Table 3 Inspiration - Green

We've created a low level table centrepiece this time, in a lovely fresh green and white colourscheme.

Flowers include roses, rannuculus, lisianthus, hellebore, hypericum - with the finishing touch of granny smith apples and fresh limes!

And for an added twist, why not use apples for the table place setting.

Table Inspiration 2 - Crisp Blue and White

Our second table theme to show you is this lovely colourscheme of blue and white! There are not enough blue themed weddings in my opinion, and its such a lovely colour to work with.

Flowers, hydrangea ( 3 varieties), muscari, eucalyptus

Table Inspiration 1 - City Chic

Sorry we've been a little quiet on the blogging front just lately. Its been a crazy couple of weeks with weddings and wedding fayres....but...fear not, there is a bright side to this, we have lots of lovely photos to share with you!

For the last couple of wedding fayres we have partnered with Tillyboo Events to put together a number of different wedding table themes to give our brides a bit of inspiration . We've had great feedback and have lots of images to show, too many for one post, so to keep it short and sweet, i'll blog a different table design each day . How does that sound, good? ......

Tim & Jackie Wedding 13th March

Mothers day weekend is busy at the best of times, but this year, we also had a wedding to focus on, which meant alot of extra planning, but it was well worth it as this one was a beauty.

Jackie our bride opted for a gorgeous dress in an unusual 'oyster' colour, so to complement this we opted for creams, browns & dusky pinks. Her dress had lace detailing which gave it a bit of a vintage look , which we tied in with the flowers by using a vintage brooch around the stems. (thanks Abbeyx)

Jackie was quite happy to leave the flower choices to us, so we went for roses ( maroussia, cool water, hypnose, David austin Patience) - all my favourites, and some are scented too! Rannuculus, lilac and eucalyptus. Perfect!

To decorate the venue, the bride and groom opted for low bowl vases, (perfect for reusing bouquets ), which looked lovely against the flickering candlelight. The tables were also dressed with crystals, coordinating table runners, and chair covers.

And finally to decorate the beams, we made 2 rose filled hearts to make it extra special, that went perfectly with the fairy lights hired by tillyboo .

Thankyou to Sarah at Tillyboo Events & Steven Bradshaw photography for the images.

An American Wedding in Rural Derbyshire

One of our recent weddings was at the beautiful Shottle Hall , in my home county of rural Derbyshire.

It was quite a special wedding as the bride and groom are based in Seattle, in the big US of A and most of the planning and correspondence was done via email. I only actually met the bride once in the early stages of the preparations, so it was lovely to see our ideas come together.

The colourscheme was chocolate and teal and with the coordination of Sarah from Tillyboo Events , an amazing job was done with the planning so that the leadup all went to smoothly, and the wedding all coordinated together beautifully.

So onto the flowers !...

First task was an 18ft garland which surrounded the feature window as the backdrop for the civil ceremony. Early on in the planning we decided to opt for warmer shades to compliment the chocolate colourscheme, so chose gorgeous vendella and hypnose roses teamed with scented eucalyptus, which had the bluey shade to it to complete the teal colouring in the wedding.

We had to close the shutters whilst putting the garland up as the sun was so bright and we wouldnt have been able to take a photograph (one of the few sunny days we had in feb), but when they were open, the garland and gorgeous tall windows provided the perfect backdrop onto a beautiful countryside view.

The chairs looked gorgeous in the double wraps of teal and chocolate organza, and to finish the look off we supplied tiny chairbacks of white rannuculus, birch and eucalyptus.

For the reception flowers, the bride and groom wanted low arrangements so not to obstruct the eyeline of their guests so we opted for glass bowls filled with their coordinating flowers, with entwined birch inside the bowls.

And finally for the top table, a coordinating central arrangement with rannuculus clusters at the ends of the swags...

The rooms looked really lovely and the bride was very happy with everything. She spent alot of the morning with us, taking photos of the setup for her own memories, so hopefully we will get a few copies to update this post again at some point.

Pretty In Pink

Recently myself and the lovely Sarah from Tillyboo Events made a mockup table for one of our upcoming brides. As you can see, this bride wants the works, pink, crystals, butterflies, wow!

Here table centrepiece is a martini vase filled with glass diamond shaped crystals, beautiful pink stocks (my favourite flower, i absolutely adore the scent of them!), pink rannuculus , tulips and roses. This is going to be coordinated with matching table runner and chairbacks.

And for the finishing touch, i plan to make tiny pink corsages of pink rannuculus to go on each chair back. A lovely suprise for each guest!
