Bridal Bouquets for Long Hill Weddings

Depending on season and availability, wedding flowers may include:

• Roses and garden roses
• Hydrangea

Ceremony Flowers at Long Hill

The Trustees currently offers several outdoor ceremony settings at Long Hill, including the Croquet Lawn, Summer Garden and Little Garden.

Depending on the couple’s plans and current property rules, Ward’s can provide:

• Ground-level floral arrangements
• Pedestal arrangements
• Ceremony-table flowers
• Welcome-sign flowers
• Reserved-family flowers
• Memorial-table arrangements
• Petal accents when permitted by the venue

Because Long Hill is also a historic garden property, couples should confirm all floral placement and décor requirements directly with The Trustees before finalizing their ceremony design.

Flowers for the Croquet Lawn

The Croquet Lawn is one of the current ceremony choices offered for Long Hill weddings.

Since the surrounding landscape already provides substantial natural greenery and color, floral pieces can be used selectively to define the ceremony area while allowing the garden itself to remain part of the design.

Ground arrangements or pedestal flowers can provide an attractive focal point without requiring large structural installations.

Summer Garden Wedding Flowers

Long Hill’s Summer Garden provides another garden ceremony setting. Seasonal flowers can be selected to complement rather than compete with the existing landscape.

Soft garden palettes, white-and-green flowers, pastel arrangements or brighter seasonal combinations can all work well depending on the couple’s wedding style.

Little Garden Ceremony Flowers

The Little Garden is another current ceremony option at Long Hill. For a more intimate garden setting, a few carefully placed arrangements may provide all the floral impact that is needed.

Ward’s can coordinate ceremony flowers with the bridal bouquet and reception centerpieces so the entire wedding has one consistent floral design.

Reception Centerpieces at Long Hill

Long Hill accommodates seasonal tented and outdoor wedding receptions. Current venue information lists receptions for up to 150 guests when dancing is included and up to 170 for receptions without dancing.

Depending on the number and style of guest tables, Ward’s can create:

• Low garden-style centerpieces
• Classic round centerpieces
• Hydrangea-based arrangements
• Rose and mixed-flower designs
• Loose seasonal arrangements
• Greenery-forward centerpieces
• Alternating centerpiece styles

Low-profile arrangements are especially practical for dinner tables because they add color and texture while preserving conversation and sightlines between guests.

Cocktail-Hour Flowers

Current Long Hill wedding information identifies the main porch and back terrace as potential cocktail-reception areas.

Smaller floral pieces may be appropriate for:

• Welcome tables
• Escort-card displays
• Cocktail tables
• Bar areas
• Guest-book tables
• Small accent tables

Welcome, Seating & Accent Flowers

Smaller arrangements can help connect the floral design throughout the event without requiring flowers everywhere.

Ward’s can create flowers for:

• Welcome tables
• Seating charts
• Escort-card tables
• Guest-book tables
• Gift tables
• Memorial displays
• Cake or dessert tables
• Other approved tabletop areas

Wedding Flowers That Complement the Gardens

Long Hill is also a public garden with mature trees, shrubs, perennial plantings and several distinct garden rooms.

Rather than trying to recreate the landscape with flowers, wedding florals can be designed to complement what is naturally in season. This can create a more cohesive look and allow the property itself to remain an important part of the wedding setting.

Rehearsal Dinner & Wedding-Weekend Flowers

Couples may need flowers for additional events surrounding the wedding. Ward’s can provide arrangements for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties and other wedding-weekend gatherings at Long Hill or another Beverly venue.

These may include:

• Rehearsal-dinner centerpieces
• Welcome-party flowers
• Bridal-luncheon arrangements
• Family dinner flowers
• Post-wedding brunch arrangements

Please provide a separate address and requested delivery time for each event location.

The Trustees also makes its properties available for private functions beyond weddings. Flowers can be appropriate for a confirmed anniversary, milestone celebration, professional event, fundraiser or other approved gathering.

Ward’s can provide:

• Dining-table centerpieces
• Welcome arrangements
• Presentation bouquets
• Recognition flowers
• Flowers for special guests
• Small accent arrangements
