DoubleTree by Hilton wedding displays

Comment   

Last year I attended the wedding fair of Doubletree by Hilton and was asked to provide flowers for their wedding ceremony and reception set up.

I worked in conjunction with Rachel at Event Exquisite Ltd with the colour schemes and style for each setting. (All the following chair covers are hers)

So the civil ceremony table was kept very simple with 4 small hurricane type vases filled with a single ivory rose and gyp. In between these I placed my small butterfly lanterns with tea lights and surrounding all of these was foliage vine trails to give a country style to the setting.

This look can be transferred to the top table afterwards

These floral chair covers were so pretty

The top table setting was along the coral and cream theme with a long and low display.

This had beautiful coral roses, cream carnations, roses and lots of lush country foliage

                                      

We decorated 4 round tables;

One had my stunning 100cm candelabras with the crystal chimney and pillar candles and foliage vine running along the arms and down the central stem

                       

Along with 4 hanging ivory roses for a very simple yet stunning display.

Another followed the top table theme with a silver mercury urn filled with green/pink hydrangea, coral and cream roses and calla lily

                                      

Another had a large bird cage filled with lilac sweetness, cream roses, carnations and lots of lovely foliage.

                        

Last but not least was a 60cm martini vase filled with lots of summery yellow flowers such as sunflowers, roses, chrysants and gyp. Trailing foliage and a wood slice add to the country style.

My stand at the fair with lots of loveliness to hire

One of which is my glorious large watering can which can be filled with flowers

and the lovely small crates, here, filled with summer flowers - hydrangea, roses, sweet peas and ammi.

If you are getting married at The Doubletree by Hilton or love any of these displays and want them for your day, do get in touch with your wedding date to discuss availability and to book a consultation.

All vases, crates etc can be hired both with or without flowers, so if you are looking to DIY your displays get in touch with what you need and quantities for a quote. Delivery and collection can be arranged for a small fee.

The wedding breakfast of G and J was held at Saxby All Saints Hall. A place we had not visited before, but what a beautiful setting. A marquee was erected on the front lawn for the celebrations and we had been asked to provide decorations both inside and outside to lead the way.

(To see the bridal party flowers for this wedding click here and to see the church flowers click here)

From the carpark we placed oak logs and a branch or two with lanterns, fork and wedding sign. Alongside these were two oversized watering cans filled with sunflowers, sol, gyp and chrysants.

At the entrance to the marquee we had more logs and lanterns, both candle and fairy lights, with two old crates and LOVE sign and to top it all off a baby watering can filled with flowers. Sunflowers were dotted around the displays to add a splash of colour.

The crates and watering can display

On the inside of the marquee entrance we placed more logs and lanterns, candle and fairy lights, to mark the entrance when it got dark.

The top table was decorated with up turned glasses, wine, cocktail, martini and sundae, each with a candle on top and small sunflower underneath. We also placed sprigs of gyp between the glasses and each glass had yellow ribbon attached.

Part of the top table design.

At each end of the top table we had yet more logs, rustic large and small lanterns with sunflower head, gyp and corn decoration.

The guest tables were small zinc watering cans filled with sunflowers, yellow sunny santini chrysants gyp and twigs. These were placed on log slices and either had small butterfly lanterns or tea lights.

(The tables were still being set by the catering staff)

These make excellent displays for a country style wedding and also add a splash of colour in a marquee.

All go the logs, lanterns, fairy lights, sign and glasses can be hired from us. Whether you are having flowers from us or not we have a lot of items available to hire. Let us know what props you are looking for, if we don't have it we may know companies which do, always happy to pass on to others where we can.

Are you having a marquee wedding reception? They are great as a blank canvass and can work with any style or colour of flowers. This was a pink based wedding we styled Here
