Autumn Wedding Colours at Hampton Manor

January 24, 2019

We love autumn wedding colours and were delighted when Kate and Al chose us to be the florist for their elegant autumn wedding. We worked on a brief of mixed metallics, bronze, copper and gold with candlelight, burgundy red, emerald, dusky pinks and touches of peach.

FREE FORM WEDDING BOUQUETS – AUTUMN WEDDING COLOURS

Kate suited a natural free form wedding bouquet with a mix of autumn colours. Deep peach Juliet roses, dark burgundy red Black Bacarra and Quicksand roses with dahlia and kangaroo paw for added texture with stocks, hypericum berries, frilly lisianthus and eucalyptus.

BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS

The bridesmaids bouquets suited their elegant emerald green Ghost dresses and by choosing the same colours for the bride and her bridesmaids bouquets the look is pulled together effortlessly.

HAMPTON IN ARDEN CHURCH WEDDING – BRONZE TALL VASES & CANDLE LIGHT

For an Autumn wedding bronze tall vases filled with a mix of flowers and foliage from the day created a beautiful backdrop for the church wedding at Hampton in Arden church. Candle light was used on the windowsills and down the aisle to give a warm look to the church.

CENTREPEICES: BRONZE FLORAL STANDS WITH FOLIAGE & FEATHERS

The long tables were dressed with bronze floral stands with foliage and feathers with hanging baubles and foliage along the length of the table intertwined around a mix of gold, copper and bronze votives. These colours work well with the venue decor including the stunning chandelier in Elizabeth’s Court.

CENTREPIECES: BRONZE TALL VASES ALONG LONG TABLES

The centrepiece bronze tall vases looked elegant on the long tables with a lush arrangement with dahlia, Juliet, Black Bacarra and Quicksand roses, deep toned fluffy hydrangea and plenty of foliage with kangaroo paw and hyericum berries for an autumn wedding.

NAKED WEDDING CAKE

Soft Quicksand and deep burgundy black bacarra roses decorated the naked wedding cake and Kate laid her bouquet to the side.

Thank you for sharing your photos to inspire our couples, we loved working with this couple of create their wedding flowers and styling at Hampton Manor and for your lovely words.

‘I just wanted to email to say thank you so much for Saturday – the flowers were incredible, better than we could have imagined! The church and Elizabeth Court looked stunning too! So much work must have gone into getting everything ready and we are very grateful for that.

Shustoke Barns Wedding Florist

January 23, 2019

Fiona and Nick chose to hold the wedding ceremony at Princethorpe College followed by a reception at Shustoke Farm Barns.

BUTTON HOLES WITH TWINE

Natural twine was used on the cute button holes to add a rustic twist with spray roses, tiny succulents and a snippet of eucalyptus.

DUSKY PINK AND WHITE PEONY BOUQUETS

Peony season is always a treat for the senses and these bouquets full of scented peonies, roses with added textures looked great for a dusky pink and white colour scheme. The bouquets had the addition of feathery astilbe, succulents and spray roses to create a beautiful mixed summer bouquet.

WEDDING CEREMONY AT PRINCETHORPE

The chapel at Princethorpe was a grand setting for the wedding ceremony and suited lush, natural flowers on wooden stands to frame the couple.

SHUSTOKE BARNS WEDDING RECEPTION

The entrance at Shustoke is great for a bridal party shot with the mix of rustic bouquets and posies for the bride and her girls.

FLOWER GLOBE HANGING BALLS AT SHUSTOKE BARN

We always suggest a hanging installation at Shustoke and this flower globe was a stunner, masses of eucalyptus and blousy hydrangea give a perfect welcome for guests that can be enjoyed all day.

RUSTIC STYLE FLOWERS AT SHUSTOKE BARN

Welcoming guests a rustic crate with relaxed flowers and foliage continued the look. It is always key to keep your look going throughout the day and this was a lovely welcome after the church service. The oval top table continued this look with a beautiful mix of flowers and foliage the full length of the table.

Thank you Fiona and Nick for sharing these photos of your wedding and for our friends at We Are The Clarkes for capturing their day so beautifully xx

Autumn Wedding Centrepieces & Table Styling at Hampton Manor

December 17, 2018

Gold floral stands of foliage above bronze nrass lanterns long wedding table styling Passion for Flowers Hampton Manor wedding florists

We love decorating and styling weddings and events at Hampton Manor and enjoy keeping in touch with the look and feel of the seasons.

AUTUMN WEDDING CENTREPIECES FOR LONG TABLES – GOLD VASES & TALL GOLD STANDS

Adding gold footed urns and tall gold stands to the long tables creates an opulent look to the tables. Teaming these with flowers and foliage in warm berry tones adds a richness to the designs, small gold posy vases and candlesticks complete the look.

GLASS AND CANDLELIGHT ELEGANT WEDDING CENTREPIECES FOR LONG TABLES

Choose glass vases and a mix of glass footed vases with church candles for an elegant look to your wedding. Blush flowers give a lightness to the look and foliage could be added to entwine through the designs.

TOP TABLE – SUSPENDED DESIGN OVER GOLD FLORAL STANDS

GOLD FLORAL STANDS WITH LARGE FOLIAGE ARRANGEMENTS AND BRASS LANTERNS ALONG THE LONG TABLES

Foliage is very much a firm favourite for long tables and these elevated designs on gold stands create a wow factor look to the tables. Here we set brass lanterns with church candles to add interest to the table and echo the shape of the stands.

Organic Style Wedding Arch – Asymmetric Doorway Florals by Passion for Flowers

December 4, 2018

This gorgeous wooden door at Hampton Manor is in the main dining room of Elizabeth’s Court. I’ve been eyeing it up for ages wanting to create something gorgeous and floral around it to make even more of a statement than it already is.

At the most recent wedding fair, I created this asymmetric arch style floral display – which isn’t an arch at all! We loved out final creation and guests just loved it. Many Hampton Manor couples use this door as a photo backdrop so florals would certainly enhance this setting.

The 2 floral posts could be used anywhere, often we create something similar at an entrance to a church or between large pillars and arches within venues.

Epic Barn Wedding with Lanterns, Candlelight & Organic Natural Flowers

November 8, 2018

Barn wedding ceremony lots of candles lanterns - wedding florist Passion for Flowers

We love travelling around the country to create weddings with stylish couples and jumped at the chance to decorate an epic barn for the wedding of Tiffany and Kris in September. A site visit is essential if we have not worked at a venue before, visiting together with Tiffany and her mum gave us the chance to see how we could bring this barn to life.

Tiiffany had clear ideas and was looking for a boho style wedding celebration with white, green, gold, blue and grey colours with a Cinderella look. As the barn is quite dark she was thinking of lots of candles, twinkling lights and white flowers to add light wherever possible. Well take a look a see how this was achieved.

Final morning preparations for button holes and corsages is always a calming task to carry out before the buzz of the wedding day.

BARN CEREMONY WITH CANDLELIGHT & ORGANIC FLORAL DESIGNS FULL OF FOLIAGE

A set up like this needs access the day before for the lighting to go up and the decor to be started. Organic foliage and floral designs decorated the beams and the ceremony tables to form a romantic backdrop to the ceremony.

BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS

The bridesmaids carried bountiful bouquets of foliage and flowers.

CEREMONY TABLE AND STAGE FLOWERS

The large stage was dressed with statement decoration including a mix of large lanterns, cylinder vases, rustic wooden tables, and cascading garlands of foliage and flowers.

ELEGANT WRIST CORSAGES

Tiffany’s Mum wore her elegant wrist corsage so well which kept her hands free for her reading.

LANTERN WEDDING CENTREPIECES

Candlelight was central to this wedding and we designed a mix of centrepeices all with a bronze gold look. These elegant lanterns were accented with delicate bronze glass bud vases with a mix of flowers and foliage from the day.

GOLD CANDELABRA WEDDING CENTREPEICES

Tall gold candelabra decorated other guest tables with a generous mix of foliage and flowers.

FULL-LENGTH TOP TABLE GARLANDS

The top table is key to any wedding celebration and is the focus of much of the day. For Tiffany and Kris we created full length top table garlands full of scented eucalyptus foliage, the softest blue hydrangea, spray roses and other blooms and textures from the day. A mix of glass cylinders and bronze gold lanterns were added to light the table and foliage chair backs to complete the look.

THE WEDDING CAKE DECORATIONS – HANGING RING & LANTERNS

So every wedding cake deserves to be centrestage and so we created a hanging ring to be suspended over the wedding cake surrounded by a masse of candles. This was the most romantic setting for Tiffany and Kris to cut their cake in front of family and friends.

Thank you so much Tiffany and Kris for allowing us to be part of your amazing wedding day. The photos captured by Ed Godden are simply stunning.

Hampton Manor Wedding Florist – Ferns, Moss & Delicate Flower Crown

November 8, 2018

Jessi and Jamie asked us to create a ‘Secret Garden’ look and feel to the English part of their wedding celebrations. We loved coming up with ideas and working with this lovely couple to create their wedding look. It is so wonderful when our couples have confidence in us and give us comments like this:

“Thank you so much Karen! We trust you completely so whatever you think would make the feel of it come alive works for us! “

THE BOUQUETS

Jessi carried a romantic white peony bouquet and for her maids a bunch of scented lavender keep the look natural and so so English.

HAMPTON MANOR WEDDING CEREMONY

CYLINDER VASE LANTERNS, BRONZE FLORAL STANDS & A DOG

Well we loved creating this look for this romantic look with cylinder vases down the aisle, bronze stands with natural arrangements including English Margaret Merrill roses, ferns, trailing foliage and clematis with simple bunches of English lavender to the chairs. Most of all we loved their beloved dog Oreo who stole the show in his bespoke waistcoat.

SECRET GARDEN INSPIRED WEDDING CENTREPIECES – MOSS, BOOKS & FERNS

So when your couple love books and especially the Secret Garden that gives plenty of scope for the most beautiful set up in Hampton Manor. Moss runners and books, delicate ferns in china tea cups and the most beautiful blooms created a gorgeous look and feel to the room. Jamie is one romantic groom and there was not a dry eye in the room when he surprised his bride with an interruption to the speeches when an amateur dramatic group began renditions from Les Miserables, her favourite musical. This was performed in front of her eyes and was one incredible surprise.

CHEESE WEDDING CAKE AND CAKE TABLE FLOWERS

The cake table was decorated with English lavender bunches, a mix of moss covered books and blooms from the day. Crystal decanters with scented peonies and grasses kept the look soft and romantic.

EVENING TABLE CENTREPIECES WITH CANDLES

As the guests headed back to the room for the evening celebrations they were greeted by a change of scene with candlelit tables.

We are eternally thankful for the lovely couples who chose us for their wedding flowers and styling and to the venues we dress and of course the photographers who capture their days so beautifully.

Thank you Jamie and Jessi and all our good wishes for the next stage of this romantic story.

Longbourn Barn Kineton Wedding – Epic Summer Wedding & Lush Flowers

October 16, 2018

So we always love an epic wedding and thought you would love to see more of this amazing wedding at Longbourn Barn Kineton, one of our favourite’s of the year.

Longbourn Barn Kineton Wedding

We were thankful when Meg and her Mum came to meet us to ask us to create the florals for this gorgeous flower filled wedding. We visited Longbourn Barn together and fell in love with the setting. It offers a space where couples can stamp their mark on it for their wedding day set in the most amazing Warwickshire countryside.

Wedding Ceremony

Meg and Tom started their wedding day with a church ceremony with their beautiful daughter taking centre stage. The couple remained radiant and happy throughout their day and all the joy in their lives came together for all to see. We created a bountiful and full bouquet for Meg to carry.

Longbourn Barn Kineton Organ Room

Longbourn Barn has plenty of unexpected features, here the Organ Room is perfect for displaying the bouquets, in addition to her bridal bouquet we created bouquets for Meg’s 6 stylish bridesmaids. Pillar candles added to the romance perfect for this setting.

Wedding Gin Barn, Longbourn Barn

At our first site meeting we heard that Meg and her Mum were looking to create their own bar and had found an old pink van which they were going to transform into an amazing gin bar. Little did we know at the time how epic this transformation was and that it would be featured on George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces. We were delighted to add some finishing touches to the look with the personalised sign from our sister site The Wedding of my Dreams.

Longbourne Barn Kineton, Wedding Reception

In the run up to the wedding Meg, Tom and the assembled team of helpers worked tirelessly to ensure nothing was left undone. We just loved creating the florals for inside the barn including the table designs. The large barn could carry off large statement florals set on high rose gold risers. Elegant candle light was added to the tables and the round tables were set with lush florals around an elegant rose gold hurricane vase. Meg had collected so many gorgeous pieces and the geometric marble chargers were a great look for the tables.

This epic wedding was full of surprises and we knew of one little secret that the bride and her mum had kept from everyone. Meg had not one but two stunning wedding gowns and totally rocked the world when she surprised everyone when she walked down from the hay loft in her second amazing dress. This brought tears of joy to everyone’s eye and the party started in earnest.

Acrylic Wedding Seating Plan

The acrylic wedding seating plan was set as a welcome for guests once inside the barn and enabled everyone to find their seat with ease and style.

Meg and Tom

It was a pleasure to create the flowers for your wedding at Longbourn Barn, you rocked your day and are the most beautiful couple.

Love Karen xx

Blackwell Grange Summer Wedding – Passion for Flowers

October 1, 2018

Sacha and Stu planned a relaxing day for family and friends at Blackwell Grange. The bride wore an elegant gown with her maids in charcoal grey and vintage rose dresses. Stu looked splendid in this kilt and we introduced thistles into the bouquets and button holes as a nod to the tartan.

BLOOMS

The bouquets were loose foliage inspired bouquets with thistle, lisianthus,roses, veronica and wax flower for different textures and tones.

BUTTON HOLES

The button holes were a relaxed mix of blooms from the day with twine to finish.

ENTRANCE GATE FLOWERS – BLACKWELL GRANGE

Touches of eucalyptus were tied to the entrance gates to continue the relaxed, laid back look.

CEREMONY DECORATIONS – THATCH BARN, BLACKWELL GRANGE

The Thatch Barn at Blackwell Grange is a great place to tie the knot with its stone walls and wooden beams. The Barn suits very natural flowers and foliage and we designed relaxed arrangements in tall bronze vases to frame the ceremony and foliage garlands to drape the table.

EXTRA LARGE MILK CHURN ENTRANCE FLOWERS

Keeping to a very natural relaxed look large arrangements greeted guests at the entrance set in rustic milk churns.

CENTREPIECES – BLACKWELL GRANGE

The tables were dressed with a mix of centrepieces with natural foliage and flowers in bronze gold containers.

We loved creating the flowers for Sacha and Stu and being part of their wedding day.

The top table is where all eyes are focused for a large part of the wedding breakfast to a long garland of lush foliage with flowers was a great choice. The backdrop was created especially for the couple with a romantic ring of flowers and Dani’s favourite sparkling lights and foliage added in.

FLOWERS FOR THE WEDDING CAKE TABLE

Ask your florist for vases for the bouquets so they can be added to the cake table display. I love the axe for cutting the rustic cake.

Danielle and Lorance, thank you for your lovely words.

‘We just wanted to a massive thank you for everything you did for us! The wedding looked spectacular and almost all of that was down to you! We loved absolutely everything it was perfect!

BARTON COURT WEDDING VENUE – FLORISTS

May 29, 2018

It was lovely to be invited to celebrate the opening of Barton Court a beautiful wedding venue. As the owner Linda told me “This glorious house will appeal to all those couples for whom the bland hotel wedding is simply not an option. For those who insist on authenticity, intimacy, creativity and charm – and on a truly magical setting for their most important day, Barton Court will be ideal.”

“Barton Court is all about love. Henry Lambert created the estate in 1780 as a gift for his soon-to-be wife. We fell in love with it at first sight. It is a perfect little gem of a country house set in 6 acres of private grounds surrounded by some of the finest views in the country.”

Barton Court is a small country house estate, made up of the main house and several interesting outbuildings set in 6 acres of gardens. The property sits on the edge of the village of Colwall near Malvern and Ledbury and has uninterrupted views of the glorious countryside that surrounds it.

The main house, the Clock Tower and the ancillary buildings can be rented for short breaks, weddings and events, altogether, in various combinations or separately.

We have not yet worked at Barton Court as it is new to the wedding world, but we are happy to recommend this venue to our couples and would be delighted to work with the team at Barton House on weddings. These photos below were taken from their open day to show how the venue can be dressed, flowers by talented florists whose work we enjoyed. Sabine Darrall is a great favourite of ours and we loved how she had decorated the entrance hall in such an organic and natural style. The ceremony barn was beautifully dressed by Helen Walker of BrideandBloom with an arch and meadow style planting to line the aisle.

BARTON COURT WEDDING VENUE

Barton Court is a unique building with plenty of character.

WEDDING CEREMONY AT BARTON COURT

WEDDING BREAKFAST AT BARTON COURT

There is plenty of space for a delightful wedding breakfast. Here it was set out with a long table and a mix of candles and pretty blooms in footed vases.

WEDDING PARTY AT BARTON COURT

The marquee set up by the team at goodintents is the perfect place for a party. Marquees always look lovely with hanging arrangements to continue the tone and look of the wedding. Sabine created some natural arrangements with plenty of style.

Thank you Linda and James for inviting me over. Wishing you all the best with your venue. For further information on Barton Court visit.

Natural Flowers At The Ashes Wedding Venue – Florist Passion for Flowers

May 10, 2018

Hannah and Rishi were married at The Ashes, the most beautiful countryside venue, a place where you feel relaxed as you arrive and revived when you leave. We were delighted to be asked to work with Hannah and Rishi on their wedding as we had the pleasure of creating flowers for Rishi’s brother’s wedding at Shustoke Barns previously.

BRIDAL BOUQUET

The bridal bouquet was a mix of hydrangea and roses in beautiful tones. The whole look was chosen to remind Hannah of the family garden.

BUTTON HOLES

The boys sported just picked rustic buttonholes and enjoying posing under the photo backdrop with beautiful watercolour tones.

THE ASHES WEDDING CEREMONY

The barn at the Ashes is a warm and inviting ceremony space and we love adding a feature arch for the ceremony. Lashing of eucalyptus foliage, ivy and hanging amaranthus set the scenes with colours being added to tie in with Hannah and Rishi’s colours from the day.

FLORAL ARCH OVER DOORWAY

The floral arch proved popular as a photo backdrop for some fun photos on the day.

THE ASHES WEDDING CENTREPIECES

Hannah and Rishi had collected a lovely selection of antique vases, copper coffee pots and smaller bowls we incorporated into the table decoration with the addition of some crystal glass. Delicate stems of ivy and soft scented flowers were added bringing colour to the tables. I loved the old photos that Hannah had displayed in photo frames for each table.

COUPLE PORTRAIT PHOTOS AT THE ASHES

The couple found some tranquil spots for their portrait shots beautifully captured by Joanne Jacobs.

Thank you, Hannah and Rishi for sharing and for your lovely words. As always weddings and in particular our couples are the reason we love what we do.

“Looking through them reminds me of how beautiful you made our special day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Birch Arch Scroll Wedding Backdrop: Hampton Manor

April 26, 2018

Rustic Birch Arch Scroll Backdrop Hampton Manor Wedding Florist Passion for Flowers

We usually use our birch arch covered in flowers and foliage to create a rustic frame for a wedding ceremony. Here is another use for it. At the recent Hampton Manor wedding fair, we showed our birch arch as a backdrop with a bespoke scroll hanging from it. This backdrop could be used behind the wedding ceremony, behind a top table or behind a cake table or dessert bar.

The scroll reads “Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you” but we would love to create this to say something of your choice.

BIRCH ARCH SCROLL WEDDING BACKDROP

A wedding backdrop is a great styling trick to add to your venue decor. Here a pared-back birch arch has a personalised scroll and delicate foliage, glass hanging baubles, rustic tree stumps, an abundance of candles and relaxed planting and florals to create a great backdrop for your wedding day.

ALTERNATIVE WREATH – CART WHEEL

For an alternative wreath, we created an asymmetric floral decoration around an old cartwheel, perfect for welcoming guests to your wedding ceremony. Here the arrow reads flowers, but for a ceremony, we could change it to welcome, or later for drinks or bar.

Hampton Manor Tall Centrepieces – Gold Floral Stands & Tall Rustic Branch Stands

April 26, 2018

Looking for tall wedding centrepice ideas for your Hampton Manor wedding? Hampton Manor suits tall centrepieces. At the spring wedding fair we showed our two newest floral stands both of which would be perfect for Hampton Manor, depending on your style. This rustic branch stands would also suit barn wedding venues, or could be used as floor standing arrangements to frame your ceremony in The Birches and later used on the tables.

TALL GOLD STANDS

Tall gold stands are great for adding height and a WOW factor to a room. Here a lush arrangement with trailing foliage and a mix of scented roses, ranunculus, tuberose and tulips filled the room with scent and romance. The stands can be set out along tables or to form a top table arrangement. Smaller vases and candlesticks along the table finish the look.

TALL RUSTIC CENTREPICES – BRANCH STANDS

Tall bronze branch stands add an element of drama to the room, they suit relaxed mixed foliage displays with highlights of seasonal blooms. Here we added a mix of beautiful English tulips perfect for a spring wedding. These stands can be used floor standing at the entrance to a room, either side of the aisle or ceremony and later for the dinner.

Extra details are always appreciated a single stem to the chair and place setting is a lovely touch.
