FLOWER WALL BACKDROP, PEONIES & GOLD GLITTER – CURRADINE BARNS WEDDING

September 26, 2016

This gorgeous wedding has so many of our favourite things flower wall backdrop, peonies and lots of gold glitter so we were thrilled to take our team down to Curradine Barns for this amazing wedding for the lovely Louise and Rob.

CREATING THE FLOWER WALL BACKDROP AT CURRADINE BARNS

Louise had one particular request she wanted flowers to cover the wall behind the top table to create a backdrop for her wedding celebrations. So the team carefully created her dream by hanging bombastic and miss bombastic spray roses with soft lisianthus to soften her backdrop. Louise and the girls were getting ready at the Barn and so popped in en masse to check how things were going.

PEONY BOUQUETS FOR THE BRIDE AND BRIDESMAIDS

Glamour was the key to the day and nothing hits the spot more than masses of peonies for beautiful bouquets with luxe dresses and lots of gold and glitter.

CHURCH WEDDING CEREMONY

The wedding took place at Great Witley Church in Worcestershire and was worth the steep climb up the hill to reveal the most beautiful Baroque Church, noted to be the finest example in England. An abundance of gold created the most magical setting for tying the knot.

CURRADINE BARN WEDDING FLOWERS AND DECORATIONS

The gold signage and stationery continued the gold and glitter mood and was used everywhere, I just love this Order of the Day.

HANGING FLOWER HOOPS, GLASS FOOTED BOWL CENTREPIECES

Lush florals in glass footed bowls were laid out on the tables with hanging flower hoops suspended from the beams over many of the tables to create the natural flower filled room for our happy couple. I just love seeing the delight on Louise’s face as she enters her dream room.

TOP TABLE FLORAL GARLAND AND FLOWER WALL BACKDROP

As the evening went on the speeches and toasts were enjoyed by all with a floral garland to the top table and the stunning flower wall backdrop. Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Jeffers you planned a great party for family and friends.

GOLD WEDDING CAKE, BOUQUETS TO DECORATE

We left vases to keep the bouquets looking lush around the beautiful gold wedding cake set on the gold glitter cloth.

SPARKLERS!

Sparklers always add a bit of fun to the evening celebrations.

FLOWER CROWN FOR THE EVENING

If you fancy a change of look from day to evening then change your hairpiece or veil for a flower crown to be worn for the dancing.

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.

PEACH ROSE BUTTON HOLES

Peach and ivory avalanche roses were worn by the men.

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.

NATURAL DELPHINIUM PETAL CONFETTI

Natural freeze dried confetti is beautifully scented and perfect for that confetti moment. Make sure you have some waiting in a basket at the ceremony location.

THE RECEPTION DECORATIONS – HAMPTON MANOR

CENTREPIECES – GROUPING OF GLASS AND SILVER VASES

Groupings work well for an informal layout with a variety of vases and vessels in differing heights.

WEDDING FAVOURS – LOVE IS SWEET

Yolande chose our personalised Love is Sweet labels and jars for her favours from our sister company The Wedding of My Dreams.

GUEST BOOK TABLE

A few blooms added to the guest book table finished the look.

WEDDING CAKE TABLE FLOWERS

If you are looking for a master baker and stylish cake then Ben The Cakeman is a great choice. We love this cake with the macaroons with a trio of bottles with flowers from the day.

The love these two share is so evident in these photos, congratulations to you both on your first wedding anniversary. x

ELEVATED FLORALS ABOVE LONG TABLES – PERFECT ALTERNATIVE TO HANGING FLOWERS

May 31, 2016

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

May 31, 2016

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.

TALL BRONZE VASES FOR CENTREPIECES WITH CLASSIC WHITE FLOWERS

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

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 – ANTLERS & GOLD VASES

April 25, 2016

We always get a thrill when we see one of our weddings on Rock My Wedding and we loved this awesome wedding at Shustoke Farm Barns one of our Warwickshire venues.

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.

THE BOUQUETS – ROSES AND HYDRANGEAS

Fluffy hydrangeas with O’Hara roses were bound together to create a lush late summer bouquet with a gorgeous scent.The bridal bouquet included seeded eucalyptus and touches of baby’s breath with long trailing ribbons.

BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS

The bridesmaids carried hydrangea and eucalyptus bouquets, a great combination with their mint dresses.I love this relaxed image in the field.

THE BUTTON HOLES

Rustic button holes with spray rose, eucalyptus and thistle suited the boys.

CEREMONY AT SHUSTOKE FARM BARNS

Shustoke Farm Barns is lovely for an indoor ceremony with its exposed brick work, beams and twinkling lights.

RUSTIC LUXE STYLING & WELCOME FLOWERS

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.

THE TABLE PLAN – POLAROID PHOTOS FOR EACH GUEST

The polaroid table plan helps each guest find their seat.

RUSTIC LUXE WEDDING CENTREPIECES

The eucalyptus place settings and favours continue the rustic luxe ideas complementing the centrepieces and styling.

WEDDING CAKE ON WOODEN TREE SLICE

The simple cake just needed a couple of star blooms to dress.

We loved working with Jackie and Ross to help them develop their wedding look and it seems they loved us too. x

“Thanks so much for all your efforts with the flowers. They were stunning and I thought the venue looked great. You have been great throughout the whole process so thanks from both of us. Love Jackie & Ross x
