Country style flowers at The Dower House Hotel

I was lucky to set up at the fabulous Dower House Hotel two weeks running as C & A held their wedding reception here following on from this one last week.

The table centrepieces were in keeping with the bridal bouquets of a mix of country style flowers. These were made into posies and placed in our plain hurricane vases which were decorated with pretty blue ribbon.

To finish off the country look the jars were placed on our log slices. These worked really well with the lovely moss numbers for the tables.

The Dower House really is versatile, so many styles work well within this hotel and each set up we do is individual to the couple.

The flowers used were ammi, eustoma, carnations, santini chrysants, nigella, alstroemeria and gyp with some eucalyptus foliage.

This was an early wedding, ceremony 11.30 am (at Church) and as such our early delivery of the bridal bouquets and quick set up in church meant for once the hotel hadn't quite turned the room around from breakfast. The guest tables were ready but not the top table but as lovely as ever the staff offered to put the 3 vases on the table once they were ready. It is little touches like this which 

makes setting up here so lovely.

This photo shows the designs from above so you can see the variety of flowers within.

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 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

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
