Cleatham Hall

On Wednesday I went over to Cleatham Hall to dress this gorgeous venue with flowers. This is the second time I have done this and this time we went for a garden/summer/country theme.

The steps were drapped in foliage garlands with bottles (provided by Cleatham Hall) with stems of Sweet Williams.

The entrance hall is a lovely open space and has some lovely furniture which can be dressed with bottles, vases and candles.

The alcoves were once again filled with flowers, this time a conical vase with a mass of blue delphiniums, cow parsley and ivy with 2 jam jars filled with a mix of summer blooms.

Into one of the ceremony rooms (all the downstairs space has a license so is completely flexible for your marriage ceremony) and this lovely plant stand was treated to two jam jars of flowers.

Into the Orangery for the wedding breakfast. The delphinium displays were moved (as they could be for your day) onto the guest tables with a third table having a large birdcage design in pinks, lilacs, blues and white to match the jam jar flowers at the base of the tall displays.

The chair covers were provided by Chloe at Weddings by Chloe

The glassware and cutlery were provided by Julie at Bon Appetit Specialist catering

The outside space is varied and plenty of places are available for photographs but I love this table and dressed it with a foliage garland with jars and bottles to match the inside designs.

White Heather reception flowers

Laura’s wedding reception was at The White Heather at Caenby corner in Lincolnshire.

The gorgeous summer blooms were carried into the designs here.

In the entrance we placed a lovely tall bird cage stand which was to collect all the guest’s congratulation cards and decorated this with a spray of flowers. These included, roses, peony, eustoma, veronica, astilbe, sweet peas and lavender creating a scent filled entrance.
