at The Rotunda, Birmingham in their penthouse suite. Billingham photography sent through some stunning images of our white wedding flowers from the shoot and we had to share them with you.

We made up three white bridal bouquets for the shoot, so if you’re looking for white wedding flowers make sure you have a look at all three bouquets.

White Hydrangea Wedding Flowers At Alveston Pastures Farm

One of our beautiful white weddings from earlier this year. Lucy and Alex were married on a lovely summer’s day in June. They were after a white sophisticated look for their wedding.

White hydrangea wedding flowers

To achieve this look we chose to use only white hydrangeas throughout the whole wedding, with snippets of gyp and eucalyptus to add texture. Lucy and her bridesmaids had fluffy white hydrangea bouquets with a touch of gyp tied with ivory satin ribbon. The boys had gyp and eucalyptus button holes.

The reception was held at Alveston Pastures Farm, a lovely farm just south of Stratford Upon Avon. Lucy and Alex had chosen to name each table after a different Champagne house and the name place cards were placed in corks. Working with Lucy we chose footed vases filled with pearls as the table centres these has a gorgeous bunch of white hydrangeas to create a low domed arrangement. Bunting was strung from the wooden beams and large silver urns were placed in the fire place and on the bar.

White Wedding Flowers In Jam Jars ~ Summer Country Wedding

Nelly and Nick were married last Summer and were after a ‘just picked’ look for their wedding flowers. They were married in Wren’s Cathedral with the wedding reception at one of our local venues Wroxall Abbey. We decided to stick to all white wedding flowers keeping them simple but using a mix of textures to create the ‘just picked’ country style feel. Nelly’s bouquet was a hand tied mix of fresh scented white flowers.just picked white bridal bouquet

White wedding flowers for Summer weddings could include:

  • white delphiniums
  • white veronica
  • white lisianthus
  • gypsophilia
  • astrantia

button holesThe button holes were all mixed, the boys could help themselves to the button hole they liked best. Though not everything was white, the ladies were after purple flowers.

On the tables we continued the country / rustic feel by using groupings of jam jars on the tables. The jam jars were covered in lace, hessian, twine or ribbon and filled with beautiful white blooms. On each table Nelly had written a poem or saying which became  the table names, we loved this idea.

White Seasonal Wedding Flowers {Spring Nailcote Hall Warwickshire}

White seasonal wedding flowers for a wedding a Nailcote Hall.

A gorgeous seasonal spring bouquet for one of our April weddings this year. Together with our bride we had chosen a seasonal spring look using white wedding flowers. Here at Passion for Flowers we used a mix of seasonal wedding flowers, including white freesias, gypsophilia white tulips and snippets of lily of the vallley.seasonal spring bouquetThe wedding ceremony and reception was held at Nailcote Hall Hotel in Warwickshire. Avalanche roses were used in a garland on the ceremony table with grey green tones of eucalyptus.

At Nailcote Hall the bride enters the ceremony by walking down this staircase. Spring blooms draped down the staircase created a beautiful aroma as she walked in and gave a loose romantic floral look to her entrance. Seasonal spring wedding flowers were also used on areas of the bar, tall arrangements either side of the ceremony table and various other points within the venue.
seasonal spring wedding flowersWe loved the idea of the table numbers. Gary and Lisa chose not to number tables 1 – 9 but instead chosen numbers of significance to them as a couple. Table 5 – 5 days to honeymoon. Table 17/19 – ages when they met. Table 14 /10 – unofficial anniversary.
