Wedding flowers at The Mount Pleasant Hotel Bawtry

Wedding flowers at The Mount Pleasant Hotel Bawtry

Comment   

This is the fabulous reception set up of A and O at The Mount Pleasant Hotel at Bawtry.

The displays alternated between high, candelabras, and low, pumpkin vases.

Our candelabras are 100cm tall and theses were displayed with long taper candles.

The display was a flower ball between the arms allowing for 5 candles and the gorgeous flowers used were roses and carnations in both pale pink and champagne with mixed foliage.

They were sat on large round mirrors.

The low displays were a couple of silver pumpkin vases with pink roses and carnations with champagne roses and wax flower.

These make really cute table centrepieces for your guests.

The top table had a long and low design

filled with scrumptious flowers as the bride's bouquet (here) such as roses, wax flower, spray roses and eustoma.

Unfortunately we arrived at the same time as the lovely ladies from the chair cover company and didn't get to see the room completely dressed.

Thank you hand ties were also provided for presentation during the speeches.

If anyone has any doubts about the way we transport flowers to the venues I took these shots on loading the van up for this wedding.

I may get odd looks from having such a large van BUT on occasions such as this wedding it is so easy to load, transport and unload with flowers in order of need.

Church flowers at the front, bridal designs next with buttonholes and reception flowers at the rear and plenty of room left for a larger set up.

On this occasion I had a helper and after the whole set up was complete we stopped off for a coffee and gingerbread man, a small treat after a busy morning.

If you are getting married at The Mount Pleasant Hotel or love any of the designs above do get in touch to see how we can transform your venue with flowers.

All the candelabras and vases were hired from us and part of our care and service is to collect all of these items the next day, working with the hotel, so you don't have to worry. All sorted, generally, before breakfast.

I look forward to hearing from you

This is the lovely St Joseph's Church and Retford which was the setting for A and O's wedding a few weeks ago.

Continuing with the colours of pink and champagne (see bridal party flowers here) we created displays for the Altar and pews.

The Altar display was a front facing traditional style display of pink and champagne roses, cream stocks, carnations and wax flower.

We also created a traditional style church pedestal of a similar mix of flowers.

The pew ends were made up of a pink and champagne rose with pink spray roses and foliage. These were tied together with a small organza bow.

The pew displays were alternated with flowers and bows

A rare action shot of me as I had a helper on the day!

All these flowers were taken out of church and taken to the reception to be reused and displayed to the full.

If you are having a church ceremony please get in touch to see how we can style flowers to suit your theme/colours.

We work closely with the church and will sort all the delivery/set up direct with them so you don't have to.

Today we take a look at this gorgeous wedding of the lovely A and O from a few weeks ago in April.

The colour scheme was pink and champagne with roses, peony, wax flower and carnations.

We used a combination of roses, bombastic spray, garden and standard and along with the peony and wax flower the scent was divine.

The 4 bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the brides with more pink to stand out from their champagne dresses.

The stems were tied with blush organza.

The groomsmen wore a classic style buttonhole of a champagne rose with asparagus fern.

(This was the page boys mounted on to a safety pin)

The buttonholes and corsages on their presentation boards all ready for delivery.

The ladies wore a traditional style corsage in a mix of flowers from the bridal bouquet

All boxed up and ready for presentation to the bride.

One of the garden rose blooms that is filled with petals and packs a punch with scent.

Pink weddings are always a popular choice and peonies in particular are very popular. (Their season is from April to July)

If you love this style and would like to talk flowers then please get in touch in the first instance with your wedding date to check availability.

I look forward to hearing from you soon
