Kortney's Rustic Chic Wedding Flowers Part 2 - The Venues

Better late than never and following on from my earlier post, here are some images of  Kortney's lovely church and reception flowers. This was a formal black tie wedding with a very rustic twist and the flowers had to reflect both elements- A very natural but still  elegant look. 

Church pew ends of white lilac ( syringa), simple tied bunches. Gorgeous for a Spring wedding

Church flowers, white roses, lilacs, ranunculus and freesia with trails of mixed ferns and ivy. One on each of the ledges behind the altar. They make a beautiful backdrop for the wedding ceremony. The church is St Stephens in Lyndhurst

Top Table flowers at The Pig, Brockenhurst. The rustic style suits the venue perfectly. Here I have used white rose, lilacs( syringa), ranunculus, and freesia with mixed ferns and ivy and each section is separated by a church candle in a storm lantern.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Kortney and James for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I loved working on this scheme with it's mix of 2 differing styles. And very many congratulations on your marriage.

Olivia's Lilac Wedding Flowers, Rhinefield House

For her March wedding at Rhinefield House, Olivia choose a beautiful shade of lilac for her flowers and the style was elegant as befitting the venue but with very natural twist and just a hint of wild. The sun shone, it was a completely perfect day for a wedding.

Olivia's bouquet, lilac roses given a country twist with rosemary, asparagus fern and lilac limonium. The rose is called Ocean Song and is stunning. Photographs do not do it justice unfortunately !

Beautiful, simple designs of Avalanche roses with lilac limoniumon for the bridesmaids who were in lilac. .

Gorgeous buttonhole of ivory rose with rosemary and lilac limonium for the men.

Ceremony table at Rhinefield house with trailing long and low design with candles using lilac and ivory roses with lilac limonium.

Beautiful top table/ceremony table trailing design in lilac and ivory using mixed roses and natural, country style foliages with candles in storm lanterns between the sections. Designs like this can be good value for civil ceremonies were they can do double duty decorating the ceremony table and then the top table. 

Alcove flowers at the Great Hall in Rhinefield. Actually a table centre doing double duty for the wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, it was simply moved to one of the guest tables for the wedding breakfast.

Elegant low table centre with a natural country twist, a low pedestal bowl with lilac and ivory roses, the country twist is given by the lilac limonium, rosemary and trails of asparagus fern and ivy. 

Top table flowers, a long and low trailing design of ivory and lilac roses, lilac limonium and natural country style trails of ivy and asparagus fern. Made in sections with each section separated by a church candle in a storm lantern.

Gill's Dusky Pink and Ivory Wedding Flowers - Woodlands Lodge Hotel

So, the catching up hasn't been going to well ! However, here are some images from Gill's lovely February wedding. Showing it is perfectly possible to have a romantic mid summer look to your flowers mid winter.

Simple bouquet of dusky pink and ivory roses with ruscus for Gill using Keano and Avalanche roses.

Dusky pink rose and white freesia make a gorgeous buttonhole for the groom.

The bridesmaids carried a smaller version of the bridal bouquet, a hand tied mix of Keano and Avalanche roses with ruscus.

Tall centrepiece of mixed dusky and pale pink roses, spray roses and gypsophila in a cocktail vase. Spray rose buds and ivy trail down the stem to create a lovely finishing touch.

The base of the design with the ivy trail and spray rose, lace covered tea lights complete the romantic look.

Romantic, tall table centre of mixed pink roses and gypsophila at the Woodlands Lodge hotel. A lovely touch of summer in the middle of February. 

A different idea for the top table and ceremony table. Pretty little mixed vases of flowers and church candles make a lovely alternative to the traditional long and low. This grouped design was first used on the ceremony table and later moved to the top table. 

That just leaves me to say thank so much Gill for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, it was an absolute pleasure and I hope you had an amazing day.

Becky's Wintery Wedding Flowers, Solent Spa

 Becky was keen to have a very natural wintery look for her flowers but avoiding anything Christmassy. The wedding was the week before Christmas and the wish to avoid the Christmas look is not uncommon. So if you are a winter bride looking for a seasonal look without the Christmas touches, this post is for you.

Becky's beautiful wintery bouquet in whites, creams and silvers using roses,spray roses, anemones, brunnia, wax flower and senecio. Very natural, very wintery but no traces of Christmas.

Co-ordinating bouquets of ivory roses, cream spray roses, brunnia, wax flower and the silvery senecio for the bridesmaids. 

Buttonhole of white rose, bruwnia and eucalyptus for the groom.

Stunning, wintery candelabra flowers in pale pinks, silver and whites, very loose and natural. I've used soft pink roses, cream spray roses, white anemones and berries, wax flower and mixed silver toned foliages to create the look. The ivy trails are the perfect finishing touch.

Co-ordinating wreaths of roses, berries, wax flower and silver foliages around a candle makes a lovely co-ordinating low design for a few of the tables. Mixing the heights like this helps give colour, flower and candlelight at different levels and the overall effect can be just stunning.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Becky for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. It was an absolute pleasure working on this beautiful, natural, and wintery scheme for you.

Hannah's Rustic Christmas Wedding Flowers, White Lion, Soberton

A beautiful rustic winter wedding that took place in the week after Christmas. Think small village church and village pub reception with roaring log fires and lots of candlelight. Just gorgeous

Hannah's beautiful bouquet of white roses in a mass of gypsophila. Very soft and very pretty. I love gypsophila for a winter wedding -it's has the look of snow !

Rustic winter buttonhole of gypsophila with twig and a twine finish to the stem. 

Bridesmaids' bouquets of massed gypsophila with the stems finished with twine for the rustic look.

Church pews with jars of gypsophila and candles. It was not possible to hang anything from these pews so the jars line the aisle and look just as pretty.

Table Centre of massed gypsophila in a jar decorated with jute and lace, the log, candles and pine cones finish the look.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Hannah for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, it was an absolute pleasure putting this very pretty rustic look together for you.
