Wedding Decorations

In recent years, Chester Garden Club has had a number of requests from the community for help in creating floral arrangements for special occasions.  Last summer, a few members had the pleasure of decorating the historic Captain’s House at the request of a Chester bride whose wedding reception was held at the inn.
In the morning, working quickly with floral material gathered from local gardens, Myra and Margaret began sorting the different types of foliage and blooms to use in containers destined for both outside and indoors.
Containers of various sizes were used to create floral arrangements for the tables set up inside the dining room.
Joined by Brenda and Sidney, the team used several tall standards flanking the edge of the large deck to create cascading arrangements of delicately coloured blooms that epitomized the light and airy spirit of summer in a seaside village.
By the time the wedding party and their guests arrived from the church, the entrance to the inn had been enhanced with garlands hanging from the wrought iron railings and overflowing floral arrangements in large baskets on either side of the stone steps. Encouraged by the bride’s appreciation, the Club has accepted another commission for a wedding to be held in Chester in the coming summer.
