Tall Winter Table Centerpieces

I've just finished working on this wonderful winter wedding that you can see in the photo here at Walton Hall, Warwickshire.

The couple choose deep burgundy red as their colour theme. I produced these stunning tall table centerpieces that fitted in with their colour theme. We teamed it with ivory and lime green to lift the rich red.

We placed the beautiful deep red black baccara rose inside the vases.

These table arrangements really suit this room as it has incredibly high ceilings and very ornate features.

Here is some more information and photo's of weddings flowers we have produced at Walton Hall.

Hydrangea Wedding Flowers

Hydrangeas have become an increasingly popular choice for wedding flowers. Here you can see the large pink hydrangea heads that we have in for a wedding this weekend.

They are a popular choice for table arrangements as well as bridal bouquets as they fit in really well with the recent Vintage Wedding Theme.

Hydrangeas come in pink, white, blue and a beautiful brown colour edged with green. They look fabulous when used on their own or when teamed with flowers such as lisianthus, peonies, stocks, roses and ranunculus.

Here are some more ideas on wedding flowers choices.

Let's Here it for the Boys

Don't forget about the men when you're planning your wedding flowers.

Let's face it they are not going to have many flowers, so make the ones they do have really special.

In this photo you can see how I've made this calla lily buttonhole look very contemporary and stylish without going over the top on accessories.

Sometimes discreet delicate details look far better and get noticed more than you'd think.

I love creating different buttonholes that coordinate through with the bridal flowers. Click here for more photos and ideas on buttonholes.

Peonie Wedding Flowers

As Spring moves into summer I think it's an ideal time to celebrate this beautiful English flower the peonie.

The peonie has become a really popular choice for brides at this time of the year. If you're looking for an English garden theme or vintage style to your wedding flowers then Peonies might be a choice for you.

Peonies make a great alternative to large garden roses, they also provide a beautiful delicate fragrance to a bouquet.

Peonies are available in soft and rich pink, white and deep red.

Vintage Wedding Flowers

In this video you can see me setting up at a wedding. The bride asked us to produce vintage style table arrangements incorporating her butterfly theme. She was keen to have a very natural style of flower arrangements using fragrant flowers. The arrangements fitted very well with her venue, a rustic barn surrounded by beautiful countryside near Stratford Upon Avon.

Candelabra's At Walton Hall Hotel

Candelabras really are a wonderful choice of table decoration for weddings. They work especially well if you are holding your wedding reception at a period house or stately home.

In the photograph you can see how we decorated them for a wedding at Walton Hall Hotel. They were a perfect choice for this period property. The reception room has a very high ceiling and very ornate chandeliers so the candelabras fitted in really well.

You should always check with your wedding venue that they allow you to use candles before making your final arrangements.

Kilworth House - Civil Ceremony Decorations

A great way to decorate your registrar's table during your civil ceremony is to place your top table arrangement on it.

In the photo you can see how Faye's top table arrangement was placed on the registrars table ready for the wedding ceremony at Kilworth House.

Brides are often looking at economical ways to cut the cost of wedding decorations. We always advise couples to use the flowers as many times as possible. The staff at your venue will be more than happy to move things for you. After all the flowers are so beautiful you want to use them as much as possible.

Church Flowers At Wroxall Abbey

Decorating your church with flowers can really make a difference. I think flowers are the finishing touch to a church, the element that says there is a wedding being held.

In the photo you can see how we have dressed the beautiful inside arch of the Wrens Chapel at Wroxall Abbey. It's a lovely way to coordinate your flowers and colour scheme and the perfect backdrop for those all important photographs.

Next to the arch you can see the edge of a pedestal arrangement. It is popular to have one of these in the entrance of the church to greet your guests. Then a second at the alter to draw your attention down the aisle.

Butterfly Themed Wedding Decorations

Butterflies make a great wedding theme and they are so popular at the moment which means you'll be spoilt for choice on how to incorporate them into your wedding.

Butterflies can be used in the design of your invitations, table planner, place setting and in your wedding flowers. After all there is nothing more natural that a butterfly hovering over flowers.

I think the reason they are so popular is because of their delicate structure and the best ones to choice are the ones made out of feathers as seen in the photo here. These are much better than the plastic variety as it enables them to keep that delicate fragile look.

Orange makes a wonderful colour theme for those couples looking for something a little bit different. You can see here how it was co-ordinated with the brown of the men's suits and bridesmaid shawls.

Orange is also a perfect colour for brides with a tropical or fall/Autumn theme.

One of our favourite vibrant orange flowers is the gerbera. For more information and ideas on orange wedding flowers click here http://www.wedding-flowers-guide.com/orange-wedding-flowers.html
