To continue our feature on colour, this time on BLUE designs for your wedding reception.
Hydrangea are possibly the most go to flower for blue. It is a true blue which is, not rare, but there are not so many blooms.
Here at the wonderful Norwood Park we placed 3 gorgeous full hydrangeas in a glass cube, for a simple yet effective colour block design.
Our beautiful bird cages look stunning sat on a bed of flowers, including hydrangea, Nigella, Euston and roses.
Love the simplicity of jam jars? From a few weeks ago a delphinium spike with gyp for a country style wedding.
Another take on jam jars - fill with seasonal blooms, hydrangea, dahlia, roses, thistle, and group together on shelves or radiator covers, during the ceremony and then add to guest tables for the wedding breakfast.
A stunning long and low for the ceremony which is later transferred to your top table.
Hydrangea, Scillia, blue eucalyptus, roses, spray roses and foliage.
Use flowers to block a seat that you don't want someone siting on just yet, a beautiful posy does the job.
Fish bowls look beautiful with blue flowers. Add a candle for ambience to a late spring wedding when it still gets dark early on.
We can usually design flowers in anything. A teapot, no problem, jugs, yes. A beautiful spring wedding with a tea service on the top table and mason jars for the guest designs.
Filled with sting lushness, Forget me nots, Muscari, Scillia, and fountain grass.
Add in hydrangea and delphiniums for the larger designs.
Have a mantlepiece in your reception room? Use this to add colour higher up to take your eye through the room, especially if having all low designs. They don't have to be huge, simple jars can be effective with the right flowers.
Although nothing can beat a full sized flower display across a mantlepiece, I love creating these.
Not quite a mantlepiece but what a setting for the top table, bride and groom central with flowers infant and behind framing them perfectly.
We are always mindful of other possessions, like this painting. We won't put anything on to disturb or interfere. Keeping flowers low and narrow is the best of both.
These designs can then be transferred across to your top table, a central design to sit in front of you the happy couple.
Some gorgeous flower mixes and not always blue and white/ivory. Add in other colours to warm the palette - pinks and purples
or for a vibrant feel add yellow.
or for a more muted scheme blue and lilac
Or keep it simple and use jam jars across the top table to match the guest designs.
Whatever your style and budget we can create stunning designs to suit.
These blue rose are not to everyones taste but are so popular when in The Studio, pop them in a lily vase and you have a vibrant blue centrepiece.
Our gorgeous tall candelabras with flower balls and taper candles make a fabulous addition to any table.
Full designs of stunning delphinium spikes, gyp and ivy on tall conical vases really add the WOW factor to your wedding breakfast.
Another gorgeous design on the same vase, a smaller flower ball look just as lovely.
For low designs, a different take on fish bowls, use as a vase with beautiful iris, thistle and roses with lots of blue eucalyptus.
Or stack the bowls and fill with blue stones then float gorgeous full ivory roses for a contrast.
Blue sashes and rose petals mean you can keep the flowers neutral. The room still has a blue look but understated.
For a vibrant wedding team blue with yellow and red. Another vase for the mantlepiece
while the pedestals frame it either side.
Wanting a paler colour scheme? This wedding was pale blue and white, a beautiful long and low of gerbera, stallion, spray roses and gyp with lots of gorgeous seasonal Nigella
The same flowers were added to our small candelabras which adorn the U shaped table for an intimate wedding.
Containers can be utilised well, a small crate for a country wedding
or add a touch of glamour and wrap pots with fabric for a formal wedding luncheon.
I hope this has given you some inspiration for your own blue wedding reception?
We have many more designs and ideas and would love to talk you through your own ideas and dreams for your big day.
