Hemswell Court Wedding reception

Hemswell Court Wedding reception

Comment   

Vikki and her groom held their wedding at Hemswell Court Hotel. This is one of my nearest venues and it is such a lovely place it is always a pleasure setting up here. 

The long and low design of the same flowers as the bridal bouquet (to see that click here), lily, orchids, alstroemeria, veronica and mixed foliage is placed on the ceremony table.

and later on moved across to the top table for the wedding breakfast.

(Always reuse flowers for each part of the day if you can, this will help your budget!)

Hemswell top table is a large oval table and as such can take a design of some depth.

(All lily stamens are removed from all flowers as they open. No pollen will stain)

The guest tables each had a 60cm martini vase as the central design and small jam jars of flowers at the base.

The jars held a variety of flowers including stocks, berries, veronica, stallion chrysants, alstroemeria and ferns.

The martini vases were a combination of lily, alstroemeria, berries, stocks and stallion chrysants.

Tea lights were added amongst the flowers too

The large design sits in it's own dishes so you can keep the flowers after the day and we can collect our hired vases back. This is done as early as possible the next day to minimise any problems. I have to say though there are very rarely any at this venue as they look after everything so well.

The Primrose room ready and waiting for the happy couple.

(Chairs are brought in from the ceremony room after the service)

If you are getting married at this stunning venue and are looking for a local florist then please get in touch. We can meet up here at The Studio or if you are having a venue meeting I can meet you there to suit everyone.

We also hire out all vases etc for you to DIY. Ask us for prices and sizes.

Comment   

When I first met Vikki she knew what she didn't want in her flowers, roses. They had become so popular that she felt she wanted something else for their special day. We talked through likes and dislikes and came up with orchids and lilies. Now I had not put these together before but anything is worth looking at. Vicki liked a shower bouquet I had created previously but wanted it to reflect her colours, coral, peach and white. This is the combination that came out of that discussion:

White phalaenopsis orchids with peach asiatic lily, berries, eustoma, and stocks and a darker alstroemeria and white veronica. Fern, ivy and cuscus were added for the foliage.

The single bridesmaid carried a posy with a small mix of the brides flowers, all bound together with complimentary satin ribbon.

One of the mum's carried a lovely clutch bag with a beautiful corsage attached of orchid, eustoma, veronica and berries.

The groom wore a tied boutonnier of eustoma, alstroemeria, veronica and berries

The other mum wore a lapel corsage of an orchid, eustoma, veronica and berries

The rest of the bridal party wore a buttonhole of veronica, berries and foliage.

Part 2 is tomorrow of the wedding breakfast at Hemswell Court.

If you are looking for wedding flowers and would like something other than the 'normal' flower combinations do get in touch. We are happy to go with your ideas and will try anything together and see if it works. We always remember it is your day and not ours. We will guide you and if something doesn't work we will tell you but we are always open to new ideas and combinations.

This wedding was a real pleasure to work on throughout.

Get in touch today if you would like to talk through your wedding flower plans.
