June Showcase, New Place, Shirrell Heath

The June showcase at New Place was a perfect opportunity to show off some seasonal favourites. Peonies and sweet peas have a short season but are absolutely perfect for a June wedding. I love them ! We chose a bright and summery scheme of corals, reds and lime for a wedding breakfast in the Arden Suite and ever popular vintage pinks in the Bristol room. The dining room looked gorgeous decked out with lanterns and candles. 

Coral peonies, coral roses, red sweet peas and green hydrangea with ivy trails make a fabulous tall table centre for a June wedding. Bright and summery and the colours blended beautifully with the deep red chairs at New Place. 

Something different for the top table, martini and shot glasses filled with bright flowers on a line of mirror plates help create the summer party theme.

Coral sunset peonies and Miss Piggy roses fill small martini and shot glasses for the top table.

Co-ordinating  low table centre of coral sunset peonies, Coral roses, red sweet peas, green hydrangea and a dash of lime alchemilla Mollis.

Floral table plans make a fabulous alternative to the more traditional boards and help spread the flower and colour creating extra impact.The table cards were provided by

The fire place in the Bristol room at New Place ready for a wedding and decorated with 2 stand designs in antique vintage pinks. My new silver stands look just perfect in this period setting.
