White and blue ceremony and reception flowers at The Lincoln Hotel

The second part of a lovely country styled wedding. 

The ceremony and reception were held at The Lincoln Hotel.

We carried on the white and blue colour scheme and along with the carnations and delphinium we added astrantia, astilbe, santini and alstroemeria.

The ceremony table had 3 jars of mixed flowers along with a few wooden branches to tie the look together,

Simple yet effective jars of flowers which would later be moved to the top table.

Each of the guest tables would have a grouping of 3 jars set on a wood slice.

Differing height jars and flowers give the blooms room and stop them being 'in the way' for your guests.

Just occasionally, (very rarely) the tables at a venue are just not ready for setting and time runs out for my delivery schedule. In these instances, especially at a hotel like The Lincoln, I can leave the displays set as I and the bride requested and the wonderful team will set them on the tables. It is at times like these that you know you are working with a great venue.

Thank you bouquets.

These are taken to reception and hidden from your guests until you are ready to present at the speeches.

If you love this style of design or the mix of flowers and colours and would like to incorporate into your own day please get in touch to discuss your options.

At The Lincoln Hotel I am one of their preferred suppliers and these are one of many options within their top package that include the table flowers.

Sunflowers at Markham Moor Inn

Our lovely couple held their summer wedding breakfast at The Markham Moor Inn.

Low posies made a bright table centrepiece using the same flowers as the bridal bouquet, sunflowers, freesia and cornflowers, with the addition of yellow chrysants and yellow spotted laurel.

Small yellow santini chrysants are like mini sunflowers

The wedding cake was adorned with more sunflowers, freesia and cornflowers

Cake topper of sunflowers and freesia and corsages on each tier

Small posies were provided for adding to small jars collected by the bride for extra decoration

Lastly a thank you hand tie in the same wedding flowers for that extra special person who helped set the day.

Sunflowers are not to everyones taste at a wedding but they are a bright happy flower and add a sense of fun to the day.

Gyp and thistle wedding

A lovely gyp based wedding from a while ago that got missed on the blog.

A slight twist on the usual gyp bouquet for the bride with added blue thistles and trails of ivy to add movement to the design as you walk down the aisle.

The bridesmaids each carried a posy of gyp with added shoestring ribbon trails.

The lovely flower girl carried a basket of gyp and thistles decorated with satin burgundy ribbon and cute bows.

The bride also wore gyp in her hair, and we provided 6 wired sprigs so the hair dresser could attach.

The groom wore a single thistle head with trig of gyp and and ivy leaf as his buttonhole.

While the rest of the groomsmen wore a single thistle hard and ivy leaf. All stems were bound with twine.

The ladies wore a corsage of gyp. The bride had asked for an elongated shape rather than the usual round bunch. We added white ribbon around the stems and a cute bow.

Buttonholes at the ready for delivery.

We also provided thank you flowers for the speeches

and a single table display for the wedding breakfast table. This included white lily, roses, gyp, and seasonal foliage.

Another intimate wedding party we created flowers for. Whatever size of your day we can style your flowers and deliver to your venue on the wedding morning.

If you love what we do, book a consultation to discuss your flowers soon, and let us take you on a flower adventure

Pale blue, peach and white wedding flowers

A couple of Saturday's ago I had the great pleasure of creating the flowers for G & J's wedding.

G was a customer of ours back in the old days of the shop and had been searching for me. A mutual acquaintance put is in touch, un be known to him that I was the florist she was looking for, fate does have a peculiar way of intervening. 

All of the planning took place via messenger and email, it is possible to do all of this remotely especially when the bride has a clear indication of what she wants.

The bridal bouquet was an amalgamation of two photos she sent me, the colours chosen by her. This beautiful bouquet has pale blue hydrangea, nigella, peach roses, and white scabious with senecio (silver) foliage.

The stems were bound in white lace

The bride also wore a lovely full flower crown to match her bouquet.

The 9, yes nine, bridesmaids each carried a single head of hydrangea surrounded by a cloud of gyp, the stems were bound in hessian.

All bouquets together

The bouquets boxed and ready for delivery.

The buttonholes were split. We had 4 peach and white, rose, hydrangea florets, gyp and silver leaf

and 11 white buttonholes of scabious, hydrangea florets and leaf.

All the buttonholes were made the natural style with stems bound with twine.

We also provided thank you bouquets, two large

and two smaller. In the same flowers/colours as the bridal party.

All of these were delivered to the bridal venue a few hours before the ceremony time. A relaxed day where the whole bridal party were in the venue grounds having hair and make up done as it was so warm and lovely outside.

If you love these designs, are having these colours or simply want to discuss your wedding flower style, please get in touch to book a consultation. Or if like this bride you are unable to meet in person, we can swap messenger or emails to plan your perfect flowers.
