The Dower House Hotel setting of a gorgeous May wedding

Following on from yesterday's post (here) of the bridal flowers, today's post is a look at the venue flowers.
The Dower House Hotel is a fabulous place to hold a wedding and I love setting up here as the staff are all so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. It also helps that the whole place is set in fantastic surroundings, see these photos below. Who wouldn't love to get married in this space? If the weather is fine this could be where you say your vows!


The bride asked if we could decorate the arbour with a eucalyptus garland down the from two pillars as they were hoping for an outdoor ceremony.


It was quite overcast when setting up and the final decision hadn't been made but I believe they went ahead and chairs and decorations were brought out in time.


These pillars are great for decorating and look fabulous in the photos



The couple continued the foliage theme for their sweetheart table with another garland dripping off the ends and a few trailing whisps at the front.


If you cannot agree on who should be on the top table or have family issues then this is perfect. Just the two of you. Allows you to spend the meal catching your breath and relaxing together. 
Many couples say afterwards that they don't really get to chat together through the day with visiting family and friends to catch up with so this table for 2 allows you time and space to do just that.


We provided a vase for the bridal bouquet to sit in to add a pop of colour.


The guest tables were posies of the same flowers as the bridal bouquets placed in glass cubes.


The peonies would, hopefully, spring open in the heat of the venue.


The tables at The Dower House are always so well dressed. The mirrors were added by the venue as they just lift the designs once in situ.


I always love tables that use 'the less is more' attitude. Simple and classy and allows your guests room to move.



These flowers settle in the warm room and they started filling the space with their light scent, adding another dimension to your day.


These types of designs are great to double up as gifts for your very special guests. The flowers are tied together with ribbon so whether you hire or buy the vases the flowers can be given out at the end of the day.

The room eagerly awaiting the happy couple and their guests.


I always like to take a photo or two of the view from the top table, this gives you the bride (or groom) a chance to see what you will spend the afternoon looking at. After all it is your ideas, style and hard work that has gone into planning the event.



Are you getting married at The Dower House Hotel? I have set up here many times previously see here for one example or visit 'labels' - Venue:The Dower House Hotel for more.
Having worked here previously I know what works and what doesn't and am happy to advise you on your styling and flowers so you get the most from your ideas for the day.

Or if you like these designs but are getting wed elsewhere, get in touch so we can discuss your options in more detail.

I look forward to hearing from you soon

Gorgeous bridal bouquets with orchid, peony and anemone

These are the gorgeous flowers from Christina's wedding in early May.
On meeting Christina had a fairly good idea of the flowers and design she wanted to create but wanted confirmation on availability. We had to switch one variety but all others were in season.
The bouquets were to be lots of foliage, eucalyptus and senecio to give a silvery look and the flowers were to be neutral, creams and white with a pop of colour with the peony.


We used cymbidium orchids, peony, eustoma and anemone.


All the bouquets had the same flower and foliage content with the bridesmaids being smaller in size.






Brides bouquet centre with the bridesmaids either side.


The flower girl carried a silver heart shaped wand with a single cymbidium orchid and foliage detail





The groom wore a double buttonhole of a single cymbidium flower and an anemone with eucalyptus and senecio foliage.


The mums wore a double orchid buttonhole with foliage


The groomsmen wore a single buttonhole of an anemone flower and eucalyptus foliage. All buttonholes had navy blue wire wrapped around the stems to compliment the suits.



If you love these designs or have a design in mind with similar flowers do book a consultation to discuss how we can help you achieve your flower creations.
Alternatively if you have no clue where to start we can help and advise you on a full array of designs to help you to narrow down the choice and colours for your special day.

We look forward to hearing from you soon

Burgundy bridal party flowers

This was a fabulous wedding from last November, the bride met me at one off the wedding fayres I exhibited at earlier in the year. She was quite specific on all aspects of the day, from colour, flowers used and style and hopefully we got there with these lovely displays.

The bride's bouquet was an overarm hand tie design, quite heavy with the flowers used but looked lovely when held. The flat bouquet doesn't necessarily do it justice.
Included were cymbidium orchids, lilies, calla lily, roses, thistle, dahlia and gunnii eucalyptus.



The roses had diamante pins to add a little sparkle.




The bridesmaid bouquets were of roses, calla lily, thistles and dahlia with eucalyptus.


All bouquets were tied together with a large silver bow.


The two flower girls carried a single rose with a diamante pin and ribbon covering the whole stem and a bow with trails for decoration.


The buttonholes were kept really simple, with a dahlia flower and couple of sprigs of eucalyptus.




The brides flowers all ready for presentation at the venue.
We always present the flowers to the bride that way we know we have got the designs right for her vision.


If you love these colours or style and would like to discuss how we can recreate this to suit your day then get in touch to book a consultation with me either here at the studio, at your venue or somewhere else convenient to suit you.
