Flower Ideas for you Outdoor Wedding AisleFlower Ideas for your Outdoor Wedding Aisle

There are dozens of different ways to style your outdoor aisle with wedding flowers, and recently we showcased a number of different options at Silchester House in order to give you ideas and inspiration when it comes to planning the floral décor at your own outdoor wedding.

Large jars filled with a mixture of pink and peach roses and bright green alchemilla mollis hung with pastel coloured ribbon from shepherd’s crooks secured in to the ground.  However, if you prefer to walk own the aisle with twinkly candles on either side, hanging white lanterns could be an alternative option.  Large hurricane lantern lining the aisle are also a popular choice but to enhance the look – jars on the grass, dotted between each lantern could complete your outdoor wedding style.

Last weekends bride and groom were trying to dodge the rain and make a decision whether to have their wedding inside or outside.  At Froyle Park you have the choice of a ceremony in the Great Hall with this magnificent staircase, or outside under the gazebo with views over stunning parkland.  Flower choices included pale pink calla lilies, coral coloured Miss Piggy roses, Peach Avalanche roses, and very pale peach Vendella roses, bombastic spray roses, with peach lisianthus and a selection of mixed foliages.

More photos will follow soon.
