G & J were married at St May's church in Broughton.

We provided a large pedestal for the altar of mainly sunflowers with sunny daisy santini chrysants, sol and gyp. Mixed seasonal foliage completed the design.

The pew ends were treated to bunches of gyp tied up with a yellow bow, these were hung on alternate rows full way down the aisle.

This is only a small set up in church but does it add to the occasion and sets the tone of the bridal flowers and of the reception decorations.

We set all flowers up (where absolute possible) on the wedding morning, so this was a bright early start at church. We arrange direct with the church warden again, where possible, and always ask for a key holders contact number for any difficulties on the day. We do not want to worry you if someone fails to open up for us, we can deal direct and it all appears seamless to you. That is one way we help you achieve stress free planning. We know when and where and what we need to do and can answer any questions your church warden may ask about the set up, again, making the whole process much easier for all.

If you are having a church ceremony and would like to discuss how we could style your flowers then please get in touch today to book a consultation.

Comment   

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.

St Andrew's Church Kirton In Lindsey wedding flowers

St Andrew's Church Kirton In Lindsey wedding flowers

Comment   

Debra and Matt held their wedding ceremony at the beautiful St Andrew's Church in Kirton In Lindsey, Lincolnshire.

(To see the bouquets and buttonholes click here)

This is a modern church, having taken away the pews and replaced with chairs, meaning they can hold other more social events within the church itself.

When I first went to have a look around, the entire church was in upheaval having the floor replaced, a slight concern for all involved but as promised it was all done for the wedding.

This is quite a large church and so it was decided to have 3 pedestals. 2 for the altar and one for the entrance to greet guests on arrival.

The pedestals continued the pink and ivory colour scheme. Debra had specified using lilies within the larger designs and these were teamed with pink alstroemeria, ivory roses, salmon chrysants and gyp.

The altar through to High altar

The 'pew' ends were salmon pink lily with eucalyptus tied on the chairs with an ivory bow.

We alternated down the aisle with flowers and bows on alternate rows.

Dressing the church can be as full or as simple as you like. I know many couples who prefer not to spend money on designs here as you are not in there long BUT it is the main part of the day - This is where you say your vows - so a few select designs are appropriate. 

All these designs were taken back to the venue for display at the wedding breakfast. Using them at both parts of the day can help with your budget and you get to keep (or give away to guests) after the day is over. Make use of all designs as much as possible.

When setting up at church I am happy to contact the warden and arrange direct with them times etc saving you a job and making it as stress free as possible. Flowers are set up on the wedding morning where possible so flowers are as fresh as possible for the service.

If you are having a church wedding please get in touch to see how we can help you achieve your desired designs in a relaxed and hassle free way.

Please look on the menu on the right for Churches: (list of some churches we have decorated)

I look forward to hearing from you soon

Elsham Hall blue summer wedding ceremony and reception

Elsham Hall blue summer wedding ceremony and reception

Comment   

Lucy and Robin had chosen Elsham Hall as their wedding ceremony and reception venue.

This is a lovely barn and each set up I have done here always looks unique, Elaine and her team always go above and beyond for each couple.

(To see the bridal party flowers click here)

The ceremony table was given variety of small jars of flowers which would later be transferred to the top table.

Framing the table were two traditional style pedestals with a fabulous mix of blue and ivory flowers, including the stunning hydrangeas.

The registrars desk was also given a selection of pretty jars.

These pedestals are on our metal stands (hired) and the display is designed within a dish for ease of transporting AND so they can be kept by the couple after the day is over.

Within the barn are these lovely radiator covers, what better way than to dot the mixed jam jars around your guests before moving them onto the tables as your centrepieces.

Make as much use out of your displays as possible and double up where you can.

These lovely jars were decorated by Lucy and filled by us with an array of summer loveliness. Blue hydrangea, thistle, gentiana, ivory roses, spray roses and dahlia.

They would later be grouped together and displayed on to the guest tables when the room has a turn around during the photos.

Jars waiting to be packed and delivered at The Studio.

We also supplied thank you flowers for presentation during the speeches.

If you like any of these designs, are getting married at Elsham Hall or a similar barn space please get in touch to see how we can transform the space to your style and colours.

To see other set ups at Elsham Hall please click here and for more options go to the right side - labels - and scroll down to Venue: Elsham Hall

We would love to hear your plans for your day and how we can help you achieve hassle free planning for the flower part of the day.

Comment   

Claire and her groom were married at All Saints Church at Branston.

(To see the bouquets click here)

This was the first time we have decorated this church and what a lovely space it is. So light and airy and although still having many traditional church features it felt very modern inside.

We placed two traditional style pedestals at the altar with a mix of flowers from the bridal bouquet, roses, gyp and eucalyptus along with eustoma, carnations and stallion chrsants and other mixed foliage.

Some of these flowers and foliage are scented which adds another dimension to the displays.

Still incorporating the ivory and blush colour scheme,

The stands were ours, hired, we have them in white too should you wish.

For ease of moving to the venue the display is in a self contained dish which sits in the pedestal. This also means that the displays can be kept/given as gifts after the day has ended and we can collect our stands.

The pew ends were lovely small white wicker heats, which the bride provided along with the gorgeous satin ribbon for hanging. We added on a blush pink and ivory rose with lace ribbon and hung them on alternative pews. 

Looking very effective against the dark wood

The aisle of All Saints Church Branston.

The ceremony space all set for the happy couple.

We also provided a lovely long and low display for the entrance but the vicar locked the door before I remembered to take a photo!! This was also transferred to the wedding breakfast for the top table display.

If you are having a church wedding, whether here at Branston or another church please get in touch to see how we could style the area in keeping with your bridal party flowers. We believe this is all part of the same set up and as such all displays should tone in together to create a beautiful space and memory for years to come.

We can decorate any church but please ask the vicar/warden before speaking to us as some churches prefer the ladies to provide the flowers. The earlier you mention you are speaking to a florist and keep them informed the easier the whole process is for all. 

We are always happy to speak direct to them to align any fears they have about the fabric of the building.

We have a large portfolio of many local churches we have had the pleasure in decorating for our happy couples.
