Hemswell Court wedding flowers

Hemswell Court wedding flowers

Comment   

Today we start a series of looking at different wedding venues, the more popular ones we have set up at over the years.

We start with the stunning Hemswell Court.

One of my closest venues and an absolute dream to set up at. You always know a great  venue when the staff will do all they can to help suppliers and make our job of setting up your flowers as easy as is possible.

The ceremony room is a warm and homely setting with this lovely table as the focus of the room. Whether you dress it with a long and low

or a posy you have a fantastic setting for saying 'I Do'.

The dining room is a lovely setting for an intimate do, gorgeous tables and chairs that don't need much else other than a few flowers to bring in your colour and style for the day.

These cute pot displays can be created in  your colours and are just the right size for the dining tables.

(Look familiar? This set up is on Hemswell Court's website homepage under Banqueting and on the Dining room page)

So to the main room for receptions, the Primrose Room.

The top table is usually a lovely large oval table, do bear this in mind when thinking of your flower display. There is quite a large area to fill, larger than most top tables so a fuller display or extra items may be needed.

For example this bride had a long and low and added two lily vases of roses at each end.

Or go with a fuller display with tea lights

With the room having such a high ceiling the tables can take tall designs, or a mixture of high and low if you have enough tables.

This royal blue set up may not be everyone's cup of tea but it is a striking effect.

Royal  blue roses in a tall lily vase, blue stones in the base too.

On other tables we placed a double fishbowl design with blue stones and ivory roses

All colours look gorgeous in here so the opposite of blue is burgundy, low fish bowls filled with burgundy flowers and a candle

or go brighter with stunning reds and tall martini vases with gerberas and roses

This was a Christmas wedding and went fabulously with the red decorations of the venue.

More of a pastel type of gal? Country style birdcages filled with a mix of pastel seasonal flowers.

Purple and yellow perhaps? Keep it simple with callas in a fish bowl to match the chair sashes.

Or go primrose with your flowers, roses in a lily vase to match the decor.

A brighter purple, this time September daisy and eustoma in lily vases

Or a mix of high and lows with purple filled martini vases of delphinium, carnations, chyrsants, alstroemeria, and foliage

with the low designs a glass cube with a mix from the bridal bouquet of orchids, roses, alstroemeria, and foliage.

The room ready and waiting for the happy couple.

Perhaps peach is more your colours?

Martini vases again but filled with lilies, alstroemeria, berries, stocks and more.

Jam jars can be used on their own or to compliment the taller displays.

Not a fan of the taller designs? What about these lovely low centrepieces of a fern plant, jam jar of flowers and a candle on a wood slice.

If you are getting married at Hemswell Court and would like to discuss your flowers, book a consultation with us to talk through your ideas. We are happy to meet here at The Studio or if you are having a viewing at the venue we can meet you there, just mention it to them beforehand.

Hemswell Court seasonal Christmas wedding

The wedding of yesterday's post (here) was held at the fabulous Hemswell Court.

The venue was all ready decked out for Christmas and fortunately they had gone for a red and green theme, so all designs worked well together.

On the tables half were 60cm martini vases and the others were large hurricane vases.

The tall martini vases had an assortment of gerbera, roses, berries and amaryllis with lots of seasonal foliage. We were asked not to add too much over the vase and nothing trailing to keep the tables clean and free for the food to be served.

The large silver based hurricane vases had a large central candle surrounded by a layer of seasonal foliage, holly, spruce, ditto and red berries for a splash of colour.

The ceremony display was a long and low compact design of gerbera, roses and berries with mixed seasonal foliage and this would later be transferred across to the top table for the wedding breakfast.

This venue looks fabulous at any time of year, but the decorations they have at Christmas makes it truly magical.

If you are getting married here and would like to discuss your flowers or if you love gerbera and want to get together on how we can style them to your day please get in touch

to discuss availability in the first instance.

For more inspiration look at labels on the right and scroll for 'Gerbera' or for Venue:Hemswell Court.

Another fabulous wedding here with martini vases is here

All vases were hired from us, we set up on the day and arrive to collect the next morning (where possible) so you don't have any worries on getting items back to us at The Studio

The reception of the wedding from yesterday's post (here) was held at the fabulous Hemswell Court. The bride wanted to continue the theme of the flowers through the designs but wanted to keep them compact on the table. Fish bowls (these are 10" bowls) were decided on and as it was a winter wedding candles added.

We used roses, calla lily, dahlia and thistles with eucalyptus foliage within the bowl on most of the guest tables.

The bridesmaid bouquets were also utilised for the top table, a round table, and for the main family table. These would be placed in the fish bowl as below for a larger, fuller display. Bear grass and crystal glass rocks were added to the bowl for extra interest.

Are you getting married at Hemswell court or do you love these fish bowls? Ask us how we can style your day to totally personalise it to you and your future husband.

A couple of weddings we have styled at Hemswell Court are Here and here for more go to labels on the right and scroll to Venue:Hemswell court.

Using your bridesmaid flowers on the tables can help with budgeting and they do have to go somewhere while the reception takes place so make the most of them. We have more options to double up on flower designs to save you money.

Take that first step and book a consultation today to start your wedding flower planning journey.

Hemswell Court was the setting of this wedding ceremony and reception. A fabulous venue and possibly my closest one, always a pleasure to set up here. The whole place is lovely from the setting to all the staff, making it so easy for delivery on the day.

The registrars table was adorned with a long and low which would later be transferred to the top table. This was filled with a mix of garden, standard and spray roses, dahlias, gyp and mixed foliage.

At the entrance the couple had a variety of displays.

The guest table plan had a lovely display of roses and dahlias with trailing fern, jasmine and passiflora foliage.

The same type of display went on the step ladder display

and the lovely story board display.

The guest tables each had a large birdcage filled with gorgeous blooms as before.

The display was contained mostly within the cage but had a few strands escaping to add to the natural feel of the day.

A lot of the roses were scented and the room was soon filled with the most gorgeous scent to add another dimension to the day.

We also scattered fresh rose petals on each table

We also provided two thank you hand ties to be presented at the speeches. We recommend this type as they are in water so keep fresh through the day but also saves the recipients having to condition them and find vases once home.

If you are getting married at Hemswell Court or other similar venue or just love the designs please get in touch to see if we are available to create your displays for your wedding.

We have just attended Hemswell Court's first (own set up) wedding fair and have styled flowers at this venue on many occasions.
