Blue and Ivory wedding at Woodhall Spa Manor

Blue is always popular for May weddings and today's offering is no different.

This wedding was all sorted by email as the bride and groom lived away and I only met them on the wedding morning on delivery!

 The bridal bouquet was a hand tie design of blue hydrangeas, bluebells, muscari, thistle and large and spray ivory roses with eucalyptus foliage.

The bridesmaid bouquet was very similar but smaller.

The buttonholes were a single ivory rose with bluebell spike and muscari heads with eucalyptus

The ceremony and reception was a small gathering and was held at Woodhall Spa Manor 

The ceremony table was decorated with a long and low design in a mixture of the bridal flowers.

This was taken through to the top table for the wedding breakfast.

This was posy was to be used for the round guest table but as we like to give value we chose to display this on the welcoming seat at the back of the ceremony room. The bride and her guests would see this on entering and walking back down the aisle.

The Old Palace, Lincoln

Susie's wedding reception was held in the stunning Old Palace. A favourite venue of mine, hidden away behind the Cathedral it is not very well known but getting more popular as time goes on.
Susie and her mum had thought about doing their own table centres and had already gathered the kilner jars and ceramic jugs for this purpose. They did decide though, after talking to me, that it would be much easier, and less stressful, if they handed them all to me to fill and set up. They did add the bows to all the designs in readiness of the flowers.

All the vases were to be filled with the same mix of flowers as the brides bouquet with delphiniums added to create some height.

The flower mix was Forget me nots, muscari, Hydrangea, Scillia (bluebells), spray roses with fountain grass.

On the top table we had two smaller ceramic jugs

and two larger ones.

The fabulous fire place was also given a couple of kilner jars and candles.

The cake was beautiful. Quite simple in design but with the blue ribbon and the mixed posy on top it really looked stunning.
The cake table was also decorated with muscari bunches to add extra colour.

The landing outside the room had a table full of family photos and the guest book and as we had a spare jar and forget me nots and muscari left these were added on to the table.

Blue hydrangeas, bluebells, Forget me nots, Muscari and roses

This was a fabulous wedding from May last year. One of my favourites to design and create with a lovely mix of seasonal flowers. Susie (bride) wanted a seasonal bouquet of mainly blue flowers and we narrowed the choice down to Forget me nots, Muscari, Hydrangeas and Scillia (bluebells) with spray roses and eucalyptus. All these flowers work really well together in a hand tie design. The stems were bound with ivory ribbon and a lace overlay held in place with pearl headed pins.

Brides Bouquet

The three adult bridesmaids carried a similar bouquet with added larger roses to replace the hydrangers and to add in some ivory to stand out against their blue dresses.

Bridesmaid Bouquet

Flower girl bouquet

The two flower girls carried a small hand tie of spray roses, muscari, forget me nots and scillia. All the stems were bound as per the brides with ivory satin ribbon and lace.

Grooms Buttonhole

Rose and Muscari buttonhole

Susie requested lots of varying buttonholes for the groom, best man and ushers. The grooms was a single ivory rose with hydrangea florets, a scillia head, a couple of muscari and sprig of eucalyptus and fountain grass.
The ushers wore a single ivory rose with muscari, ruscus and fountain grass.

Also different designs for the ladies. All were labelled up on the day with the persons name and relationship to the couple. This saved any worry for the bride and ensured all wore the correct flower.
