Fish bowls at Hirst Priory

The reception of Monday's blogpost wedding bouquets (here) at the lovely Hirst Priory

The bride already had the fish bowls and mirrors (although you can hire these from us) and provided the sand for the bases.

We were asked to provide 3 ivory roses to float in water with bear grass swirls around the bowl.

Hirst Priory table settings, still a few more details to be added.

The ceremony table was provided by the venue through us as we were bringing the table flowers. Hazel, the wedding planner, knows this is the best way for all designs to match up style and colour wise.

Ivory roses, green carnations, stallion chyrsants and gyp with mixed foliage.

If you are getting married at Hirst Priory and are looking for a florist, whether for simple designs like these or for larger, fuller designs we will be happy to talk through your plans. Please book a consultation today and start your flower journey with us.

Ivory roses and gyp wedding flowers

This wedding from November is very simple but very pretty bouquets of ivory roses and gyp.

The brides bouquet was small ivory roses with gyp and ruscus foliage mixed through and around the roses.

The stems were bound with white satin ribbon.

The two bridesmaids carried a smaller bouquet of 3 ivory roses with a cloud of gyp and foliage as a collar.

Stems bound as brides, with white satin ribbon

The flower girl carried a small bouquet of a single rose with a small cloud of gyp.

The stems were bound completely with satin ribbon for comfort for little hands.

The groomsmen wore a single ivory rose and leaf

The ladies wore a single ivory rose with sprigs of gyp and foliage surround.

The presentation box ready for hand over to the bride.

We are always honoured to provide someone's wedding flowers whether a large part of the day or small. Ask us about availability for your day.

Roses and gyp are a timeless classic and ivory/white will always be in style. Here is another one based on gyp for your inspiration

Professional images of a winter wedding at Washingborough Hall

Following on from my posts earlier in the week I mentioned that I would post some professional images of the winter wedding at Washingborough Hall. Well here you are, beautiful stunning images from David Lowerson. He very kindly sent me these images and a few more to add to my portfolio. This also proves why you need a professional to take your shots on the day, so clear and light with so much detail on show.

If you are looking for a venue and a photographer I strongly suggest you check these suppliers out, links on the names above to websites.

If you do connect with either, please mention where you heard their names. I have no ties with either but it is always good to know where word of mouth comes from.

If you like the flowers in the images please do get in touch to discuss your own designs or if you are not getting wed please leave a comment below.

Hemswell Court

Rosea’s wedding reception was held at the gorgeous Hemswell 

Court, Lincolnshire. This is a stunning venue with lovely rooms 

and grounds for photo opportunities. Receptions are generally 

held in The Primrose room and this was no exception.

The top table here is a large oval table giving plenty of room for all.

The table design that works best is a long and low and we followed 

on with Rosea’s white and ivory scheme including all from 

flowers from her bouquet.

Top table flowers

Roses, Stocks, Phalaenopsis orchids, white lilac and bouvardia with 

various foliage.

Top table display

The guest tables each had a white candelabra and I added 3 white 

roses laid out around the base, in keeping with the simple and 

elegant look.

The Primrose room looks stunning when dressed and here it is 

awaiting the arrival of the bride and groom and all their guests.

I also provided ‘Thank you’ flowers to be given during the speeches. 

These were to be slightly brighter without adding any further colours.

White and Ivory Bridal Flowers

Rosea’s wedding flowers were to be kept neutral in colour but 

elegant at the same time.  We chose an assortment of classic and 

seasonal flowers (April) with roses (spray and bloom), Phalaenopsis 

orchids, lilac, stocks, calla lilies with asparagus fern.

White Shower Bouquet

This bouquet is in my top 5 from last year, look stunning and the 

scent was gorgeous.

Close up of the array of flowers in both the ‘shower’ part above and 

‘posy’ part below. One colour in varying shades needn’t be bland, 

using different sizes and shapes gives interest to the design.

The bridesmaids each carried a hand tied posy of a small selection 

of the same flowers and foliage.

The stems were bound together with ivory satin ribbon

The flower girls each carried a silver heart shaped wand with a 

single ivory rose, asparagus fern and ivory ribbon trails.

I also provided buttonholes but these got missed for the photos.

St Peter, Scotter Church

Kelly's wedding service was held at St Peter's church Scotter and she asked me to provide two traditional pedestals for either side of the altar.

These could be a mix of white and ivory flowers but must include white lilies and gerberas.

They were stood on two of my traditional white pedestal stands and would be moved to Elsham Hall for the reception.

The bridal party also dressed the aisle with ribbons and bows.
