Today the flower ladies have been out and about covering many miles for the sake of the flower. Our weddings today were at Eshott Hall north of Morpeth and Otterburn Tower Hotel in the north of Northumberland. Our brief today at Eshott was simplicity with white Phalanopsis Orchids in glass cubes filled with moss on the tables. Simply stunning venue with gorgeous grounds for photos. The bride carried a shower bouquet of Cezzanne Roses that's a cream rose with pink edged petals, ivory Freesia, Vandella Rose this one is ivory and Stephanotis. The three bridesmaids carried simple tied posies of ivory Freesia and Vandella Roses.
After a quick sprint back to Morpeth we collected the step ladder and went to Otterburn it was raining again. Today the flower lady was assisted by Sue and Charlotte (pictures of the assistants to come). Here we had a colour scheme of Purple and ivory. Single purple Hydrangea heads floating in the top of a martini glass with crystals. Tall cones made from sisal sprayed silver which had a single purple Hydrangea in the top were attached to a garland of tuille down the stairs (that will stop them sliding down the bannister later) and around the walls of the marquee. The cones each had crystals attached patiently threaded onto wire by the assistants while watching tv.
The highlight was probably the pole dancing. Whats all that about you might say. We decorated the two poles in the marquee with organza and ivy but that meant that the flower lady herself had to go to the top of the ladder whilst the assistants took turns holding the ladder making comments about her dancing skills. Its not good to start laughing holding a pole while your feet are eight feet off the ground.
Well all finished so off to Otterburn Mill for lunch quiche and salad and a cup of tea and a scone for Sue. Its raining again in fact its like a monsoon the roads are flooded in places.
