I have the most beautiful ivory summer flowers for a Pynes House Wedding to share with you on the blog today! Francesca and Rob were married last year in July surrounded by elegant and natural florals at one of the finest, exclusive wedding venues you can find. A show stopping floral archway and statement top table installation featured within the day so please read on and be captivated by the stunning photograph of Studio Westlake.
Ivory colour palette in Pynes House:
My bride reallt wanted to focus on a colour palette of strict neutrals, centering aroudn ivory as the predominant colour with hints of nude as an accent. The bridal party bouquets consisted of blousy ivory roses, whilst the boys wore simple ivory rose boutonnières. There is a reason why couples come back to a neutral colour way fo their wedding flowers, and that is because this combination is completely elegant and of course timeless. White will absolutely never be out of fashion in the wedding idustry!
Outdoor ceremony flowers at Pynes House:
As a team we work at Pynes House frequently and I truly know the venue like the back of my hand, I can recommend the areas that you need to focus on flowering, yet also the areas that you do not. My couple had their heart set on an outdoor ceremony, on the steps to the grand entrance of Pynes. I mean why wouldn't you with that artictecture as a ceremony backdrop? Dressing the huge doors can seem an overwhelming task, however I suggested we focused on creating statement floral designs to frame the door and of course the happy couple. Francesca opted for a slightly neater style of florals, with contained foliage yet full of seasonal and blousy blooms. I used tall stylish statement for structure, alongside the purest white hydrangeas and roses too ad that full floral look. The arramge,ents trailed down the steps, creating a romantic and stylish look to the ceremony.
Table Flowers in the Ballroom:
We continued the ivory summer flowers for a Pynes House wedding throughout the venue, adding in a touch more colour in the ballroom. Long banquet tables stemmed from the long top table, a layout that really works within this room! The top table needed to add impact and so we flowered a high, long floral design full of blousy roses, dainty foliage and textured smokebush. Also known as continus, it is the delicate fluffy, copper like coloured branches that form on the continus plant in summer. I love this time of year and love evem more coming across new smokebush trees I have spotted in peoples gardens! I planted mine last year so it is still only about 3 foot tall and showing absolutely no signs of being able to cut down soon.
How to add texture and depth to your wedding flowers:
I love how the colour of the smoke bush really emphasises the porcelein like nature of the quicksand roses and adds a luxurious depth to the arrangement. As the top table was such a statement we decided to go very simple on the rest of the tables, with clear glass votives filled with ivory and nude roses. A more modern look, yet one that still looks elegant and timeless and fits into the surrounding of Pynes House, perfectly.
