60th Birthday Party in The Salon at The Grand Hotel

The Grand Hotel in St Annes was the perfect venue for this 60th Birthday celebration, the dinner party was held in The Salon where a long elegant dining table was set for 22 guests, the Birthday Boy had quite a few surprises not least a very special gift of a Caribbean Cruise!!! 

I think the flowers were a surprise too perhaps not quite on the same scale but hey!!! 

As this very special dinner party was for a gentleman's 60th Birthday we selected quite a masculine selection of flowers and colours

The flowers were arranged in cubes on square Mirrors down the centre of the table, we used a variety of sizes in order to give rhythm to the table designs

Each cube was set on it's mirror in a diamond shape, the crushed ice like jelly looked fabulous reflected in the mirrors, this one very simply incorporates blue Eryngium Thistle Super Nova

This Cube looks splendid with these pin cushion proteas

Cream Roses, Spider Man Grevillea, Green Anthuriums, Tulips, Sedum made up the collection of flowers used along the length of the table

The designs are all low making them the perfect choice for a convivial dinner party

Ruby Wedding Anniversary Flowers in The Salon at The Grand Hotel St Annes

Simple yet elegant, Red Gerberas and Germini's were arranged in small vases along the length of the table.

Each tiny posy was finished with either a Polka Dot or striped ribbon band

The Salon at The Grand is a fabulous space for intimate get together's

The red Gerberas were the perfect choice for a Ruby Wedding

A Very Special day at The Grand Hotel St Annes

The ceremony space was our first port of call, with beautiful chair and table dressings from Creative Cover Hire, Huge Vases of fresh white and green English garden flowers and a very elegant registrars table dressed with diamante encrusted vases of fresh blooms.These huge vases look so luscious, particularly filled with Delphinium Elatum, White Alliums, Hydrangeas, Peonies, Norma Jean Roses, Molucella and lots more loveliness
The small registrars table to the left of the main registrars table was dressed with just a few very carefully chosen vases of flowers set on mirrors
On the main registrars table I followed the ark of the table, each vase had a band of satin ribbon with a diamante buckle at the front
The little posies of flowers were tied with ivory satin ribbon
The Huge vases also had large diamante buckles on their satin bands around the centre of the vases, we also arranged small vases on the plinths they were standing on





We used a massive selection of flowers in these tiny posies, the beauty of this design isdefinitely down to the variety of flowers used.Sweet William, Roses, Hydrangeas
Calla Lilies, Sweet Peas, Peonies



The two bouquets were linked by fresh fragrant Lily of the Valley and one had Peonies and the other Sweet Peas again with the diamante buckle motif to finish






The fabulous girls on Reception Jenny & Jane

Abigail from Abigail & Eye fame it was great to work with them all day
& Sarah the "Eye" bit of Abigail & Eye
Just how gorgeous is this Sweet Pea & Lily of the Valley Wedding Bouquet
The Seating Plan was exquisite

The Wedding Breakfast was held in The Salon and it looked so elegant





The stationary was just sublime from Kimberley Card Craft

The cake was gloriously decorated with lots of Roses in different shapes and sizes








Brian from The Grand who is incidentally a bit of a hero of ours moved the huge vases through as Renske and I just couldn't quite manage it!



The table seated twenty five guests and was very intimate, I do love our Reflections table design it looks perfect on a table like this
