November wedding flowers

Inspiration for a winter wedding

November was a busy month for weddings and it is a lovely time of year to get married. The autumn colours are still holding on yet we are starting to see the winter/spring flowers arriving so there is plenty to choose from. Below are 4 weddings from this November – all completely different!

Ha & Minh, The Grand Brighton

This was an intimate set up at The Grand with one long table full of flowers! We decorated one long table with candelabra full of roses and hydrangeas, shorter vases of flowers, tealights and a foliage and rose table runner.

Holly & Rick, Hotel du Vin Brighton

A gorgeously scented bouquet of eucalyptus, lavender, rosemary and waxflower with mixed foliages and succulents. Holly’s bouquet was full of texture and fragrance. Rick and the ushers had mini succulent buttonholes with a hint of dried lavender and eucalyptus to wear.

Charlotte & Guy, Pangdean Barn Brighton

This wedding took place at one of my favourite venues, Pangdean Barn. It’s a great venue for each season but I think really lends itself to Autumn as it has such a cosy feel with all of the twinkly fairy lights in the ceiling and the glow of the candles all around. This time of year is great as some of the winter spring flowers have started to arrive and you’ve also got some autumn treats going strong too. Below we have, orchids, spray roses, astilbe, roses, euphorbia, ranunculus, antirrhinum, alstroemeria and astilbe with a mix of beautiful Irish foliage including pittosporum and eucalyptus.

Jemma & Chris, Long Furlong Barn Worthing

On a gorgeous sunny day on the last weekend of November these two beauties tied the knot. Long Furlong Barn is such a beautiful venue with the most stunning views of the surrounding countryside! For Jemma’s bouquet we used some lovely winter flowers including anemones, tulips, white roses, calla lilies, chincherinchee and big glossy green leaves.

Winter Wedding flowers at Cissbury, Worthing

White and silver winter wedding inspiration

Winter wedding flowers – I love them! It’s so nice to really work with the seasons and Christmas is such a cozy and pretty time of year. Nicky and Chris had a gorgeous winter wonderland inspired wedding at Cissbury in Worthing. Their wedding took place on 22nd December so it was feeling very festive at Cissbury with their Christmas tree up! Flowers were a combination of whites and icy silvers with wintery foliages and seasonal branches.

We used a wintery mix of eucalyptus, white asapragus fern, silver birch branches, singapore orchids, white tulips, white ‘avalanche’ and ‘countdown’ roses, silver conifer foliage, white lisianthus.

The table centres were large flower arrangements placed on top of tall conical glass vases filled with Christmas baubles (Nicky had been gathering these throughout the festive season!) The theme was festive winter wonderland and we used loads of interesting foliages and textures to really represent the season. I love working with loads of different foliage, I find it brings the arrangements alive by adding movement and texture and also frames the blooms and stops them looking squished!

Autumn flowers at Patricks Barn Chiddinglye – Vivian & Sam

Rich berry shades and rustic foliage

I truly love working with the seasons and I’m pretty sure Autumn is my favourite (but ask me again in Spring and I might tell you something different!)  Vivian and Sam tied the knot in the beautiful gardens of the Chiddinglye estate, a gorgeous farm tucked away in Sussex with Patrick’s Barn ready and waiting onsite to hold a fabulous reception in. There’s the added bonus of having your food freshly prepared right next door by Becky who runs The Garden Chef (I strongly urge you to try her chocolate brownies, so good! Becky very kindly kept me fed whilst I was setting up!)

Vivian and Sam wanted the focus of their wedding to be seasonal blooms and full of luscious foliages, I was pretty happy to be allowed to get stuck in to rich Autumnal colours. Dahlias, amaranthus, euphorbia, roses, crocosmia, the most gorgeous colour cerise vanda orchids, a whole load of green goodness including asparagus and sword ferns and eucalyptus were all used to create a natural wild look with a pop of colour.

Vivian’s bouquet was a natural looking, cascading posy full of gorgeous greens and rich Autumn oranges and pinks.

The ceremony took place in the gardens and it was touch and go with the weather – but they did it and it looked amazing!

Patricks barn looking awesome, I love the colour of the lanterns against the flowers. The clever folk at Not Your Average I Do provided and installed the lanterns and fairy lights which really adds to the atmosphere of the barn.

I really enjoyed working on this wedding, congratulations to Vivian and Sam and thank you for choosing Bettie Rose!
