Elsham Hall wedding fayre

 At the end of September I attended Elsham Hall's wedding fayre. For some reason I didn't manage to take many photos so I only have two for you, and one of those isn't the best.
The above photo is one of my single silver candle holders with glass chimney. These are available to hire with or without flowers, but one of my favourite ways of displaying them is on a wreath of flowers. This would make a lovely spring/early summer centrepiece consisting of blue hydrangea, white ranunculus and eustoma with mixed foliage.

One of the bouquets I created was a handtie of blue hydrangea, iris, thistles, purple eustoma and cerise pink ranunculus all nestled in a bed of gold aluminium wire.

Thank you to all the couples I spoke with on the day it was lovely to meet you all.

Jocastas Reception

Claire and James held their reception in Jocastas Marquee. It is a lovely and light space with great views over the lake.
The top table had a long and low design and a foliage swag.



The centrepiece consisted of ivory lillies, sweet avalanche and avalanche roses and stock with palms, ruscus and eucalyptus.

The swag was mainly ruscus with bear grass. Claire wanted alittle colour adding so I included some spray roses in pale pink along with pairs of avalanche and sweet avalanche roses on each swag end.

The five guest tables were treated to giant martini vases filled with similar flowers to the top table. Ivory lillies, pink and ivory roses and stocks. The 'vase' is filled with dark blue cello to complement the colour scheme.

Each table also had fresh pink and ivory rose petals scattered over them.

Jocastas marquee ready and waiting for the arrival of the bride and groom.

The arrival table ready to great guests with a glass of bubbly.

Claire's 'throwing' bouquet as an extra display.

Blue bridesmaid bouquet

A small bouquet, suitable for a bridesmaid or flowergirl, of blue muscari. Wrapped with ivory lace ribbon and pinned with matching blue pins. Blue muscari, a spring favourite.

An arrangement suitable for a table centre.

A masse of muscari bound with blue satin ribbon stood in a small glass bowl. The mirror is optional. The scent is delicious, imagine a room full of them.....

Hydrangea table centres

Following on from plants in tea cups for favours, hydrangea plants dressed up for table centres. These can then be either taken home by the happy couple and planted in your garden or equally given as thank you's to any special helpers as a lovely reminder of your wedding day.

Reception flower ideas

A few ideas for your reception flowers.
Tall clear vases with a full arrangement on top. These were at The Woodhall Spa Hotel. Tall clear vases again, but minimal flower content. A single stem of oriental lily with steel grass.

An alternative place setting, can be made into a place card with the attachment of a broad leaf hand written with guest's name.

Traditional flower posy table centres-Venue was Kelham Hall

A gorgeous pew end all in white. Freesia, oriental lily and roses. The scent is divine.

30cm Glass vase

NEW IN!!
30cm tall glass cylinder vase ideal for table centres. Low enough for a minimal arrangement (as photo) not to obscure the view for people sat opposite. Tall and wide enough to take a full arrangement should you prefer.

Please get in touch if you would like a quote.

A few more examples of my designs.

A gerbera shower bouquet.

Burgundy and yellow was the colour scheme and a natural/woodland theme was the order of the day.
