Wedding flowers at DoubleTree by Hilton

Wedding flowers at DoubleTree by Hilton

Comment   

Our feature venue today is the hotel venue DoubleTree By Hilton.

We have dressed and styled this venue many times over the years with all sorts of designs and love to turn this space into one that you will love.

Ceremony table of small hurricane vases with a rose and gyp connected with entwined foliage.

Butterfly lanterns finish the style. All can  be transferred to your top table for the wedding breakfast.

Our gorgeous mercury vases look stunning on the tables, this was an autumn styled set up.

With the top table styled with lots of seasonal foliage, roses, carnations and other seasonal blooms.

The height of the Cathedral room makes our crystal chimney candelabras an excellent choose for you guest tables. Dressed here with entwined foliage and a rose hanging from each arm.

If green is your theme, we have lovely green pots which we can fill with your choice of blooms. Here are green anastasia chrysants, protea and button santini and foliage.

These also look beautiful as an addition to the bar.

Keeping the same flowers, a lower design for the top table.

For some height to your designs, how about our lily vases with a small flower ball? These gorgeous designs were roses and freesia and teamed with low posies add interest to draw your eye through the room.

Pale pink, dusky pink and ivory roses with freesia and foliage.

Posies can also be placed on the top table if you don't like a large central design.

Another green look, although can be achieved in any colour, are our bird nest designs. Amongst a nest of vines sits a display of spring gorgeousness.

Another low design are our small posies, brilliant if budgets are tight or you want to give away as gifts to guests. These were for a red and yellow colour scheme, one of our more unusual colours but anything is possible.

Lily vases with cream lilies and lilac anastasia chrysants add a touch of colour to a lilac wedding reception.

Or the ever popular bird cages in lavender and peach. A self contained design on this occasion or can be created to trail further out of the cage.

Another popular design are our martini vases. We have many sizes, this being 60cm. Large enough to take large blooms like sunflowers and more than suitable so not to be in guests way and hinder conversation.

Another 60cm martini vase filled this time with roses and gyp.

The flower display is yours to keep and is easily removed from the vase.

Use your table displays through your day, brighten up coffee tables while guests wait for the ceremony (above), or add on to your aisle to give a longer space and to pretty up the entrance.

Then move to the guest tables for your wedding breakfast displays.

Are you getting married at The DoubleTree by Hilton? Hopefully this has shown the varied work we can create for your wedding flowers. There is lots more choice which we can talk you through at a consultation. 

Are you getting married at a similar hotel venue? These rooms can be a little bland but with the right suppliers and flower designs we can transform the space to a beautiful styled room to wow your guests.

If you love what we create, get in touch and book a consultation so we can show you more ideas and talk you through your dreams and find a perfect match.

Purple wedding reception displays

Purple wedding reception displays

Comment   

Having blogged about colour in wedding bouquets (see purple designs here) and gone through the more popular colours, we now go through the same colours but for the reception designs. Mostly featuring table centrepieces for your guest tables.

Starting with purple again, we feature many types and styles of designs to bring ideas and inspiration for your planning.

One of my favourite low designs, a nest of vines with a display of lilacs and purples with lovely foliage. A lovely alternative spring display.

Bird cages are very popular with a country theme. These designs are encased within the cage (left) or just with a few trailing sprigs (right).

Or if you want more glamour, our black urns may be for you? Filled with gorgeous ivory roses with purple Vanda orchids for a splash of colour.

Our cylinder vases can be arranged in groups of 3 and have flowers of your choice. Here we have calla, agapanthus and rose.

Our gorgeous tall candelabras can be arranged with flowers in so many ways. This display is to suit a country garden style but still keeping the glamour of the crystal chimneys.

Or for total glamour style with a ball of roses, carnations, eustoma and foliage.

The top table will look stunning with a long and low of your chosen flowers

or we can work with the venue stylist if adding ribbons and swags to your table.

For a larger, deeper table other displays can be added either end like these lily vases with roses and bear grass.

Or with candelabras for a candle lit mood later in the evening.

You don't have to stick with just purple, and or white, add in another colour to brighten the theme.

Pedestals are not just for church. Use them for your civil ceremony and then move to your top table or cake table, or to greet guests as they arrive.

Wanting to keep tables simple? Fish bowls with floating flowers work well

or wrap them around the bowl, callas are perfect for this

Or fill the bowl with beautiful blooms and fairy lights.

Country crates are popular. This one is filled with flowers and herbs, adding a lovely aroma to the day.

Wanting tall designs without blowing the budget? Our lily vases can be filled with many flowers, here with purple September and eustoma.

We have martini vases go many heights. These are just the right height for your guest tables. A central delphinium spike surrounded with roses, carnations, astro and more.

To add mood lighting around your venue, our hurricane vases with tea lights can be hired and blooms added to them to suit your theme.

Or fill them with flowers to dot along your top table

Buckets can be filed with your favourite blooms too

Our small candelabras can be styled with gorgeous flowers and used at the main centrepiece

or for the top table alongside the taller ones for the guest tables.

Don't forget the humble posy. These have their place, either as centrepieces in their own right or to jazz up the outer bar area as here at The Dower Hotel.

And last but certainly not least, the jam jar. An ever popular favourite. Here there is one jar filled with flowers and foliage, teamed with a fern plant and a tea light.

Whatever and however you want your reception styled, we can provide expert advice and on the day set up. We also clear down if our vases are used and hired, early the next morning, while you enjoy your breakfast usually.

We have many many more ideas, but these are perfect for a purple theme. If you are having other colours, they can all be tailored to that too, just ask for more options.

I hope this has given you inspiration and if you would like to talk through your flower displays with us please book an appointment. Either email/ring or you can now book online.
