For some inspiration for Gaynes Park Summer Wedding flowers, take a look at this stunning wedding. Photographed by Julia & You, August 2024.
About Gaynes Park
Surrounded by British countryside and woodland, this superb, family-owned country wedding venue is ideal for couples seeking a secluded, exclusive-use venue to host their celebrations from the wedding ceremony through to the reception and overnight accommodation. We are very proud to be one of the recommended suppliers at Gaynes Park.
Gaynes Park Summer Wedding flowers
Gaynes Park Summer Wedding flowers – Whimsical, romantic and summery. Emily and Evan chose a dusty blue, pearl and gold colour palette as they wanted to go for a modern, sophisticated vibe, but with little accents of our personality and summer feel.
Dream wedding day
Emily said our dream day would be a scene straight from a fairytale, but with that modern twist. They thing they mostly looking forward to just having all of our friends and family with us to celebrate our day. We can’t wait to have everyone we love together to have an amazing day and make some great memories. Emily & Evan first met at university in 2014 and have been together for 10 years, this November. We met on a cliche night out, thanks to our mutual friend Sam, and the rest is history!
Bridal Flowers
Fluffy, textured florals like hydrangeas and thistles, with simple, traditional elements such as roses and gypsophila to tie everything together. Emily chose a cascade bouquet for her bridal bouquet with ivory Roses and using the delphiniums and thistles to bring in the blue. For the bridesmaids Emily chose a simple design of just gypsophila.
Buttonholes
Roses are always a good choice for buttonholes. They are elegant and timeless and last well out of water. For this wedding we chose Ivory rose framed with a little green leaf for the boys and for the Groom we added a little delphinium and thistle along with the rose and foliage.
Ceremony flowers
The Orangery is a beautiful setting for the official ceremony. It lies at one end of the Victorian Walled Garden, where roses, mature trees, herbaceous borders and a charming wrought-iron pavilion provide a romantic backdrop for your Essex civil wedding, drinks reception and those all-important photographs.
Multi Purpose arrangements
Having both the ceremony and reception at the same venue means that we can design florals that work in both spaces. In the ceremony area first and then transferable to the reception area after both top table and guest tables. This avoids waste ♻️ and stretches your styling budget that bit further. Win Win!
Here’s how we re-purposed:-
Two of the high table arrangements were used in the orangery first behind the ceremony table using our hired plinths and urns. Making a dreamy backdrop for your photos. .
The bud vases from the low table designs were used on the back wall.
The same design was used on both the ceremony table and top table.
The Wedding Breakfast
The Mill Barn is an impressive brick and beamed Listed wedding barn. The barn is supported by four great tree trunks and has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the pretty courtyard, allowing sunlight to flood in. The neutral décor lends itself to a variety of wedding themes and colours.
Emily & Evan chose a combination of high and low level designs for the guest tables. A mix of high and low is always a winner and gives so much more interest in the room, having pretty florals above and below the eyeline. The High level designs were used in the ceremony area first as “Statement florals” making the perfect picture backdrop and focal point for all the wedding guests.
The low level designs combined pretty florals with candles and glassware. You can’t go wrong with that combination!
Hire package
Our prop hire range enhances your flower decor. Cost effective and sustainable, save you time and money sourcing from multiple areas and avoids single use! Delivery and next day collection is included in the hire price. Fresh flowers are yours to keep. We come back the next day to collect the hired items.
