FLOWERS FOR WEDDINGS & CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS:
Flowers play a major role in weddings and involve a lot of careful and meticulous planning.
Manor House Flowers work closely with their clients to choose and create bridal bouquets and floral decorations for their chosen venue.
In our experience, we find that many couples celebrate their wedding in Church and flowers play a very important role in that celebration and they often want to dress the Church in flowers.
Every Church is unique and different and there are many areas where flowers can be arranged easily and simply to great effect.
LYNCHGATES:
Dressing the Lynchgate or entrance to the churchyard with flowers is a way of welcoming your guests to your marriage ceremony.
There are a variety of ways to dress a Lynchgate or a wrought iron gate.
The most popular design for a Lynchgate is to make an arch of flowers on the top following the line of the shape of the gate. Traditional 'gate shovells' can also be place on the gate using fresh green foliage and flowers to get that perfect effect. A photographer's dream picture opportunity!
CHURCH DOORWAYS:
The doorway is another area that can be dressed either with an archway, pedestal or topiary trees either side.
Some clients prefer to have a half moon arch over the Church door to accentuate the top of it. These are often attached softly to the stone work or wood and are visually stunning.

WINDOWSILLS:
Many Churches have porches and flowers can be place either side in Church stonework or on windowsills.
They are a popular choice for wedding flowers.

THE FONT:
A wonderful and poignant feature of any Church as you enter through the main door.
Many fonts are vary ornate and elaborate and make an excellent focal point.
They can be decorated with flowers around the base and the top with pretty garlands of flowers. Garlands can also be place around the top.
A cascading font can also be created with beautiful voiles of fresh ivy flowing from a grand centre piece.
CHURCH PILLARS;
Many Churches have pillars on either side of the aisle which can be dressed with garlands of delicate flowers.
The Pulpit and Church lectern can also be dressed with garlands of flowers.
TABLE TOP DECORATIONS
Our wedding table decorations will brighten your wedding reception venue - whether it be a civic hall, community centre or stately home. Whatever you choose for your wedding reception flowers
CHURCH PEWS:
If you decide to place bouquets of flowers on the pew ends, we recommend that the flowers be placed either side of every other pew as this gives the best visual effect.
Other simple arrangements, like single flowers and ribbons can be placed on every pew end.
There are many combinations that can be utilised to give maximum visual effect to pew ends, particularly if the Church is large
Apart from flowers, you can use matching organza voile bows to match the colour of your bridesmaids dresses; satin or organza ribbon; tiny boules of Gypsophyllia; pearl hearts and a variety of other wedding accessories could be used to decorate the pew ends.

ROOD SCREENS:
Some older Churches have a Rood Screen separating the main part of the Church and the Choir and High Altar.The Rood Screen itself or the Choir Stalls can be dressed with flowers giving a very imposing effect.
