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 brides eye view down the aisle.

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.

J & L held their ceremony in the wonderful Holy Trinity Church Spilsby. Not a church we have visited before and it was a wonderful experience setting up. Not only is it beautiful inside but the band were warming up and rehearsing so we got a full rendition of some of the numbers the guests would be singing along to!

The pew ends were dressed with a combination of flowers and bows.

The flowers were a mix from the bridal bouquet (Which you can view here), blush rose, gyp, astrantia, wax flower and Dusty Miller and tied together with a lovely satin blush bow.

The bows were lovely blush organza, which make a gorgeous full bow and tails.

The brides view down the aisle

and the grooms view up the aisle.

A very simple way to dress your church but it does add a touch of your style and gives your guests a taste of what is to come. 

These can also be taken away and used at your venue as chair back decorations or to hang on doors etc.

If you are having a church service, ask us how we can evolve your bouquet style to the church and dress your pews and possibly more.

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.
