Elegant White Wedding Flowers – Hampton Court House Wedding

December 17, 2019

We always love weddings at venues new to us and the chance to create elegant wedding flowers for Jess and Andrew at Hampton Court House was just perfect. We made sure we met at the venue in the planning stages to be sure we knew the venue well when it came to setting up for the wedding.

WHITE BRIDAL BOUQUET

Jess had classic taste and knew she wanted a timeless, elegant rose bouquet. Alabaster roses with their open heads were a stunning choice with lisianthus and spray roses.

WHITE BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS

The bridesmaids wore an elegant mix of dresses and carried blousy bouquets.

CEREMONY URNS AT HAMPTON COURT HOUSE

The ceremony room was set up with large urns to frame the ceremony and windows out onto the parkland. Hydrangea,a roses, lisianthus and light touches of foliage kept the look classically elegant.

CREAM BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES FOR AN ELEGANT LOOK

Jess chose her school friends as bridesmaids who all looked dreamy in their elegant full length dresses.

The conservatory led into the gardens and dining room giving the guests a chance to explore the beautiful grounds. The urns framed the arch for an elegant look.

TALL CANDELABRA WEDDING CENTREPIECES AT HAMPTON COURT HOUSE

Guest tables were decorated with tall gold candlelabra with a blousy mix of white and green flowers and foliage from the day. White and green are always an elegant choice and perfect for this venue.

GOLD TABLE NUMBER FRAMES AND MENU HOLDERS

The gold in the room on the chairs, door frames and details was picked up with the table number frames and menu holders. These details will bring your wedding look together so make sure you ask your florist to coordinate the look of your table designs.

TIMELESS ELEGANT TOP TABLE FLOWERS

All eyes were on the top table for the speeches and the wedding party were greeted by a timeless elegant design for their top table.

WEDDING CAKE FLOWERS

VENUE STYLING DETAILS, SIGNS & PHOTOS

Jess and Andrew hung photos around the venue of family and friends and added signs for the evening.

We loved being party of Jess and Andrew’s wedding. Jess has been a friend of Gemma’s since early school days and it was wonderful to see a number of our previous wedding couples over the weekend. Thanks also to Jen who came down to help me with the wedding so that Gemma could enjoy being a bridesmaid.

‘We can’t stop looking at the photos and at how incredible the flowers looked. You all worked so hard to make it so utterly perfect for us, thank you.’

Andrew and Jess thanks for your lovely note and for the wonderful bottle of fizz. ‘Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness.

Asymmetric Deconstructed Arches – Learning with Sabine Darrall

July 31, 2019

Wedding styles are always evolving and we have been creating deconstructed arches for a number of our weddings over the last year or so. To learn a few more tricks of the trade especially creating with no floral foam I enjoyed a couple of days with Sabine Darrall earlier this year. These images show the beauty we can create. Personally, I love the natural green and white of the first image perfect for a foliage-filled wedding.

I just love this romantic look with the combination of the softest blush pink roses, scented lilac , amelanchier and blousy hydrangeas perfect for a spring wedding.

The final image shows how colour can transform the look with strong pink tones and a garden bench.

If you are looking for statement flowers for your wedding please get in touch we would love to be the florist for your wedding. Karen x

Neutral Toned Wedding Flowers & Styling – Compton Verney Shoot

July 2, 2019

A stunning shoot I worked on earlier in the year in the lovely Compton Verney wedding venue, an art gallery in a Grade I Georgian mansion surrounded by stunning parklands and lake played. Compton Verney is a special wedding venue for me as my son is getting married here next summer. The Adam Hall is the jewel of the Compton Verney estate. Featuring large picture windows, marble floor, ornate pillars and high ceilings, it exudes timeless elegance.

I worked on this shoot with a number of talented local wedding suppliers, we provided an epic floral backdrop made from dried bulrushes, foliage and pampas grass using brass vases and lanterns from our sister site The Wedding of my Dreams. I also made a loose hand tied bouquet featuring hand-dyed ribbons from Little Acorn Silks, which looked delicate and simple creating a modern, minimalist look.

This wedding shoot was featured on Rock My Wedding, see more from the shoot here.

Blackwell Grange Wedding Flowers – Winter Wedding, Rich Red Tones

June 1, 2019

Winter wedding bouquets reds blush pink foliage Passion for Flowers

We love winter weddings but don’t usually wake up to a fresh coating of snow on the wedding morning. This added to the gorgeous winter look for Zeb and Steph who married at Blackwell Grange.

Steph carried a winter bridal bouquet with deep burgundy red roses, softer toned quicksand roses, touches of nigella seed heads and a mix of eucalyptus to finish.

WINTER WEDDING BLACKWELL GRANGE – THE CEREMONY

Low Centrepieces – Footed Bowls Along Long Tables

April 23, 2019

Elegant footed bowl wedding centrepieces by Passion for Flowers Hampton Manor wedding florist

Not every centrepice has to be tall, in fact more and more of our couples are opting for low centrepieces. Low doesn’t mean any less WOW, footed bowls can look stunning on tables and I often design them with flowers cascading over the brim for a really full look.

At Hampton Manor I recently showed some spring designs in footed bowls. I displayed the same designs on both the bare wooden tables and clothed tables, deciding whether or not you have linen on your tables can really transform the look of the room so this is a great way to see how the same centrepiece can look different simply based on the linen and chairs.

Low Footed Bowls – A Classic Look

For the more traditional, classic look I placed 3 low centrepieces down the length of the table. Bronze candlesticks, vases and tealight holders filled in the spaces between the footed bowls for an elegant look. Hampton Manor had clothed the tables and used their Chiavari chairs for a more classic look.

Low Footed Bowls – A Rustic / Industrial Look

Here I have used the same design footed bowls, candlesticks and bronze vases but this time they are displayed on Hampton Manor’s new wooden tables and leather chairs. You can see how the bare tables really transform the look for a more rustic/industrial vibe. Both options are available at Hampton Manor.

Co-ordinating Top Table Design

To co-ordinate the room the top table had one low footed bowl in the centre with loose foliage laid along the length of the table as well as bronze candlesticks and tealights.

Full Length Table Garlands – Long Table Centrepieces

April 23, 2019

Long tables wedding flower garlands rustic barn wedding ideas

If you have chosen long guest tables you just can’t beat the classic look of a garland flowing the entire length of the table. I created these garlands for Hampton Manor’s recent wedding fair on their new wooden tables, which I just love.

For this design I opted for no floral foam, using a mix of foliage, roses, ranunculus and spring blooms down the length of the table. Candlesticks were entwined into the design and to finish off the wooden tables I added a natural cotton table runner and brass name place settings. If you love this idea but have chosen round tables we could still incorporate this into your table design.

Epic Wedding Backdrop Arch set behind Top Table – Wild Foliage

April 23, 2019

Hampton Manor new wooden tables and brown leather chairs

My new favourite backdrop! I have recently invested in a new frame which lets me create these epic backdrops for wedding venues. It’s first outing was at Hampton Manor wedding fair where I used it as a backdrop to the top table, I used mainly foliage for this design with touches of roses and blossom. This design was completely foam free and therefore much kinder to thee environment.

This idea could also be used as a ceremony backdrop or could be set at the entrance to your wedding venue or behind you wedding cake. The frame is pretty flexible too so can be made to the size you require, it’s maximum height is 10′ and starts at 6′ and the maximum width is 12′.
