Eshott Hall wedding open day.

The photos just in, the flower lady has had a busy Sunday preparing and setting up the flowers for the tables at the open day.  The table runners and chair sashes from simply bows were simply stunning.  Unusual and different from the usual organza.  I hope we did them justice with the flowers.
The chairs were decorated with a single green Cymbidium Orchid with a lilac hint to the petals and a string of pearls from our vintage collection.

The top table the flower lady decorated with her signature collection of small cut glass vases and two low long glass vases with a collection of Roses, Hyacinth, Carnation and Lissianthus in shades of lilac and pink to compliment the deep lilac and gold table runners placed vertically instead of horizontally for a stunning effect.

 A posy of off white Avalanche Roses with Hyacinth pips and contorted Willow contained in a mirror sided cube, set on a linen table runner patterned with pink roses.

 

 The flower lady feeling a bit peckish has used fruit in the arrangement to compliment the gold themed table complete with gold quilted effect runner and gold charger plates.  The famous grand Prix Roses, Empire Apples, Lime and kiwi fruit for a taste of the tropical.  There is aways a good use for a glass cake stand this time to elevate the 3 wick candle.

 The duck egg blue accessories lend themselves to pinks, creams and peach.  A bowl of pearls to add a lavish feel, Peach Avalanche Roses, pink Lissianthus, single pink Carnation and unfortunately for the flower lady artificial white Hydrangea never normally used but in this case to get the look it had to be used.  The flower lady much prefers fresh.

The end result complete with the beautiful chandeliers in the ball room.

December weddings

Well here we are at the end of the wedding year we have only had two weddings in December the first was Nichola and Ben at Eshott Hall in Northumberland.  It was a very frosty morning we nearly did not get the van up the hill from the A1 we were slip sliding around but a bit of gravel on the side of the road helped us out.
The chosen colours we red and gold but not christmassy.
We used tall gold candleabras hired from an events company at the base was a large ring of winter foliage, large  Grand Prix roses, hypericum berries in red and green and some contorted willow twigs.
The hall way was set with an enormous real christmas tree, the end chairs had a long stem rose in the centre of each bow and to top if all of we hung a large bunch of Mistletoe in the doorway.

Christmas demonstrations

Well the christmas demonstrations have come to an end.  The flower lady and her assistant have been to five flower clubs and met some lovely ladies.  We visited Kirkhill ladies first with some small table and gift ideas not much glitter though as it was only 1st November.  There was a christmas cake and cocktail glasses to name a few.  Pictures of the cake and cocktails to come soon.
A simple 3 wick candle surrounded by scented Eucalyptus and tiny pieces of dried orange.  Two single Grand Prix Roses thats the scentd one with the big head one surrounded by winter foliage and herbs the other with dried orange slices, both on a base of cinnamon sticks.  Great for little gifts.
