Wedding flowers at Washingborough Hall

Today we continue our series of local wedding venues and another fabulous one we love dressing is Washingborough Hall.

Recently extended it can now cater for a larger wedding and the rooms are stunning. A perfect venue for a country house hotel wedding.

The entrance is appealing straight away, the stone steps can have added decoration like our bay trees or garlands around the posts.

For your ceremony, simple designs such as these wine glasses can add a spice of colour to the neutral surroundings

or stay neutral with a table runner of gyp. Beautiful lanterns and candlelight will add to the atmosphere.

Beautiful stone pedestals adorned with a traditional style pedestal will brighten up any corner.

Such a beautiful room you may decide doesn't need large flower displays. Keeping it low with table posies will add a romantic feel to the room.

Our cute pumpkin vases can hold small posies of blooms such as gyp to add elegance to the windowsills.

More table posies for your guest tables

or for a more modern take, wooden crates will work with a true country set up.

want something more glamorous? Our tall candelabras certainly bring more elegance to the room

table rose petal confetti will bring a touch of colour lower down.

Not a lover of candles? These flower balls floating on clear vases have been a hit. We have various size glassware to suit any occasion. Always with your guests comfort for ease of conversation in mind.

Don't forget your top table. You may be holding court to your guests but your table should shout celebration! Our long and low designs can be as vibrant or otherwise as you like. Loads of trailing or not depending on your take and other decorations you have.

Not a fan of one design? Here we had 3 wooden crates with jars of lavender and gyp between, the recent was outstanding with mixed herbs in the crates.

Bring that scent to your guests and fill the room with summer scents.

Lots of love for this venue, we have seen many changes within over the years. Always a pleasure to dress and style for the room and staff.

If you are holding your ceremony and wedding breakfast here or for that matter at another country style hotel, get in touch to see how we can transform the room to your personal style.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon

Washingborough Hall Hotel

Becky and her groom were married in St John’s Church in 
Washingborough and wanted a single pedestal design. I re-created 
the waterfall design of the bouquet, rather than the more traditional 
design. Added into the pinks and ivory flowers were red roses as 
these had significance to the bride.
This design was to be carried back to the Hall for the reception.

Washingborough Church Pedestal

Washingborough Hall was the setting for the wedding breakfast.
The top table had a trailing long and low design in a mix of red,
pinks and ivory flowers with mixed foliage.

Top Table design

The guest tables each had a 100 cm candelabra with a central point
 display and 4 candles. The flower mix matched the top table.

Candelabras

I also provided real rose petals for the tables in a mix of colours.

A real Wedding: An all white affair

The gorgeous all white bridal bouquet with added diamantes. This was a mix of roses, spray roses, ranunculus, freesia and double eustoma.

 The bridesmaids carried a similar mixed bouquet to the bride.

 Roses, ranunculus, spray roses and eustoma.

Gill looking stunning.

 The white theme was carried on all through the church displays.

Once the service is over it is easy to simply move the church designs over to the reception.

The very happy couple.

Another gorgeous white display for the top table.

Thank you to Gill and Rich for choosing me to design their flowers and for allowing me to share them with you. 

Thanks also to Patrick for the use of these images.

Elsham Hall

 Sorry for no post yesterday, for some reason I couldn't load any photos!
Back on track today and I thought I would share with you some of the lovely venues I get to work with. This is The barn at Elsham Hall. A stunning venue with even better grounds and with a lovely team headed by Elaine of Bride Beautiful you will be very well looked after.
The above image is of the ceremony space. The chair covers, drapes and archway are provided by Elaine. The pedestals are provided by me.

 This is Elaine's archway with a garland of fresh flowers provided by me with a registrars table display.

 Once the ceremony is over the team turn around the barn and set up for the reception. This one was a Cath Kidston inspired theme. Again all chair covers and drapes are provided by Elaine at Bride Beautiful.

 The ceremony display will be transferred to the top table.

A cream, blue and red affair

Pedestal

Vase

 I was contacted by the Ramada Hotel Grantham to provide flowers for a wedding ceremony they were holding, as part of the package they provide.

The colours were chosen by the bride to tone in with her colour scheme. Cream and blue were her main colours with an added splash of red.
For the two pedestals I included gorgeous blue hydrangeas, statuesque delphiniums and monkshood with cream lilies and chrysanthemums and red carnations.
The two vases for the mantelpiece had a delphinium, a stem of lily, a red carnation and a blue hydrangea with blue sisal.



Registrars table display

The centrepiece for the registrars table, later for the top table, used hydrangeas, lilies, chrysanthemums, red spray carnations and at the brides request two red roses.
