Tall Vase Centrepieces – Natural Style
Button Holes
Wrist Corsages
Flower Crowns
Hampton Manor is the most elegant of settings for a wedding and we always love the opportunity to dress Elizabeth’s Court. The spring Wedding Fair gave us the chance to show our tall bronze centrepieces. Thank you to all who visited and to Jonny Barratt for his amazing images.
A tall wedding centrepiece always has a WOW factor and these bronze stands look elegant on a table in the manor. Lush foliage and large Mejer roses in softest peach, ivory with spray roses add a touch of glam to the tall bronze arrangement. Add in posy vases, candlesticks and tealights to complete the look.
As a more relaxed look select a grouping of bronze vases with simple but stunning blooms, here roses mixed with scented jasmine worked a treat. Make sure to add in glass and bronze candlesticks for that extra touch.
The wooden butchers block can be used for a small top table. Here we added luxe bronze vases, bronze candlesticks and wooden tree tea lights for a rustic twist to the bronze look. The spring ranunculus are such natural beauties and one of our favourite flowers.
We have a new hire guide available to all. The guide shows how to use our props and features a wealth of looks. Our studio in Berkswell houses our props and we are happy to show you the collection when having a consultation. We also had to sneak in the recently published Rock My Wedding book featuring some of our flowers and bouquets as well as our props. Happy days…
Our display at the show included a rustic woodland setting with mix of tree stumps, an abundance of ferns and helebores, lanterns and cylinder vases. This display would make a wonderful setting for a ceremony, down the aisle or at the base of a table.

Iscoyd Park is a pleasure to work at for an elegant wedding. We were thrilled to create flowers for this epic 2 day wedding at Iscoyd Park for Asia and Jason.
For an elegant wedding bouquet you just cant beat a lush trailing or cascading bouquet with delicious scented David Austin roses, cascading foliage,an opulent mix of textures all topped off with an elegant bridal gown and cathedral length veil.
Elegant bridesmaids bouquets coordinated with the bridal bouquet, soft shaped hand tied bouquets with succulents and an abundance of bountiful blooms and texture. The cute flower girls carried posies with cafe au lait dahlia and roses finished with gold ribbon and flower crowns for the youngest. Not to forget an elegant wrist corsage for Mother of the Bride.
This wedding at Iscoyd Park oozed style and charm. I just love the groom’s button hole and cool moment captured by the flower wall backdrop.
This was day 2 of the wedding clebrations and Asia looked a dream as she walked down the aisle. Lush posies with English country garden flowers decorated the chairs for this gorgeous couple.
Iscoyd Park is the perfect setting for an elegant,romantic wedding with bags of style. Crystal glass centrepieces dripping with flowers, gold candle sticks, glasses and charger plates complemented the look.
The top table continued an elegant look but allowed all guests to see the radiant couple. Rococo style gold candlesticks and crystal vase arrangements bedecked with flowers oozed charm and elegance.
The gardens at Iscoyd Park are a must for gorgeous informal shots, I love the swing decorated with a trail of flowers and foliage from the day. Happiness is a swing and a smile.
All weddings need a touch of whimsy and fun, this cool flower wall photo booth backdrop was enjoyed by guests all through the day. A moss backing with a design of roses, succulents and trailing amaranthus was also the romantic backdrop for the happy couple .A labour of love to create and a WOW factor for all the guests.

Elaine and Andrew tied the knot at the most elegant venue Knowsley Hall with rich autumnal colours for their wedding flowers teamed with gold.
Rachel and Nick were married at Compton Verney in September. We met when Rachel was recommended to us by the award winning venue team. Rachel came to us with an idea of colours and an inspiration image and left the rest to us. As we love creating flowers at Compton Verney and decorating this stunning venue they were in safe hands.
Chris Barber has captured their day perfectly for us to share with you.
A soft mix of pinks, peaches and a hint of deeper tones were used in the hydrangea and rose bouquets.
Nick and the groomsmen sported dusky pink, lavender and rosemary button holes.
The Adams Hall is a large columned room and suits classic shapes. Large urns overflowing with roses sat either side of the ceremony table.
Guests enjoyed this confetti moment celebrating with the newlyweds.
Glass footed vases had just been added to our collection of vases and vessels and made an elegant centrepiece for this wedding.
Just before we left the venue we added the flowers and decoration to the wedding cake in keeping with the look and feel of the day.
Thank you Rachel and Nick for your lovely comment ‘The flowers looked so beautiful and were so much more than we could have ever imagined’

We just love it when a bride requests peonies and they are in season. These fluffy pink peonies were just perfect for a summer wedding at Hampton Manor.
The bridal bouquet was a fragrant mix of peonies, David Austin roses and jasmine with astilbe.
The bridesmaids carried beautiful hydrangea and peony bouquets.
The rose button holes and corsages had wax flower, astilbe or jasmine as a finishing touch. Adding name tags to the button holes and corsages makes light work of the handing out of these beauties at the wedding.
Joanne and Josh were married in the ceremony room at Hampton Manor, The Birches. Posies of fragrant flowers and candles decorated the room.
The couple incorporated one of our world maps into their reception decorations.
Elegant tall centrepieces in tall vases decorated the tables with a mix of pink and peach wedding flowers.
The large wooden table benefits from the addition of some lovely florals in glass vases and of course the bridal bouquets.
Thank you to Joanne and Josh for sharing these beautiful images from their photographer Richard Shepherd.

When we received an invitation to travel down to the elegant Coombe Lodge to create wedding flowers we were happy to say yes. A new venue to us is always a great opportunity for a site visit to check out the place to see what will work with the couples chosen venue. We just loved creating flowers and styling for Noreen and Tom on this magical day with their family and friends.
The bouquets were a mix of peach, blush pink and cream blooms for an elegant summer look.
The gardens at Coombe Lodge make a perfect setting for an outdoor ceremony. Delicate confetti petals were handed out to the guests for the confetti moment.
The dramatic setting for the ceremony suited large metallic urns overflowing with lush florals and flowers set out to frame the aisle.
Coombe Lodge has a warm feel to the place and the gold candelabra used for the centrepieaces echoed the decor in the light fittings and around the room.
The image of the Noreen and her girls so beautifully captured in front of the stunning rhododendrons is just gorgeous. Mother Nature was certainly at work at Coombe Lodge. Congratulations again to Noreen and Tom x

Charlotte and Brad chose Gemma Williams to capture their church wedding at Shustoke Farm Barns, what a lovely set of images to savour.
Charlotte and her girls carried blush pink bouquets with a mix of blooms. Feathery astilbe is perfect for a bit of texture to a rustic bouquet.
The boys wore spring button holes to complement the boouquets.
For the ladies astilbe was added to the blush pink roses.
The country church at Bishops Tachbrook was dressed for spring with a mass of daffodils.
The blush pink confetti petals were soft and scented.
Blackboarad buckets make great centrepieces for a rustic wedding and the guests were gifted the arrangements at the end of the evening.
Pink hydragea were added to the hanging flower globes to create a romantic look to the barn.
Rustic grey jugs were added to the card and guest book tables to keep the bouquets fresh.
The evening entertainment included a fun photo booth and sparklers by the fire pit in the courtyard. Marshmallows are always a favourite for a late night treat.

September is a wonderful time of year for a wedding, a favourite of mine as I was married many years ago in September. Cripps Barn in Bibury is a gorgeous countryside venue and one we enjoy visiting to create some floral magic with our talented team. Hannah and Gordon requested beautiful natural just picked flowers to create a relaxed look to their wedding day.
Hannah chose a Claire Pettibone dress Viola which suited her beautifully. A rustic glamour inspired wedding will work wonderfully at Cripps Barn. The bridal bouquet was designed with the dress in mind. Flowers we included were selected from a mix of roses, with stocks and delphiniums.
The ceremony barn at Cripps is perfectly lit by candles for a romantic ceremony we added a touch of rustic glamour with oversized mercury bottles with roses and eucalyptus. A mix of smaller items ran along the ceremony table.
The boys wore elegant quickskand rose button holes to pick up the colour of the bridesmaids dresses.
The young flower girl was caught dancing with delight in her tulle dress, ballet shoes and flower crown.
The room decoration continued the rustic glamour look with a giant mirror for the table plan festooned with a garland of flowers and foliage and a mix of elegant table centrepieces.
The hanging globes were a joy to create with the trailing amaranthus and mix of foliage and flowers.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos of your day Hannah and Gordon and I will always remember Hannah’s fathers words of wisdom to Gordon a Happy Wifey is a Happy Lifey. x

For an elegant winter wedding there is no better place than Hampton Manor. The team at the Manor are the perfect hosts and we are thrilled to be asked by couples to decorate their weddings with flowers and styling suggestions. Amy and James were married last December in the Birches followed by drinks and canapes in the The Manor and partied with their families and guests in grand style through to the early hours.
The grey of the dusty miller added just a touch of winter whimsy to the blush bouquets.The fur capes for the girls kept them cosy and warm during the ceremony just the thing for a elegant winter wedding.
James and the boys teamed their dinner suits with elegant rose button holes.
An elegant floral arch was the backdrop to the ceremony in The Birches, the eucalyptus was also included in the chair backs adding a wintery scent to the room.
Candelabra are oh so elegant especially when decorated with a full trailing design including a lush mix of blush pink roses. We added highlights of grey brunia combined with the eucalyptus for a wintry touch to the decor. The head table featured a tall silver candelabra with an abundance of blush roses and the softest of blooms teamed with vases of scented blooms, mercury tea lights and silver candlesticks. The elegant mirror table plan had a luxe garland of blooms to decorate.
I love this idea for preserving your wedding bouquet. Amy’s bridesmaids organised a beautiful paper weight which is a treasured gift and reminder of her wedding day.

Summer weddings held at country venues are a pleasure to work on and Laura and Jason wanted a music filled wedding day with family and friends. Packington Moor set in rural Warwickshire is a wonderful setting and the food and service are always excellent.
Flowers were high up on Laura’s plans for the day and the Passion for Flowers team filled her venue with flowers bringing her dreams to life.
Romantic was the order of the day and the bridal bouquets included cream garden roses with soft bombastic roses and hydrangea.For the young girls we added snippets of baby’s breath to the bombastic roses to keep their posies more delicate.
Don’t you just love the flower girls with their sweetest flowers crowns with bombastic spay roses and snippets of baby’s breath.
Jason and the boys sported spray rose button holes with rosemary trimmed with twine, perfect with the tweed waistcoat.
Rustic crates and hydrangea plants welcomed guest to the courtyard and were then gifted at the end of the day. Music was heard all around the barn for the ceremony and then set up outside in the courtyard to entertain the guests.
Ceremony flowers for the barn adorned the staircase, balcony, and arch complemented by flowers and candles down the aisle for a soft romantic setting for our couple.
The centrepieces continued the romantic floral look for the day with elevated blousy arrangements in glass vases. The top table was filled with candlelight and blooms in a mix of glass vases and vessels finished with trailing foliage. The place settings were finished with rosemary for the boys and lisianthus for the girls another lovely way to welcome your guests to the wedding meal.

Just received a lovely thank you from Emma and Ben who were married at Shustoke Farm Barns in August. We love this shot of Emma and Ben having their confetti moment. We supplied them with real rose petal confetti. Emma’s bouquet was a mix of blush pink spray roses, larger blush pink roses, white hydrangeas with snippets of eucalyptus and lavender.
Thank you so much to you, Gemma and your team for the most beautiful flowers and styling for our wedding and the most excellent service. The flower globe is currently a very extravagant hanging basket at my parents’ house in Kenilworth.
Everything was absolutely just as we wanted and the flowers and styling were even better than I could have imagined.

Lisa and Aneel had a 2 day wedding celebration starting with a church service in the church at Mappleborough Green followed by a reception at Gorcott Hall. On day 2 they continued with a ceremony at the Hyatt Hotel followed by a reception. The guests and families enjoyed 2 amazing days and we are delighted to share some images of the first day with you.
The groomsmen wore elegant rose button holes for the church.
The bridal bouquet was the softest mix of flowers and foliage in peach, soft pink and grey. Heavenly Juliet and Keira roses combined with the delicate scabious, hypericum berries, dusty miller and scented jasmine created a dreamy look for the bridal bouquet.
The girls looked so elegant with their rose and dusty miller bouquets outside Gorcott Hall.
The old wooden door to Gorcott Hall was just the place to hang a bespoke flower filled heart wreath.
Lisa and Aneel had their hearts set on a long table and found a great way of incorporating these into the room layout. Delicate candlesticks, votives and a mix of elegant footed vases and vessels were set our along the long table filled with scented florals to create their romantic reception.
The softest Keira roses were the icing on the cake for the wedding and set off the ombre icing beautifully.
Thank you Lisa and Aneel for sharing your photos and for your lovely words ‘The flowers were exactly what I had envisaged – soft, romantic and elegant.’

Somethings happen for a reason and I was lucky enough to meet Jin and Atul at a Wedding Fair when they came to meet their String Quartet and they fell in love with our flower designs. We worked with Jin and Atul from a distance in the early planning stages as they were planning their wedding from their base in Scotland. We later visited their elegant wedding venue The Heath House together to finalise details. 
Jin and Atul had an amazing wedding day with 2 celebrations. As we were preparing for the afternoon English ceremony guests and family were already mingling for the first part of this amazing day filled with so much emotion. Atul and his family gathered for the Sehra Bandi ceremony, where the family gathers to pray and attach the Sehra, a heavily embroidered veil, to Atul’s turban. To hear the music and catch a glimpse of procession of the Baraat was so wonderful. We did not create flowers for the morning celebration but just had to share these beautiful images captured so tenderly by Jo Hastings Photography.
The wedding day continued with a classic elegant ceremony inside the wonderful The Heath House.
I just love how this bridal bouquet with its blush pink roses and dusty blue thistles for Atul’s Scottish links complement Jin’s beautiful Suzanne Neville wedding gown. She looks the epitome of elegance. 
The bridesmaids look so elegant in their full length Two Birds dresses and hand tied bouquets finished with trailing ribbon. Their dress colours picked up the soft blue tone of the thistles in the brides bouquet prefectly.
Heath House is full of the most amazing antiques and beautiful works of art, the perfect setting for a classic English wedding. The wedding ceremony flowers created a more formal and elegant part of the day with an abundance of blooms,trailing arrangements and footed bowls, all set against the beautiful array of antiques. 
The marquee was set for an elegant celebration with tall candelabra and low silver footed bowls. The central top table was decorated with a tall candelabra with a statement floral piece. We added touches of trailing amaranthus, soft lisianthus, dill and spray roses to the mixlurb about how they also have classic English wedding ceremony. The seating plan included favourite teas to link this fusion wedding.
