Gyp wedding flowers

A lovely gyp wedding I had the honour of creating a couple of weeks ago. Another bride who I have never met! All consulting had been achieved over email, passing photos she liked and talking colours.

The bridal bouquet was gorgeous sweet avalanche roses interspersed through a cloud of gyp.

The two bridesmaids each carried a posy of cloud of gyp

the three lovely bouquets together.

The groomsmen buttonholes were also little posies of gyp.

The service was to be held at Buckminster church where alternate pews were decorated with more posies of gyp and long tailed organza bows.

Grooms eye view towards his brides entrance.

The lovely barn at Buckminster is a venue I hadn't visited before but is a gorgeous space for a wedding reception.

The bride had bought these vintage style jugs and asked me for gyp to fill them. Nothing regiment, just stems to fill.

The stunning view from the barn from the large car park.

If you are looking for a small - medium sized venue to the south of our county then Buckminster Barn is worth looking at. Upstairs was set up for the reception but also has a downstairs room and plenty of space outside for fun and games which were also being set up whilst I was there.

If you want gyp for your wedding flowers and these have inspired you, please get in touch to book a consultation to get your flower planning journey started.

Look forward to hearing from you soon

Marquee Reception

The reception of Laura and Simon's wedding was held in a marquee at the family home.
The colour scheme was all white with pink added with the flower displays and hot pink favours.
Laura wanted the top table display to be minimal and disliked the usual long and low displays so in keeping with the guest tables we used 2 sizes of fishbowls.


Top Table

 The bowls included, suduko roses, astrantia, larkspur, gracia spray roses, eucalyptus and corn.

 As there were 12 tables we decided to split the designs between high and low to add impact and interest when entering the marquee.

 There were six tables with large fish bowls using similar flowers to the top table plus, guelderose and sweet peas.

  The other six tables had large martini vases with a variety of gorgeous pink flowers in various shades. These included larkspur, sweet avalanche roses, stocks, hydrangeas, astrantia, pink gyp, with eucalyptus, ruscus, asparagus fern and corn.

The view as you walk into the marquee

The catering and table set up was by X-Keys at Stow. They were there when I first arrived, and as a night time guest, they were still there when I left. The service was superb throughout I'm told.

The bar was provided by the local Half Moon pub, where on a personal note I was pleased they were serving their own brewed beer: Grafters Brewery

I love the pink and white light shades in the ceiling. 



View from the top table

The wedding ceremony itself was at the local village church where I had been asked to provide the lovely church ladies with matching flowers for them to decorate the windows, porchway and a pedestal. I was then asked, if possible, after the service could I take some of the displays down to the marquee.

This is the pedestal in situ to the side of the top table and it fits in perfectly with the other designs.
