Wedding reception flowers at The Venue Navenby

Comment   

The wonderful reception of S&R's wedding was held in the lovely The Venue at Navenby. A place we hadn't set up at before but it is a lovely light space that can be dressed to suit your style. Roger who was our contact, was full of ideas that could be used to personalise the space. If you are looking for a venue that is large, seats up to 175, more than most Lincoln venues, and has great space outside, especially if lots of children are attending, then do check it out.

To the flowers;

We were honoured to take this wedding on, a superb colour mix and from previous posts here and here, excellent flowers and designs.

The bride knew more or less what she wanted and it was up to us to create these designs.

The top table wanted to be a long and low, without trailing but a country mix of flowers and foliage to suit the bouquets. 

At either end we placed a small candelabra on a mirror. 

We also placed bay trees around the venue and the two pedestals from the church were being brought up to stand behind the table.

The lovely top table display

Our bay trees with the other wonderful decorations which are by Emma Louise at Elegant Touches, always a pleasure to work alongside this lady.

Our small candelabras adorned the guest tables, again in ivory, yellow and purple with lots of herbs and scented foliage. When the candles are lit and the room is warm these really will fill the air with sweet scent.

Mirrors and candelabras can be hired with or without flowers.

The room is a large space waiting to be filled with your designs and ideas.

Bay trees and candelabras to enhance your guests enjoyment of your wedding day.

All displays are set up for you on the wedding morning and all hired items are dismantled and collected the following day, in conjunction with the venue staff. All included within any quote given. Saving you or your guests hassle in getting items back to us.

If you are holding your wedding reception (or any event) here please do get in touch to ask us how you could style the space.

If you love the designs and are getting wed elsewhere, ask us for a quote to deliver and set up your requirements.

St Peter at Eastgate Church wedding flowers

St Peter at Eastgate Church wedding flowers

Comment   

Today we take a look at the beautiful church wedding of S & R.

They were married at the beautiful and busy St Peter at Eastgate church. 

We were asked to provide flowers for the entrance including flowers for the gate and archway swell as designs for inside

We tied a couple of 'pew end' style bunches to the metal gate so when opened they hung close to the stone pillars.

The archway was hung delicately to the outside of the recess as fixings allowed. Our beautiful bay trees stood proudly either side the doorway to welcome guests to the ceremony.

It started to rain as we were setting up, always good when up a ladder, but once finished the sun came out (typical) and stayed fine and dry for the rest of the day.

Guests first look at the style of the day.

The beautiful archway was 10 gorgeous blousy ivory roses set amongst ruscus and passiflora foliage with a large organza bow central top.

Beautiful roses and an odd passiflora flower.

The gate flowers of eustoma, freesia, roses and herbs.

We also provided two traditional style pedestals, one for the back of the church

and one for the ceremony space at the front. 

Mostly in ivory and yellow with a hint of lilac to add to the purple theme of the day.

It is a while since I have set up in here and in that time the pews have been replaced with chairs. Sad but it does enable the church to hold different functions within it, and talking to the warden, it has been a really successful undertaking. 

Pew ends therefore are now on chairs. 

We grouped roses, freesia and sol amongst Myrtle, Rosemary, Pistachio and ferns. All tied together with a small organza bow.

On alternate chairs was a larger ivory organza bow.

The church smelt amazing when we left.

When you have an archway to do, help is required, and they insisted on taking all the photos while I set up and caught me in the act. So a rare action shot of me doing what I do!

The beautiful interior of tis amazing church.

Are you having a church wedding? Getting married in St Peter at Eastgate or another local church? We can style your flowers and aisle as you wish. We have many examples on here, just search labels - Church:.........

We are open to your ideas and love a challenge, we also are very aware of the fabric of the building and always seek permission to arrange anything to the actual building like archways.

We will happily discuss your designs with the vicar or wardens to talk through any fears they may have.

Please get in touch to discuss your church flower styling today

Last Saturday was the wedding of S & R. This was a last minute wedding after their original supplier pulled out. S rang me and talked through her immediate disappointment and asked if I could help her out. The date was available and we booked an appointment to go through all her options. She more or less booked then and there and was more than happy with the process and quote thereafter.

I absolutely loved the colours! I love the pales and pastels but just occasionally a brighter more unusual colour comes in and it really helps keeps flowers interesting. (And I love love purple!)

Purples with yellow and ivory, lots of lovely freesia, purple eustoma, yellow sol and ivory roses, with a few David Austin Patience for an added punch of scent.

Lots of foliage was required including herbs. Pistachio, Myrtle, Rosemary and ferns were used in the bouquets.

The scent from all these bouquets was sensational. (Even for someone working with them all day.)

The four bridesmaids carried posies similar to the bride's bouquet but without the purple eustoma.

The groom wore a natural style buttonhole with yellow freesia, sol, purple eustoma and ivory spray roses, with myrtle and thyme and Rosemary.

His best man wore a similar design

while the other groomsmen wore a single eustoma bloom with sol and a mix of herb foliage.

The Mother of the Bride wore a gorgeous corsage of a mix of flowers from the bride's bouquet including a lush David Austin rose and ivy foliage.

The Mother of the Groom wore a slightly different design of the smaller flowers, herbs and fern.

The other special guests were presented with a single ivory rose with gyp and twine bound stems.

We always deliver the buttonholes and corsages on presentation boards and can, if requested, label them all so the right design goes ton the right person. Remember you won't be there, or are busy getting ready, make life easy for your guests and you won't be bothered with the small stuff.

Our bouquets for the bridal party are laid in boxes filled with stuffing, paper and a final layer of acid free tissue paper.

Do you love these bouquets? Want this colour combination or another unusual theme? We can help out. Your colours, your day. Don't let anyone say a combination can't/shouldn't be created. Your personality should shine out and if you are a bright person your colours shouldn't be pale and pastel!

I am happy to talk through any colour combos for your wedding. Get in touch today to start working towards your dream flowers.
