Stunning Wedding at Tithe Barn at Ditcham

Someflowers second wedding this week was a lovely array of flowers with an interesting use of colour for the venue flowers.  The Bridal and Breiddesmaids flowers were a pretty collaboration of Hot Pink, Pale Oyster pink and Ivory and for the venue flowers at Tithe Barn, Ditcham we introduced Lemon and Yellow to the Hot Pink. 

Take a look at a few photo's taken of the day.

Such A Busy Summer!!!!

It has been a good 12 weeks since my last post on my Blog (so much for being good this year and keeping ontop of it!!!-Lol)  So tonight I have managed to find some time to post a few things that Someflower have been up to over the last 3 months.

We have been so so busy and have had a fantastic time.  The rest of the year is just as "BloomingBusy" but we can do a posting again for Someflowers Autumn/Winter weddings later. 

 For now here is some from Summer so far. 

Blue seemed to feature very heavily this Summer.  Here are some gorgeous pictures of a sohisticaated luxury look in blue and white at the Tithe Barn, Ditcham, Nr Petersfield.

Here is a lovely Summery Hand Tied of white peonies, Gerbera and blue delphinium

The aisle lined with topiary trees at the barn with our BIG topiary bay tree called "George" in the centre who played a fabulous role as a wishing tree.

Someflower 2012...1st Wedding of the Season

It is lovely and very exciting to start the official 1st Day of Summer with a Wedding.

This Weekend we were at a lovely local venue to us here at Someflower-Old Thorns in Liphook for Jane and Chris's Wedding.

It was a pretty traditional style wedding.  It was great for us to start with a good traditional style shower/teardrop bridal bouquet with lots of roses and diamante crystal embellishments.

All of the bridal flowers including the bridesmaids flowers showcased some fantastic roses which are very popular choices.  Passion, Avalanche, Sweet Avalanche and Belle nesseled together inbetween soft dark green ruscus and an extra added delight was some highly fragrant Daphne that I picked from my cottage garden.

Avalanche makes a fantastic buttonhole

Crystal Hurricane Lamps adorned the tables in the Hampshire Suite.

...and a lovely traditional long low arrangement was used to not only decorate the Registrars table but to also feature as the centre table display on the top table.

You can see more photographs of this wedding .....and many more lovely Someflower Albums to look through on our Facebook Page.

Winter Wonderland Wedding March 2011

Spring has sprung and so has Someflower into action for 2011 weddings.

We started off this year at one of the best venues (in our opinion) in the South, the Tithe Barn at Ditcham, Near Petersfield. How lucky are we to have this gorgeous venue on our doorstep?

The decoration for this wedding was really unique. The couple getting married had a passion for skiing and wanted the venue to look wintery....but NOT Christmassy!!!

The Tithe Barn is a beautiful symmetrical venue with lots of high ledges which are perfect for decorating. So we made the ceremony end really pretty by alternating and using rustic wicker hanging hearts, Trailing ivy and lovely church pillar candles.

A lovely sentimental touch to this wedding and also the decoration was on the Registrar's table where we made a stunning table display featuring 6 white candles and white roses. This arrangement and each candle represented a member of the family who were unable to attend the wedding but were in mind and spirit. Anna the Bride gave us the candles to use and they were from Lakeland and as they burned they made a wintery icicle pattern....they were so beautiful.

Weddings are always so expensive and none of us nowadays have an open chequebook unfortunately. No wedding is too big or too small...it is still your special day and here at Someflower we are passionate about providing beautiful flowers and displays within your allocated budget. We are always looking for interesting and innovative ways to be cost effective with flowers for our clients and this wedding was no exception.

It is always lovely to decorate the aisle at you venue. It is the first thing your guests see and you want to create that wow factor and a bit of wedding atmosphere. For this wedding we made lovely silver pots of gypsophilia and foliage studded with LED lights at the base and then delicate white sparkly twigs with silver skeleton leaves interspersed between the branches.

The aisle looked magical and then after the ceremony the aisle decorations were used as the table centre displays....VERY ECONOMICAL!!!

More pictures of this wedding venue decoration can be seen on my Someflower Facebook pages. I hope to have some photographs of the whole day to show you very soon once the official photo's are available.

Please feel free to become a follower of blog and a friend on Facebook to keep up to date with all we are doing here at Someflower. Also take a look at our stunning new website designed by Limeweb Studio

It looks like a very busy, interesting, fun and exciting year!!!

2011 Weddings Begin For Someflower

Wow....what a hectic couple of months January and February have been for Someflower.
Usually the first couple of months of a new year are quiet and it is a great time to get on top of all the sorting and preparations ready for the wedding season to begin. However we have been really busy over the last few weeks meeting up with lots of new brides and grooms and their

families to discuss floral requirements and wedding ideas.

We offer a free No-Obligation consultation and we have been busy meeting people most weekends (Saturday & Sunday) since January and the diary is completely full until 19th March...how brilliant is that?

Next weekend is the start of our working year. Our 1st wedding of 2011 is at the Tithe Barn in Ditcham where the bride and groom are having a civil ceremony and reception. They are both interested and have a passion for skiing and we are making some unusual and unique displays with white wood and lots of LED lighting to personalize their special day and bring out the snow aspect for them. I hope to post some pictures very soon after the event.

As any one who meets Someflower will know we are very passionate about being budget conscious and work within a budget that our clients are happy with. For this wedding the clients were wanting the aisle decorated but did not want the usual topiary set up that always looks fabulous at the barn. So we have decided to be a little clever and create some lovely displays that are going to be used to decorate the aisle and then are also suitable to be used as table centres after the ceremony. I am sure it will look amazing and nice to have something different to showcase at the barn.

Purple and purple roses seem to be again a very popular choice for a lot of you 2011/2012 brides. We have had a couple of enquiries about black and white colour themes and also believe it or not two enquiries about using LIVE FISH in the table displays!!!

I have a feeling that Someflower will be having a really interesting year again....and we say "We can't wait"!!!

If you would like to arrange to meet up to discuss your floral requirements with Someflower, please feel free to contact us anytime. It would be lovely to see you.

Someflower to Exhibit At The Tithe Barn Open Day. Saturday 29th January 2011

Someflower will be exhibiting

at The Tithe Barn Open Day 2011.

Please feel free to stop by and say Hello, or contact us to arrange a consultation.

We will have a lovely selection of flowers for you to look at and to inspire you.

Pumpkins @The Tithe Barn

Bridal Bouquet of all "Mango" calla lilies and green hypericum berries.

Sumptuous chunky table centres in glass cubes with leucadendrons, calla lilies, roses, kermit chrysanths and fillers and berries.

Amazing carved pumpkins adorned the entrance of The Tithe Barn.

At the end of October we decorated The Tithe Barn at Ditcham for a beautiful wedding.

These gorgeous pumpkins saying "Mr & Mrs" "Just Married" and "Welcome" were placed outside the entrance to the barn and were a real talking point of the day by everyone.

The main colour harmony for this wedding was a rich and dramatic theme of Burnt Orange and Lime Green which looked amazing.

The depth of colour was fantastic against the walls of the barn and also gave a warm Autumn feel throughout the venue with the added clever touch of Halloween.

Summer @ The Manor Barn, Buriton

This was a beautiful day at one of my favourite

venues-The Manor Barn in Buriton. It was a lovely hot and sunny day....just perfect for Hayley and Adam.

These lovely images were taken by the clever and talented Barry Whitcher. (who even took a nice photo of me that day!!!). Click on this title to look at Barry's web site.

Again more of Barry's photography and my work can be seen on the Someflower Face Book pages.

What Are Vintage Flowers?

For me, vintage flowers are ones that evoke a feeling of shear English Country Nostalgia. Flowers that may be once classed as "Old Fashion" but are now making a comeback with a new and exciting contemporary feel.

Flowers that may remind our parents of their childhood more so than ours such as carnations, hydrangeas, peonies, sweet peas, chrysanthemums and dahlias.

A soft muted pallette of pastels can create such a beautiful romantic and glamorous feel to any wedding and venue.

Combined with vintage acceesories such as beading and lace and fabrics to name a few and an ecclectic selection of containers for centre peices can be acheived very easily for any truely romantic couple.

Red Roses & White Oriental Lilies @ The Tithe Barn

On Friday last week we were decorating The Tithe Barn at Ditcham with lots of scented "Rialto" white lilies and "Grand Prix" red roses for Matt and Nicola.

We used these elegant 70cm clear glass tall lily vases for the quest table arrangements. Mirror plates, tealights, red and clear table diamonds completed the decorating and Fizzypop (email:jacqui_fisher@hotmail.co.uk) provided gorgeous red organza table runners, chair covers and red organza sashes (which I must say were tied to perfection...the best I have seen) to give the overall look that "Wow" factor.

As you can see from this image we used all white lilies as our focal flower, with some added interest with the pearl beaded grasses and two complimentary flowers, white lisianthus and white larkspur. To give a hit of colour to the displays we decorated the vases by using red organza and pearl beaded wire around the neck of the vase ...it was really effective.

The Tithe Barn is such a blank canvas. No two weddings we have ever undertaken have been the same here, and this one was no different. The tall vases filled the space perfectly and there was a good balance in the Red and White colour theme.

The Topiary Company supplied impressive large trees that were situated behind the oval top table. I adore these big illuminated trees, and the soft white crystal lights in the archways complete the look everytime. These are also supplied by Nigel @ The Topiary Company.

I particularly liked the finished look of this top table arrangement. We made this on site in situe just so we could get the proprtion and balance right for such a long shaped table. Terry Emment @ CJ Williams was the photographer today, and I am keeping my flower fingers crossed and hoping that we will be kindly sent some images from the day as he was taking some lovely shots. He also had some very exciting ideas to create a dynamic backdrop to the photographs...so as soon as I receive some examples of his work I will be posting them.
