Maxine's Champagne and Blush Winter Wedding Flowers, New Place, Shirrell Heath

A very pretty, classic late autumn/ winter wedding flower scheme at New Place, here are Maxine's wedding flowers.

Maxine's stunning winter bouquet, a mix of champagne roses, blush spray roses, white anemones, ranunculus, bouvardia and astilbe with a little green skimmia and a touch of feathery tree fern at the edges. 

 Groom's buttonhole of white rose, anemone and bouvardia with classic vintage style foliages and mum's corsage of white ranunculus with bouvardia.

Bridesmaids' bouquets used white gypsophila with bouvardia, simple but effective and very pretty.

A floral wreath around a storm lantern with church candle makes a gorgeous low centrepiece for an autumn / winter wedding. This one in champagne and blush with sage green uses mix of champagne roses, blush spray roses, white anemones, ranunculus and gypsophila with a little green skimmia and mixed vintage toned foliages that co-ordinate beautifully with the sage green chair sashes.

The top table was a linear version of the centrepieces, wedding themed long and low sections of flower and foliages with church candles in storm lanterns in between each section.

Floral arch at New Place uses mixed foliages with fairy lights and gypsophila running through it. In the low light of a late November wedding the fairy lights create a magical effect for arriving guests. The design is very simple but very effective for a winter wedding. Only a pity I had to put it up and photo it in daylight !

And that just leaves me to say thank you so much Maxine for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I absolutely love winter weddings and it was a real joy to work on yours for you.

Kimberley's Nude-Blush, Autumn-Winter Wedding Flowers, New Place

A late November wedding, again proving just how beautiful wedding flowers for this time of year can be. The scheme is very natural using a mix of nude and blush roses, berries, thistles and seasonal foliages.

Mixed high and low candle designs, candelabra and wreath flowers.

A different idea for the top table, mixed grouped candles and glasses of flowers all at differing heights with loose flower and berry in between. The design combined beautifully with the candelabra and wreath designs on the guest tables.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Kimberley for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I absolutely loved working on this beautiful wintery scheme for you.

The view as the bride enters the Bristol room at New Place. The stunning fireplace looks amazing decorated with a trailing mantle design with candles and a pedestal design either side.

Fireplace flowers in whites and greens, simple, natural but still elegant. I've used roses, lisianthus, gyp, green skimmia, oak leaf and ivy trails to create the effect.

Gorgeous idea for an autumn table centre. Tall vase of curly twigs and lisianthus flowers. The table below is decorated with massed tea lights and scattered oak leaves to create a wonderfully warm autumn look.

Green Oak leaves make beautiful and very natural place cards.

Storm lanterns, candles and scattered oak leaves on the window ledges make the perfect finishing touch.

New Place Showcase, June 2014

The stunning Bristol room at New Place with floral heart and candles for the fireplace mantle and a pedestal either side of the hearth. It's always a pleasure to decorate a fireplace and the one at New Place is one of my very favourites. Here I've used pale blue hydrangea with ivory roses, spray roses, astrantia and mixed foliages to include the silvery eucalyptus. 

Pedestal design of pale blue hydrangea, ivory roses, spray roses and astrantia with silver eucalyptus and fresh green foliages. The formal sphere shape and silver stand are perfect for this period room.

Floral heart of blue hydrangea, ivory roses, silver eucalyptus and astrantia. The floral heart is an extremely versatile design that can be used all manner of ways. Here it is used as a cost effective way of decorating a large mantle. They can also be hung from gates, doorways, arches or poles, used on a stand perhaps in church entrances, table plan tables etc etc. I love them !

Fireplace wedding flowers at New Place, fresh blue, ivory, silver and green. A floral heart for the mantle with a co-ordinating pedestal design on silver stand either side.

Here it is again, this time the floral heart is on a stand on my table waiting to be admired ! Very quick and easy to whip it off the mantle and move it across to the reception room so it can do double duty. 

Winter theme for the Arden Suite, massed gyp and crystal droplets on tall candelabra make a gorgeous winter table centre. The mirror plate, tea lights and scattered table diamonds finish the look. 

Co-ordinating design of massed gyp and spider chrysanths ( think snowflakes !) with large multiwick candle make a gorgeous alternative for a low table centre. 

Cassie's Vintage Glamour Wedding Flowers, New Place

A stunning late February, Vintage Glamour styled wedding at New Place for Cassie and Brad. The flowers were to be soft and elegant and in shades of Nude-blush and white.

Classic vintage bouquet in shades of Nude - Blush with white for Cassie. I used Avalanche Pearl roses and Bombastic spray roses with white bouvardia and lisianthus and minimal foliage to create the look.

Bridesmaids' bouquets in soft ivory, nude-blush and white using roses, spray roses, bouvardia and lisianthus. 

Gorgeous groom's buttonhole using ivory rose, Bombastic spray rose and heather.

Vintage styled buttonholes of Spray rose and heather make a lovely alternative for the remaining men. Ladies wore similar designs in ivory.

Different idea for Hearth flowers for the fireplace at New Place, a gorgeous mix of vases of tulips and roses with candles, tea lights and scattered petals. Perfect for the vintage glamour theme and for bride's looking for alternative ideas for decorating a fireplace. Designs inside the hearth are especially good where the fireplace is large and the mantle very high.

Fireplace flowers, a different idea for decorating the Bristol room at New Place. The hearth looks gorgeous decorated with elegant vases of tulips mixed with vases of roses and tea lights. A scattering of petals completes the look and for added impact Cassie added 2 stand designs either side.

The ceremony table was dressed with a co-ordinating mixed vase design of roses and tulips with tea lights and scattered petals.

The vintage glamour themed table centres looked stunning, tall elegant designs of mixed roses, amaryllis and lisianthus with crystal drops in shades of nude - blush with white and green. The trumpet vases contained crystal beads and a lisianthus flower to carry the gorgeous, generous look down to the table level and a rose for every place setting finished the tables off perfectly.

The Arden Suite at New Place Vintage Glamour style all ready for the wedding breakfast.

Roses slipped into each napkin make a gorgeous finishing touch and I loved Cassie's place cards. 

Last but not least, my floral table plan - a house speciality !
