Hulne Abbey

The flower ladies have been incredibly busy this summer hence no blogging. We have met some lovely brides and grooms and arranged some gorgeous flowers. This weekend the flower ladies are off to the fabulous Hulne Abbey within the Alnwick Castle Estate in Northumberland. The flowers are looking good a selection of blues, purple, pink and ivory. Our flower selection includes Stock, Delphinium, Lisianthus, Scabious and the gorgeous Norma Jean scented rose. One of the team is down with a poorly back so we have brought in our new recruit, our young apprentice. Pictures to follow I hope when I work out how to do it from the new gadget.

Congratulations Laura and Andy

Newton Hall

Well the flower ladies are back.  We have had a long absence just so busy.  Posting the pictures from our Newton Hall and Guyzance Hall weddings this weekend later on today.  Make sure you come back and check it out.

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.
