The Coach House, Doddington Hall

Johanna and Rich held their wedding breakfast at the gorgeous Coach House at Doddington Hall. It is a lovely light room which can be opened up into a courtyard garden to give more space.

We continued the lily theme through all the designs. As there were eleven tables including a round top table it was agreed that two styles of displays would break up the room.

The first was a cylinder vase filled with oriental lilies and bear grass. These were in high and low groupings so guests could still talk to each other.

The next was a design Johanna had seen at a function and asked if I could recreate in her flowers. These were in a glass cube with white curcuma, calla lilies, oriental lilies and roses.
In the arrival area we placed a modern pedestal in yellows and creams. Gladioli, roses, carnations, lilies and alstoemeria.
There is a seating area with a couple of coffee tables in here and not to be left out these had their own cube arrangements, in matching flowers.

The door way to the garden was treated to a pair of bay trees adorned with ivory roses.

St Peter-at-Gowts

St Peter-at-Gowts church was the venue for Zoey's wedding on Saturday. We were asked to use flowers to match her colours, blue and white, and to use roses on the pew ends, but other than that it was up to us.

For the pedestal we used some gorgeous blue delphiniums and agapanthus and white carnations, alstoemeria, chrysants and gyp with various foliage.
The aisle was dressed to halfway as this was a smallish wedding compared to the size of the church.
An individual pew end. A simple yet very effective way of dressing the pews. 3 White Avalanche roses with bear grass tied together with a white organza bow, attached to the pew with royal blue ribbon.
The porchway had a modern pedestal design of tall blue delphinium, agapanthus, white carnations and button chrysants. Aspidistra leaves and fatsia leaves with green sisal finish off the design. All arranged on one of our new tall vases.
The door way to the church already looked very pretty with tubs of summer bedding plants but to add some height we added 2 of our baytrees either side of the door.
All these items were transferred to the Pyewipe for the reception.
