Beautiful summer wedding flowers at The Coach House at Doddington Hall

The setting for this summer wedding was the fabulous Coach House at Doddington Hall.

The colours and flowers continued in theme from the bridal party (see blog post here)

The ceremony table was adorned with a semi circle design of roses, eustoma, peony, alstroemeria ands mixed foliage. This would later be added to the base of the table flowers to enhance the top table design.

The aisle chairs were fabulously decorated with small hanging hurricane vases filled with summer blooms of roses, peony ammi, stocks and foliage. All tied on with an ivory satin bow. Again to reuse and make the most of the flowers, these were transferred to the windowsills for the reception.

                             

The ceremony area all set for the bride and groom and their guests.

At the back of the ceremony room there are a couple of coffee tables and it is always lovely to pop some gorgeous blooms on here to guide the way through to the main reception area.

The guest tables were treated to our tall conical vases topped with a flower ball of mixed summer blooms. We added hydrangea to peony, roses, stocks, alstroemeria, carnations and chrysants with the mixed foliage.

Many of these flowers are scented, adding another dimension to your setting.

The wonderful Coach House set for the wedding breakfast.

We always enjoy designing and setting up our flowers at this glorious venue.

All flowers are yours to keep and we collect all hired items the next morning, usually before you have left, one less thing for you to do!

If you are getting married here, or love our designs and want to discuss options at another venue please get in touch to see how we can transform your venue with beautiful blooms.

Cleatham Hall Peony and rose wedding

Alice and her groom held their wedding ceremony and reception at the gorgeous Cleatham Hall.

We are honored to be one of the preferred supplier partners at this venue and love to have the opportunity to style flowers here.

Once you go through the large front door you walk into this grand entrance hall.

On the sideboards we had positioned vases of flowers to greet guests.

These were a small mix of roses, daisies and freesias.

The card table also had it's own display

The lovely staircase had it's own garland of mixed foliage, roses and daisies.

The two alcoves were treated to their own larger vases of flowers.

The orangery looked fabulous dressed with displays of peonies and roses.

The displays were simply glass cubes with a ivory and pink roses and pink peonies with eucalyptus foliage.

The top table had the same displays to compliment the guest tables.

The mantelpiece had a gorgeous display too

of roses, peonies and a variety of daisies and mixed foliage.

View as the bride and groom would see

Another alternative to the large single display

The cubes can be hired from us for budget friendliness and the flowers given away to guests from each table. The flowers are all tied together with ribbon.

The lovely cake was finished off with a spray of roses

The lovely gardens at Cleatham Hall.

If you like what you see and would like this style of flowers at your wedding, please get in touch to discuss how we can help you achieve your dream displays.

Once again if you love peonies be aware of their short season May - July, this wedding was mid July. They are available either side but in smaller quantities, pricier and can be not as great quality.

All other flowers are available all year round.

The Dower House Hotel fabulous peony and rose wedding

This is Part 2 from yesterday's post.

The ceremony and wedding all took part at The Dower House Hotel at Woodhall Spa.

We were all slightly worried about the outdoor ceremony, it was pretty poor weather all week but the clouds parted on the day and it was lovely and dry (it was Bank Holiday weekend too!).

We decorated the arbor where the ceremony takes place with a couple of garlands of mixed foliage, hydrangeas, roses and peonies. This was from an idea the bride had seen and adapted to suit her flowers.

As it was so lovely we placed the hydrangeas in vases around on the outside tables where, no doubt, the guests would sit looking at the fabulous gardens and the rhododendrons. 

The gardens and house

The wedding signs and watering cans were decorated by the bride but these are now available to hire and we can decorate these for you.

The entrance table with seating plan and card collector. These were made by the bride but again we can now offer these to hire for your day.

The Dower House bar with a hydrangea decoration.

The Dower House furniture is gorgeous

The lovely top table was part decorated by the bride and partly by us.

Lots of lovely flowers in jam jars, some fresh (us) some artificial (bride). It took a good eye to tell the difference.

This would look (and smell) divine with all fresh flowers.

This makes a lovely alternative to one central display. Candles were also dotted through the flowers in various sized containers

A single hydrangea head in a jam jar wrapped in hessian

Pretty in pink, peony, sweet pea, roses and gyp jam jar

Pretty jars filled with summer loveliness 

Sweet avalanche roses, Sarah Bernhardt peonies, gyp, spray roses and sweet peas

The guest tables were a selection of flowers as per the top table set in 3 jam jars of various sizes stood on our log slices. We also provided candles in small jars on these too

All set and styled by us

These are such a pretty addition to your guest tables, low enough to enable chatting but pretty enough to make an impact.

The Dower house looking very pretty.

This is a really lovely venue for a garden styled wedding
