Wedding flowers at The Coach House Doddington Hall

Wedding flowers at The Coach House Doddington Hall

Comment   

Continuing our feature on local venues we take a closer look at our flower designs at the beautiful coach house at Doddington Hall.

The wedding ceremony that we dressed and styles was held in the coach house. The ceremony table was styled with a long garland style design to cover the front of the table.

It was filled with a beautiful array of pastel blooms including gerbera, roses, bouvardia, spray roses and lovely foliage.

This would later be transferred to the top table.

The beautiful chivari chairs on the aisle were dressed with our small hurricane vases filled with posies of daisies, hung with gorgeous satin ribbon which was tied with a bow.

For a more formal style wedding reception, on half the tables we styled glass cubes with calla lily, oriental lilies and curcumas,

and on the other half the low cylinder vases had a lovely display of oriental lilies and bear grass.

Not forgetting the coffee tables, with their own smaller take on the displays.

These are perfect as gifts for the significant members of your party.

If you prefer taller designs this pale pink and blue wedding was oh so pretty.

Our tall candelabras styled with taper candles, blue hydrangea and pink and white roses certainly add height to the designs

While on the other tables pretty flower balls stood atop our tall conical vases.

For a simpler style, jam jars with a single delphinium  and gyp may be more your look. 

Beautifully simple yet very effective.

Back to the country style, zinc jugs filled with beautiful mix of pastel blooms.

To jazz up a door way or corner we have bay trees to hire

or perhaps something more flowery and a pedestal filled with white and cream blooms.

Having welcome boards that just need a flowery touch? we can accommodate with a few blooms and lots of trailing foliage

Also make sure the sweet cart doesn't miss out.

The coach house is a beautiful space perfectly decorated so you can add your own style.

Are you getting married here, or at another similar location? We would love to hear your wedding plans and in particular your flowery dreams. Let us help you create your perfect displays - 

book a consultation and start the ball rolling today.

Happy planning

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 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.

Please get in touch to discuss your church flower styling today

Gyp wedding flowers

Gyp wedding flowers

Comment   

A lovely gyp wedding I had the honour of creating a couple of weeks ago. Another bride who I have never met! All consulting had been achieved over email, passing photos she liked and talking colours.

The bridal bouquet was gorgeous sweet avalanche roses interspersed through a cloud of gyp.

The two bridesmaids each carried a posy of cloud of gyp

the three lovely bouquets together.

The groomsmen buttonholes were also little posies of gyp.

The service was to be held at Buckminster church where alternate pews were decorated with more posies of gyp and long tailed organza bows.

Grooms eye view towards his brides entrance.

The lovely barn at Buckminster is a venue I hadn't visited before but is a gorgeous space for a wedding reception.

The bride had bought these vintage style jugs and asked me for gyp to fill them. Nothing regiment, just stems to fill.

The upstairs of the barn ready for the wedding breakfast

The stunning view from the barn from the large car park.

If you are looking for a small - medium sized venue to the south of our county then Buckminster Barn is worth looking at. Upstairs was set up for the reception but also has a downstairs room and plenty of space outside for fun and games which were also being set up whilst I was there.

If you want gyp for your wedding flowers and these have inspired you, please get in touch to book a consultation to get your flower planning journey started.

Look forward to hearing from you soon
