Flowers for table decoration in June
Janet Galpin and Oliver Patterson1/1/04 11:00
I have a son getting married at the beginning of June and have been wondering whether I have time to grow anything suitable for a table decorations. He and his partner are very happy with something quite cottagey and simple. Scented would be good: they had wondered about lavender - but lack of time to grow it would be a problem. If not scented, then I guess annuals are likely to be the only possibilities. I haven't got much experience with annuals so any suggestions would be really gratefully received. Janet G One idea: when Ray and I got married in June 2000 we hit the same dilemma. It was more of a luncheon party than a wedding reception, so we wanted 'relaxed'. In the middle of the tables we had terracotta plant pots and saucers filled with his Nemesia Bluebird. You could have pots of Freesias, perhaps or Dianthus? As place name settings we had very small pots (just above plug size) with e.g. that Nemesia or a Million Bells and a plant label with the name of the person and a description of them as if they were a plant. For example, my mother who is hat mad and never leaves the house without wearing one, was described as "J....H....mother stock of the bridal plant: inclined to be rampant in millinery departments": a friend who plays a LOT of golf was described as "thrives in the rough" etc. It caused a lot of laughter and everyone took their own 'horticultural label' and plant home with them. It was a great deal of fun, thinking them all up, too! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the 'x' to email me) |
