hanging-roses-in-apothecary-bottles-wedding-flowers-1

Yolande and Ian married at Hampton Manor with a ceremony in The Birches and reception in Elizabeth’s Court. Richard Shepherd captured the romance of their wedding beautifully.

PEACH AND WHITE BRIDAL BOUQUET – PEACH AVALANCHE ROSES & HYDRANGEAS

The bridal bouquet was a large mix of peach avalanche roses and hydrangea. Ian, always so thoughtful, surprised his wife on their first anniversary and asked me to create a bouquet for her with the same mix of flowers. What a happy wife he has.

HANGING APOTHECARY BOTTLES OUTSIDE THE CEREMONY

The Birches is set in a woodland part of the Hampton Manor Estate and hanging apothecary bottles look great hanging from the trees.

THE BIRCHES – WEDDING CEREMONY FLOWERS & DECORATIONS

The Birches suits rustic elegant styling with its large wooden doors, logs and wooden floor. We added candles with moss down the aisle and a mix of vases and vessels. We have an ever expanding selection which our couples can choose from when they meet at our new workshop in Berkswell. That way their wedding is personal to them.

Stacey and Ashley tied the knot at Warwick House, nestled in Southam, Warwickshire.

HAMPTON MANOR NEW OUTDOOR SEATING AREA – STYLED BY PASSION FOR FLOWERS

Hampton Manor outdoor seating area styled with flowers and sparklers by Hampton Manor

As we regularly work at Hampton Manor we love it when new changes are made to venues. Hampton Manor have recently enhanced the outdoor area next to Elizabeth’s Court. There is a new seating area for guests to relax which would be lovely on a summers evening.

Have a look at the new seating area we recently styled with copper vases, pretty blooms lanterns, candles and sparklers. Doesn’t it look magical.

ELEVATED FLORALS ABOVE LONG TABLES – PERFECT ALTERNATIVE TO HANGING FLOWERS

Elevated florals above long tables for weddings by Passion for Flowers shown here at Hampton Manor

What do you think of our elevated florals shown here in the Parlour at Hampton Manor? This elevated design can be used along long tables to create the illusion of hanging flowers without having to fix anything to the ceiling at a venue – much quicker and easier to install on site than a hanging display. The flowers sit on a shelf supported by clear glass tall vases and we think they look just fab…

If you have longer tables the elevated display could continue onto another vase and another to match the length of your table.
If you are getting married at Hampton Manor we love a little extra floral decoration in the Parlour, it will be sure to wow your wedding guests.

HAMPTON MANOR WEDDING FLORIST – TALL BRONZE VASES FOR CENTREPIECES WHITE / BRIGHT PINK FLOWERS

Tall centrepices bright pink blossom in bronze vases at Hampton Manor - flowers by Passion for Flowers @kmorganflowers

At Passion for Flowers we love working on Hampton Manor weddings. Hampton Manor is only about 10 minutes away from our studio so we often find ourselves working on weddings at this beautiful venue. Being a recommended wedding florist at Hampton Manor we were delighted to be involved in a shoot for their new brochure.

If you are including bronze in your wedding colours you will love these new tall bronze vases we have added to our collection of vases. Here we have shown how they look with classic white flowers and a contrast to show how they look with bright pink florals to tie in with the chairs often used at Hampton Manor.

Here we have used white hydrangeas and pale pink lilac with snippets of eucalyptus to create a larger arrangement within the stunning Elizabeth’s Court. To add candle light at a lower level on the table we have included our bronze candle sticks and bronze votives.

TALL BRONZE VASES FOR CENTREPIECES WITH PINK BLOSSOM

Tall centrepices bright pink blossom in bronze vases at Hampton Manor - flowers by Passion for Flowers @kmorganflowers

We just love using blossom within our floral creations when it is in season, and this pink blossom was just perfect for a brighter centrepiece at Hampton Manor. The pink really ties in with the pink chairs often used in Elizabeth’s Court. Again we have used bronze candle sticks and votives to create interest at the lower level.

These two different centrepieces use the same vase but demonstrate how they can look completely different using different flowers, colours and textures in the arrangements.

To tie in with the pink and bronze centrepiece we decorated the top table with a run of bronze vases with pink blossom and a mix of different bronze votives.

RUSTIC LUXE WEDDING AT SHUSTOKE FARM BARNS

The barn lends itself to a rustic luxe wedding so we worked with Jackie and Ross to create a perfect look for their late summer wedding. Metallic vases and votives along with glass bottles worked well for their rustic look. The curated antlers were the finishing touch together with the stationery created with love by the groom’s sister, a graphic designer.

To add a WOW factor to your wedding a rustic flower garland creates a great welcome to your guests and gives a first glimpse of your wedding celebrations. Here blousy hydrangea, eucalyptus and baby’s breath met the rustic brief. Simple wicker wreaths, bottles and tree slices with a few hidden stags continued the relaxed feel to the day.Flower arches at Shustoke Farm BarnsRustic-wedding-styling-with-antlers-and-willow-hearts-at-Shustoke-Farm-Barns-Wedding-Florist-Passion-for-Flowers-@kmorganflowersRustic-Luxe-Wedding-Styling-at-Shustoke-Farm-Barns-Wedding-Florist-Stylist-Passion-for-Flowers-@kmorganflowersrustic luxe wedding styling bell jars on tree slices

CHAPEL DESIGNERS LONDON 2016

London and Brixton East had a surprise last week when an amazing group of talented floral designers and industry greats got together for Chapel Designers London 2016. The event organised by Holly Heider Chapple of Chapel Designers and Nick Priestly of Mood Flowers was an amazing few days of love, laughter, and learning.

These images show some of my personal highlights.

Window boxes in rainbow colours stretching out along the street in front of Brixton East created by groups of Chapel Designers working together in colour teams inspired by a demo by talented duo Athena Duncan and Mairead Curtin from London florists Rebel Rebel.

chapel designers London 2016 deep flowers we used

A Chapel Designers Conference gives everyone a chance to unwind, rethink mechanics and techniques, share experiences, start new friendships, noursish old friendships and learn in a relaxed and open way. Holly Chapple opended her heart to us and enabled us to produce some great work. Paul Pryke gave us an insight into the world of a floral writer and designer and inspired us with her work. Rebel Rebel told some great tales of early days and I just love their bouquet on legs. Flowerona gave us some useful tips on Instagram and social media.

chapel designers London 2016

After a demo from Holly I loved creating this elegant bouquet so beautifully captured by Amanda Dumouchelle who had travelled over from the US to work with Holly and the Chapel Designers. Her work is so wonderful I can’t wait to see more of her images of what my fellow Chapel Designers created. So much beauty in one place.

Karen Morgan @kmorganflowers Passion for Flowers bouquet created at Chapel Designers London 2016

A highlight was the Chapel Designers Dinner where we celebrated with all the speakers and Chapel Designers, certainly an evening to remember. The fun we had creating the immense tablescape was awesome and we all enjoyed getting to dine under our floral canopy. Team work never looked so good.

An early morning visit to New Covent Garden Market gave us a chance to repurpose our designs alongside the Floral Angels. A great opportunity to support this wonderful charity so close to many of our hearts.

Floral Angels Chapel Designers London 2016

The finale was an epic demonstration by Shane Connolly, his dramatic urn design was overflowing with natural beauty and seasonal delights including garden favourites Viburnum burkwoodii, Amelanchier, Viburnum Opulus and Jasmine. I love his style of work and am thrilled to have had an opportunity to watch him at work.

I am back in the studio now missing my fellow Chapel Designers, feeling inspired by what we can achieve together and looking forward to continuing as floral friends in this wonderful industry.

CLASSIC ELEGANT WEDDING FLOWERS AT THE HEATH HOUSE [PART 2 OF JIN & ATUL’S WEDDING]

Stunning blush pink and teal bouquet by @kmorganflowers Passion for Flowers

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. Wedding at The Heath House Staffordshire (2)Wedding at The Heath House Staffordshire (4)

PART ONE OF JIN AND ATUL’S WEDDING – HINDU CEREMONY AT THE HEATH HOUSE

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.

FLOWERS FOR THE CHEESE CAKE

Bailey, Kathryn and families have a love of good food and cheese so the choice of cake was a labour of love. Each cheese stack had been carefully selected as a favourite and we loved the opportunity to style the table with a rustic wooden tree slice and beautiful blooms from their day.

I was thrilled to receive thanks from Kathryn and Bailey and a lovely note from Kathryn’s mum, “We knew from day 1 that you were the florist for us and I would recommend you to anyone; worth every penny (or £)! Thanks again for the visual impact you created for a perfect day.”

WEDDING CEREMONY AT PACKWOOD CHURCH – BLUSH PINK ROSE AND SAGE GREEN EUCALYPTUS  BRIDAL BOUQUET

I am a country girl at heart and when the lovely Isabelle contacted me about the flowers for her wedding at Packwood Church in Warwickshire I was thrilled. The church is a personal favourite and the pefect place for a country wedding. Isabelle and her fiance were living in Switzerland so we skyped and shared ideas on pinterest. It soon became apparent that Isabelle was a true romantic and wanted to create a romantic summer wedding wtih beautiful summer flowers including roses, sweet peas and baby’s breath with touches of sage green eucalyptus.

MARQUEE WEDDING RECEPTION – GROOM’S FAMILY HOME, KNOWLE, SOLIHULL

The marquee setting was hosted at the Groom’s family home and the family worked tirelessly to decorate the marquee and garden. No detail was left to chance, the metres of bunting had been lovingly made by the Groom’s mum and pastel coloured lanterns were hung from the marquee.

The aroma of home grown sweat peas filled the room and a wonderful collection of crystal, rose bowls and candelabra were a delight to fill with a mix of soft romantic blooms.
