Hemswell Court burgundy fish bowls

Comment   

The reception of the wedding from yesterday's post (here) was held at the fabulous Hemswell Court. The bride wanted to continue the theme of the flowers through the designs but wanted to keep them compact on the table. Fish bowls (these are 10" bowls) were decided on and as it was a winter wedding candles added.

We used roses, calla lily, dahlia and thistles with eucalyptus foliage within the bowl on most of the guest tables.

The bridesmaid bouquets were also utilised for the top table, a round table, and for the main family table. These would be placed in the fish bowl as below for a larger, fuller display. Bear grass and crystal glass rocks were added to the bowl for extra interest.

Using your bridesmaid flowers on the tables can help with budgeting and they do have to go somewhere while the reception takes place so make the most of them. We have more options to double up on flower designs to save you money.

The wedding breakfast of G and J was held at Saxby All Saints Hall. A place we had not visited before, but what a beautiful setting. A marquee was erected on the front lawn for the celebrations and we had been asked to provide decorations both inside and outside to lead the way.

(To see the bridal party flowers for this wedding click here and to see the church flowers click here)

From the carpark we placed oak logs and a branch or two with lanterns, fork and wedding sign. Alongside these were two oversized watering cans filled with sunflowers, sol, gyp and chrysants.

At the entrance to the marquee we had more logs and lanterns, both candle and fairy lights, with two old crates and LOVE sign and to top it all off a baby watering can filled with flowers. Sunflowers were dotted around the displays to add a splash of colour.

The crates and watering can display

On the inside of the marquee entrance we placed more logs and lanterns, candle and fairy lights, to mark the entrance when it got dark.

The top table was decorated with up turned glasses, wine, cocktail, martini and sundae, each with a candle on top and small sunflower underneath. We also placed sprigs of gyp between the glasses and each glass had yellow ribbon attached.

At each end of the top table we had yet more logs, rustic large and small lanterns with sunflower head, gyp and corn decoration.

Top table display

The guest tables were small zinc watering cans filled with sunflowers, yellow sunny santini chrysants gyp and twigs. These were placed on log slices and either had small butterfly lanterns or tea lights.

(The tables were still being set by the catering staff)

These make excellent displays for a country style wedding and also add a splash of colour in a marquee.

All go the logs, lanterns, fairy lights, sign and glasses can be hired from us. Whether you are having flowers from us or not we have a lot of items available to hire. Let us know what props you are looking for, if we don't have it we may know companies which do, always happy to pass on to others where we can.

Are you having a marquee wedding reception? They are great as a blank canvass and can work with any style or colour of flowers. This was a pink based wedding we styled Here

Ask us to show you more set ups in marquees when you come along for a consultation to discuss your flowers. Book an appointment today and start your wedding flower journey with us.
