The Flower Shop team have been non-stop over the Bank
Holiday bringing together final touches to a jam packed weekend of weddings and
events. This blog will be the first instalment of our weekends work, concentrating on our wonderful weddings. If we’re all sitting comfortably, then I shall begin :)
First up came a fabulous wedding at The Runnymede-On-Thames
Hotel in Surrey (http://www.runnymedehotel.com/)
on the Saturday. The bride required 8 wonderful high table arrangements chocker-block
with flowers in all shades of pink. So for this we incorporated brilliant pale
pink Hydrangeas, a plethora of Aqua and Avalanche Roses in peach and pink, Eustoma
(Lisianthus) and Peonies. Crystal loops were
the final touch, a touch of sparkle for a wonderful bride!
For the top table we assembled a runner of small pots and containers holding
beautiful flowers similar to those in the high arrangements but with the extra special inclusion of pale pink Sweet Peas! Their fragrance and delicate nature are hard to ignore!

compliment. Perfect!
On Sunday a team of us headed off to The
Grove Hotel early doors to set up our second wedding of the weekend. As this
one was of the Jewish faith, first job of the day was to construct the Chuppah
for the ceremony room which was to take place in the Amber Suite. The
Chuppah arrangements were made up with similar flowers to that of the 6 high
arrangements – purple Hydrangea, English Hydrangea, Avalanche Roses, Scabiosa
and Eustoma.

Wow!
For the ceremony the high arrangements were not so high and were placed on pedestals along the isle but in a blink of an eye the arrangements were adjusted to decorate the reception room alongside low table centres in glass dishes! 10 points to those that can spot the Chuppah arrangements now?! :) Scattered rose petals around the arrangements were the finishing touch! Truly wonderful!
Our bride chose a fabulous red rose bridal bouquet made up of Grand Prix Roses which stands out brilliantly against her bridesmaids posies which are made up of Ilios pale yellow and Sweet Avalanche Roses. Lovely!
It was a pleasure to be involved with both weddings this weekend, a lot of fun had by all! Best wishes to the newlyweds! :)
Look out for second instalment of our Bank Holiday events and our floral table arrangements for The Grove Hotel's photo shoot!
Until next time,
Holly :)
