The Old Palace, Lincoln

Rachel and Mark's Wedding reception was held in the Kings Room at The Old Palace Lincoln. Situated near the Cathedral it is a relatively new reception venue.

Rachel wanted classic but simple arrangements so as not to overpower the lovely set up of the room. The top table is situated along the back wall allowing views through the large windows which overlook Lincoln.

The top table design was a long and low incorporating aspidistra leaves and baby blue eucalyptus with white calla lilies,gerberas, akito roses and eustoma.
But with the height of the ceiling tall arrangements work best. Medium black vases were chosen to hold a display of white calla lilies and gerberas with aspidistra leaves and bear grass.
The massive fire surround had a black vase either side of 5 white gerberas and bear grass.
The King Room fully dressed awaiting the bride and groom.

Rachel had asked about flowers for her cake and had seen a design she particularly liked. We altered it slightly to tie in with her flowers. White akito roses and eucalyptus formed a spray on the middle and bottom tier with a length of eucalyptus joining each tier.
We also made two Thank you hand-ties of oriental lilies, gerberas and eucalyptus to be presented with the speeches.

Ivory and Turquoise wedding

Alison's wedding from 21 March at The Lincoln Hotel.
The theme was ivory and turquoise and as this is difficult to match with flowers, feathers were used.
The brides bouquet was a hand-tie posy of fresh ivory germini and roses with turquoise feathers through the flowers to tone in with the bridesmaids dresses.
The bridesmaids had artificial gerbera hand-tie posies with turquoise feathers forming a collar of colour. There was 2 adult bridesmaids, who had larger bouquets, and 4 smaller bridesmaids.

The male buttonholes were a single rose with feathers as backing and the ladies had a rose and freesia corsage again with added feathers.

The wedding was at The Lincoln Hotel but unfortunately it was on the same day as the Lincoln 10KM run and so entrance to the venue was tricky. To those of you unfamiliar with the route it goes right by the venue and all roads in the area are closed from around 9am -noon at the earliest. The wedding was at 1pm. We decided that leaving set up untill after the race was cutting it fine, with guests having to arrive aswell, so we arranged with the venue to take all table centres and registrars table arrangement up before it started leaving them to place on the tables once they had breakfast out of the way.

The guest table centres were a square lily vase with 3 ivory gerberas and bear grass.

The registrars table was a long and low of gerberas, roses, freesia and other ivory filler flowers with plenty of turquoise feathers in. This photo has gone missing.

As we were early delivering I don't have a photo of the room set up.

Apparently all went well on the day and everyone got there on time with no delays because of the race.
