Hemswell Court burgundy fish bowls

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.

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.

On a cold and blustery November day we decorated this fabulous church in the next village to me, All Saint's at Ingham.

The wedding colour scheme was burgundy with hints of autumnal colours and white.

On the gate posts to welcome the guests were hung some seeded eucalyptus, cotinus, gyp and a few roses, tied on (tightly) with a pretty burgundy bow.

In the entrance is the font (a very small church) and on this we added a long and low type arrangement with roses, amaranths, gyp and carnations and mixed seasonal foliage.

The bride knew she wanted gyp on the pew ends but nothing too large as the aisle isn't very wide. We teamed this with seeded eucalyptus and tied on with burgundy satin ribbon.

At the altar stood a traditional style pedestal with burnt orange roses and gladioli, burgundy roses, amaranths, carnations and mixed seasonal foliage.

At the High altar stood another pedestal of the same flowers.

The view down the aisle towards the entrance.

The rest of the flowers were created by a family member, we are happy to take on all or some of your flowers to suit you. It is your day and we will not insist on being the only supplier, although do be careful if you want all displays to match as everyone creates items differently and some colours are described differently.

If you are having a church wedding ask us how we could style the space. This is a very small church as against this post last week which was huge. 

We can arrange a meeting to show you where best to put your displays and what needs and doesn't need decorating.
