Longhirst Hall

Thursday at Lonhirst Hall table centres on a short raised vase give a little impact to the table without being too tall for the guests to see over the top enableing them to chat to other guests on their table.  Flowers included ivory Freesia, pink double Lisiathus and ivy.  The table centres placed on a mirror polished of course.

A shower bouquet using white Calla Lily, Sweet Avalanche roses, ivory Freesia and pearls.  Sweet avalanche is a large headed rose pale pink with a faded outer green petal.  A bouquet of this style suits an a line skirt or a fuller skirt the bouquet needs to be a compliment to the dress and not overpower it.  We apologise for the side ways view.

TheTreeHouse.

 Our table centres in the Tree House at the Alnwick Garden.  The brides mother covered jam jars with string and pieces of ivory and white lace.  The flower ladies filled the jars with pink Astrantia, ivory spray Rose, white Lisianthus and white wax Flower for a garden look. The jars were all different sizes, some tables had groups together some individual depending upon the size of the table. 

 The stunning Tree House from the car park it is pretty impressive.  At night it is magical.

Just a couple of jars covered with lace.  A little green bells attached to this one.

The flower ladies assistant just testing out the rope bridges!  Its pretty chilly up there. 

Spring weddings

Another gorgeous spring wedding at the picturesque Longhirst Hall.  Wild flower looking bouquets of white Daisy, Feverfew, Veronica tails and Rosemary for the bride.  A matching tiny posy with a long grass stem for the little flower girl.













Our tables were decorated with jam jars and tins decorated with seed heads, brown paper and raffia.  Loose daisy heads and mini eggs decorated the table too.
The flowers were transferred to the evening reception where they were placed on mirrors and complimented with candle light.
 The guests were then able to take the flowers home at the end of the evening a card on each table invited them to do so. 





Bridesmaids posy using Green Bells, Feverfew, white Daisy, pink Phlox and purple Veronica tails. All tied quite informally with white raffia.

Happy New Year to all of our followers. The flower ladies are having a quiet time at the moment time to catch up on all the jobs.

We have been to Eshott Hall today to arrange flowers for the wedding open Day.  There was a bit of glamour using broaches, perfume bottles and candles.  just a little different for a wedding table, each table can be a little different and it is fun collecting all the bits and pieces.

A bowl of fruit for guests to nibble between courses and of course a selection of our cake stands to complete the setting.  Our flowers used blue Delphinium, white Akito Rose, faded vintage Carnation with a little Tanecetum which smells amaising.

We used a little ceramic jug to display some stunning but simple blue Delphinium, little buckets of spray Rose,Stallion Chrysanthemum and blue Delphinium,  We often use the little buckets for favours and individual place settings.

The stunning but simple martini glass on hire from the amazing www.steelcitypromotions.co.uk filled with pearls then gorgeous pink Lisianthus, Wax Flower and Sweet Avalanche Roses.

Our last table at www.eshotthall.co.uk the sleek candelabra with a bit of an autumn theme.  The fab peach Avalanche Rose, Anigozanthus and Hypericum Berry.

There is always the top table decorated with our signature arrangement of small cut glass vases and a long central arrangement.  Blue Agapanthus, Sweet Avalanche Rose, vintage pink Carnation, Lilac and Lisianthus.

New Years Eve 2012

The final wedding of the year 31st December what a great day for a wedding and a New Years eve party in one.  The day was bright but it was blowing a gale.

The brides theme was a different idea for each table we had asewing machine, a typewriter,clocks, china, ruby, crystal and lace.

It looked fantastic just a few of our pictures to share.

The bride carried a bouquet of purple Roses they were real, although dyed but a fantastic colour.  The dress code was formal and all the men wore black tie.

Well here we are in 2013 all the weddings in 2012 done and everyone is happy.  The flower ladies had an exciting year ending with the National Wedding awards and being shortlisted in the wedding flower category.  We did not progress any further but the experience was well worth the effort better luck this year.

Some gorgeous button holes made from Astrantia, wheat stems and a little Lavender.

A very simple mantle piece decoration from the same wedding using shades of hydrangea and mis matched glasses

the brides bouquet very simple but very fragrant just what she ordered.  Dried lavender and Wheat, Astrantia and a little purple accent.
