Pastel Pink, white and Champagne reception flowers at The Lincoln Hotel

Following on from V & G wedding party flowers we now focus on the reception displays.

This reception was held in the Cathedral Suite at The Lincoln Hotel. This is a bright and airy space with stunning views across to the Cathedral.

The top table was adorned with a long and low display of matching flowers to the bride's bouquet, see here. White lilies, stocks, ammi, pink roses and spray roses, champagne eustoma and carnations with mixed foliage.

This is a beautifully scented display adding an extra dimension to your set up.

The room can be set in different settings depending on your numbers.

Each guest table was styled with one of my large (70cm) martini vases which are hired. These are created with a mix of matching blooms to compliment the overall styling of the day.

These displays are certainly eye catching when you walk in the room and are tall enough not to block any conversation between guests on the tables.

These table flowers formed part of the top package at the hotel. Ask at the hotel for details. Once you have booked there and would like to discuss your flower options within the package please get in touch. There is a set budget but you are free to choose any type of display, colour or flower that fits within. No cookie cutter must have's here!

Autumn bridal party flowers

This was a gorgeous autumn wedding back in October 2014.

Lots of lovely vintage touches through the day and the flowers added a splash of colour.

The bride's bouquet was a hand tie design of orange gerberas, pink garden roses and burgundy spray roses with hypericum berries and silver foliage and pearls on a wire.

The stems were fully bound with orange satin ribbon with a teal overlay of shoestring ribbon.

The bridesmaids carried a similar but smaller version of the bride's

with silver ribbon around the stems and overlay of burgundy shoestring ribbon.

The groom wore an orange gerbera with silver foliage and grass loops as his buttonhole.

The groomsmen wore an orange gerbera buttonhole with silver foliage

and the mum's wore one with pearls added.

Other female guests wore a garden rose buttonhole

Tomorrow will be the gorgeous ceremony set up at The White Heather

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.

 One of the porchway designs from the church re sited at the entrance to the marquee.

Pink and Silver wedding flowers

I have known Laura and her family for a few years and was delighted to be asked if I could design her wedding flowers.

The style of the wedding was to be country and the main colours to be pink. It was quickly decided a hand-tie style was appropriate for Laura and her 6 bridesmaids, who were wearing a lovely shade of blue. The flowers were briefly discussed but the final content was left up to me to decide.
Laura's bouquet consisted of Sweet avalanche and Sudoku roses, Gracia spray roses, stocks, sweet peas, astrantias, gueldarose, asparagus fern, ivy and baby blue eucalyptus.

Laura's Bridal Bouquet

 The stems were completely bound with silver ribbon and a silver organza bow to finish.

Stocks, Sudoku and Sweet Avalanche roses, Astrantia

 The six bridesmaids all carried a similar design although smaller and neater.



Two bridesmaids bouquets

The groom wore a Sweet Avalanche rose with an astrantia flower and gueldarose with ivy to match with his bride.

 The Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom wore matching corsages. Keeping in with the colour scheme they had a Sudoku rose with pink eustoma, Gracia spray roses, larkspur buds and pink gyp with baby blue eucalyptus.

 All the ladies of the bridal party wore a single Sudoku rose with pink gyp and baby blue eucalyptus.

 All the men of the bridal party wore a single Sweet Avalanche rose with ivy leaves.

Some of Laura's flowers all boxed up and ready for delivery.

Candelabras and roses

A few photos from the Lincoln wedding fair. I supplied these flowers for Bernadette from Lincolnshire Lanterns for her display at The Old Palace. Apparently the day went well with plenty of brides attending. A tulip and rose display in one of Lincolnshre Lanterns vintage style glass vases. These are available to hire.

A close up of the flowers in the candelabras. I chose pale pink tulips with Heaven roses and ming fern, with white Genista to add some fragrance.

The candelabras complete with candles can be hired through Lincolnshire Lanterns. If flowers are required please get in touch with me for a full quote.
