Peacock coloured reception at Charlotte House Hotel

Sarah and Dan's colour scheme was carried on through the reception arrangements.

They provided the zinc buckets which they had painted in blues and lilacs. We were then asked to fill them in a posy style with matching flowers from the bouquets and more peacock feathers.

 Included are:
Blue Delphiniums, purple eustoma and stocks, lilac freesia and rose and pink astilbe.

 The reception was held at Charlotte House Hotel.
The tables were dressed with a mixture of lilac and blue napkins and tea light holders.

 As the wedding ceremony was also held here the chairs would be moved back after it had finished.

The top table was treated to the same designs.

 The ceremony room, not quite ready, had two bay trees either side the registrars table.

With two trees either side the door too. These had ivory roses with lilac ribbon and tulle bases.

A peacock inspired wedding

 Sarah and Dan's wedding was a colourful affair based on the gorgeous jewelled tones of the peacock feather. These HAD to be incorporated into all the designs. The flowers being included were largely left to me to get the best blooms available at the time as long as they stayed in the blue/purple/pink palette
Sarah's bouquet was a mix of purple lisianthus, freesia, stocks, alliums, Ocean song roses, Blue delphiniums and pink astilbe with a good amount of peacock eye feathers in. The stems were bound in purple ribbon and pinned with blue pearl headed pins..

 The two adult bridesmaids carried a very similar but smaller bouquet.

 The smaller bridesmaid carried a smaller still bouquet,

 and the flower girl carried a silver heart wand with purple lisianthus flowers, lilac ribbon and bows with the all important peacock eye feathers.

 The groom's buttonhole was a collection of an Ocean song rose, purple freesia and lisianthus and a peacock feather.

 The rest of the bridal party wore a single Ocean song rose buttonhole with feather.

A lovely wrist corsage with an Ocean song rose, freesia, lisianthus, delphiniums and feathers.

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.

This weeks arrangement for Andrew J Musson Tailors.

New in this week are gorgeous English blue delphiniums. They are ideal for the vase we arrange the flowers in, having plenty of height. A stem of cordyline foliage and some black sisal are all that is needed to set them off.

The Lincolnshire Oak

This is the reception from the wedding below, held at The Lincolnshire Oak Sleaford.

The table displays are a single stem of white lily, blue delphiniums and bear grass arranged in 50cm clear round lily vases.

The top table was finished off with one of the displays taken from the church.

Blue and white wedding flowers

The ceremony took place at St Oswalds church Blankney. We were asked to arrange 2 pedestals, 2 displays for the tables, and an archway for the Lyche gate. As the budget was finalised it became clear a full flower garland was out of the question and so an alternative was put forward of white gerberas and blue bows for the archway and a baytree either side the gate decorated in colours to match which could then be transported to the reception.

These are the flowers from Natascha and Matt's wedding last Saturday.

The brides hand-tie bouquet consists of crystal blush calla lily, lily grass and bear grass threaded with crystal beads, finished with white satin ribbon.

The bridesmaids hand-tie bouquets were of crystal blush calla lily, blue delphiniums, bear grass with beaded crystals and they had white ribbon around the stems (photo taken before finished off).

The flower girl had a silver wand, with crystals attached, with a white carnation and finished off with blue ribbon.
