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.

St Peter at Gowts Church

St Peter-at-Gowts Church.

A wonderful church to decorate with plenty of room to display pedestals. Only drawback is they have to be large otherwise you won't see them at the altar from the back.

They consisted mainly of pink gerberas, with pink broom, carnations and misumata branches.

We displayed one pedestal in the porchway for impact when guests arrived and one at the front of the church on the grooms side.

As the budget was getting tight it was agreed that the two front and two back pews had a simple arrangement of 3 pink gerberas and wax flower and the rest had bows alternating down the aisle.

A debate had gone on as to whether we and the bride would be allowed to have flowers in church as it was still in Lent, but the Vicar on this occassion agreed as long as they were moved immediately afterwards. All arrangements were moved down to The Pride of Lincoln for the reception.
