The Old Palace, Lincoln

Susie's wedding reception was held in the stunning Old Palace. A favourite venue of mine, hidden away behind the Cathedral it is not very well known but getting more popular as time goes on.
Susie and her mum had thought about doing their own table centres and had already gathered the kilner jars and ceramic jugs for this purpose. They did decide though, after talking to me, that it would be much easier, and less stressful, if they handed them all to me to fill and set up. They did add the bows to all the designs in readiness of the flowers.

All the vases were to be filled with the same mix of flowers as the brides bouquet with delphiniums added to create some height.

The flower mix was Forget me nots, muscari, Hydrangea, Scillia (bluebells), spray roses with fountain grass.

On the top table we had two smaller ceramic jugs

and two larger ones.

The fabulous fire place was also given a couple of kilner jars and candles.

The cake was beautiful. Quite simple in design but with the blue ribbon and the mixed posy on top it really looked stunning.
The cake table was also decorated with muscari bunches to add extra colour.

The landing outside the room had a table full of family photos and the guest book and as we had a spare jar and forget me nots and muscari left these were added on to the table.

Pink and Ivory candelabra

 Lisa and Rick came to me through Bernadette from Lincolnshire lanterns. They had decided they wanted her lovely silver candelabras on their tables and asked me to decorate them. The colour scheme for their wedding was baby pink and ivory, and Lisa loves gerberas and wanted roses featured as they were to be included in her bouquet. This, and the other bridal party flowers, were being made by a florist friend of the couple. We compromised on the flowers, as the candelabra are small and we didn't want to swamp them, we decided on baby pink germini and ivory spray roses.

 I was also asked to provide a simple mantelpiece arrangement to compliment the table flowers.

 Lisa and Rick's reception was held at The Old Palace which is a stunning venue, with a fantastic view over the city out of one side and the magnificent cathedral out the other.

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.
