Wedding show £1500 offer – Spring 2024
We hope that you enjoyed our beautiful styling of the Orangery in the theme of floral meadows. To celebrate our new blossom and flower trees, we’ve put together an amazing luxury wedding collection based on this very romantic flower meadow theme. Our Great Fosters flower meadow collection is perfect if you’re planning your wedding at Great Fosters and are after stunning whimsical and meadow-style wedding flowers. All the fresh flower meadows and bud vases are made bespoke just for you to blend in with your chosen colours.
Why choose this look? Apart form the best reason that it is one the prettiest looks we’ve put together and is bang on the latest trends, the flower meadow offer gives you incredible value and amazing bang for your buck! While wedding party flowers are a significant part of every bride’s wedding flowers budget, the ceremony and the venue flowers and decor including the table centrepieces, will be what most of your budget will need to go on since they typically use far more flowers, to dress big spaces. This is where the costs usually start adding up, especially if you have a lot of guests and guest tables and if you are needing to dress the ceremony space as well as the wedding tables.
This is where our Great Fosters Flower Meadow offer can help get impressive results, for up to 13 tables / ca 130 guests.
The displays are all designed to work hard throughout the different stages of the day – first used for the wedding ceremony in the Orangery, and then again for your wedding breakfast in the Tithe Barn. The statement flower trees or cherry blossom trees, which are so incredibly romantic, add much impact within both rooms and both look fantastic against the beautiful dark oak paneling of the Tithe Barn. The hanging glass candlelights add a stunning romantic glow to the tables later on in the evening.
What’s included?
6 luxury blossom tress or flower trees with hanging glass bauble votives – to be reused as table centrepieces in the centre of the barn &
6 aisle floor meadows – to be reused as table centrepieces on the tables under the eaves, giving you a total of 12 round table centrepieces.

Equally any remaining trees can be used to add extra decor around the venue.
For the ceremony table, where you will be signing, it includes a set of 6 just-picked pretty bud vases of fresh flowers and selection of candleholders and votives. Dotted along the ceremony table or clustered at each side, this leaves room for your bouquet to be placed on the table while you are signing the wedding register. Later on, these can all be beautifully repurposed on the long top table, along with your bouquets, in matching vases to keep them all fresh to enjoy more after the wedding.
At the bottom of the ceremony table which can be round or rectangular, are 3 romantic large floor meadows of enchanting meadow-style fresh flowers. blended together, to dress the front of the ceremony table. Later on these can be reused around your cake table, or along the base of the long top table or on the Minstrel Galley, along with the lanterns from the wedding aisle. It’s your wedding so you can decide how to best reuse these later on.
Not forgetting the wedding aisle, aside from the 6 beautiful floor meadows of fresh flowers, there will also be a choice of 8 elegant gold or silver lanterns, or 8 trios of floating candle cylinder vases. We add the dreamy tule styling of the wrought iron lecturn and a handy post box on hire for your wedding cards, so that you’ve got your wedding decor essentials all taken care of.
What size wedding will the wedding flowers offer cover? Our £1500 show offer is designed to suit weddings up to 130 guests, seated on a top table and up to 12 other round tables – for example 6 guest tables, in the middle of the To the Barn and another 6 tables under the eaves of the Tithe Barn. If you are planning for more guests and therefore more tables, you can of course add additional centrepieces to your order and we can let you know how much this will be. If you have slightly fewer guest tables, the spare flowers can usually be put to good use to style key areas of your venue, such as the Painted Hall or the entrance foyer.
Can I add other things to this? Yes of course. You can also add your wedding party flowers such as bouquets and buttonholes, hair flowers and mums’ corsages, for more inspiration on these, pleaser take a look at our bridal party gallery or look through our journal of featured weddings.
You can also add for example some amazing statement pieces if you’d like something grander as a ceremony backdrop. Our arches start at £250 to hire and would make a perfect addition to the meadow style wedding. Choose from 5 available – a rustic blossom arch, a pure blossom square arch, a romantic garden arch or our modern or foliage Moongate arches.
We also LOVE the blossom arches we created for the beautiful arched windows behind the ceremony area. If you would like to hire these they are just £150 in total.
Please contact us for these additional cost for the fresh flower meadows in front of the central window. These range from £200 to £300 depending on how wide and extensive you wish to make them. Depending on what you would like to use at the front of your ceremony area, be this the blossom trees which are included with the meadow offer, or one of the statement arches, the floor meadows width and coverage can be customised to best suit your needs.
Delivery, collection and set up costs are not included as this is dependent on where you are having your wedding party flowers delivered to, but if the whole delivery is to come to Great Fosters, the cost for delivery, the set-up, coming back at the end of the ceremony to repurpose the flowers ready for the wedding breakfast and subsequent collection of all the hired items, would be £150.
