Victoria's vintage inspired pink rose wedding flowers at St James' church in Didsbury and Stock restauant in Manchester

 
In September we got the opportunity to work at the very lovely St James' church in Didsbury which is not very far from us and is a gorgeous church. Victoria and Andy then headed to Stock restaurant in Manchester for their wedding breakfast and reception.
 
 
 
Victoria wanted a vintage inspired bouquet to compliment her dress. We used gorgeous David Austin roses, garden style roses and Sweet Avalanche roses.
 
 
We added a very special personal touch with lace taken from Victoria's Mum's wedding dress and a brooch which was sentimental to Victoria.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 As a nod to Andy's Scottish roots the men wore kilts and Andy's side of the family had thistles included in their buttonholes.
 
 
The table centres at Stock were candelabras with a ball of roses to compliment the bouquets and chunky candles to compliment the venue.

We wish Victoria and Andy the very best.

Thornton manor Wedding Venue Flowers

Thornton Manor is a gorgeous wedding venue set out on the Wirral.
Louise and Chris got married last year and whilst sorting out some photos on my computer I realised I hadn't blogged this wedding which is a shame as it was a lovely wedding and a real pleasure to do their flowers.


Louise said that she wanted the flowers to look 'scruffy' and 'wild'.
For her bouquet we used ivory peonies, 'Patience' David Austin roses, long, flowing sweet peas, Veronica and lots of lovely foliages.


In the entrance we used tall white larkspur to create height and then a loose, flowing design in a rustic style urn to complement the venue's styling.



We did a large floor standing candleabra on either side of the registrars table and each chair had a flower design on to line the aisle.


Candleabra were used on each table with each design being a little different to the next.


The top table had a selection of hurricane vases and tealights with draped hanging amaranthus, long trailing sweet peas and clusters of flower heads.



I hope you've enjoyed looking at the photos of the wedding as much as we enjoyed doing the flowers.

Knowsley Hall Wedding

On Saturday 8th May we did Saif and Christine's wedding at Knowsley Hall. It was a gorgeous sunny day and everybody was in good spirits.

To greet the guests there was a red carpet finished off with 2 bay trees with white roses interspersed in them.

On either side of the registrars table there were floor standing candleabra decorated with a chunky collar of white and green flowers including roses, stocks, phlox, lilies, peonies and hanging amaranthus to name a few.

The aisle was lines with perspex plinths with flower heads threaded on to wire with white and green arrangements on the top complete with a chunky pillar candle. It looked gorgeous-very fairy tale.


The registrars table with floor standing candleabra on either side.



The dining room was brimming with flowers with candleabra table centres on each table, fireplace designs and arrangements on side tables.



Candleabra table centres with chunky collars of flowers around the arms and base of the design, linked with foliage. Here we have used a variety of white flowers including roses, stocks, phlox, peonies, lilies and lots of different foliage's to give a nice textured design.





The fireplaces were decorated with chunky garlands of flowers interspersed with candles.
I will update with photos of the bridal party very soon. Everybody had a fantastic day and it was fantastic to work with such a lovely couple. I wish them all the very best x

Manchester Town Hall 27th March

We were lucky enough to do the wedding flowers for the lovely Kate and Rohit at Manchester Town Hall on Saturday 27th March, they were a lovely couple to work with.


Kate chose a beautiful compact, textured design of white flowers including white roses, white phlox, ranunculus, sweet peas, stocks and rosemary. The flowers smelt gorgeous!

For Rohit's buttonhole we incorporated a white rose with some rolled petals and a few pieces of phlox to compliment Kate's bouquet beautifully.


The cake flowers complimented the theme of the wedding with a simple white roses, phlox and rosemary design on the top tier of the cake.

In the Old Council Chamber where the wedding ceremony was held, they chose 2 floor standing candleabra, one for either side of the registrars table. These were then moved to either side of the top table for the wedding breakfast.


The table centres complimented the theme of white and brown beautifully with the cappuccino foliage rolled within the designs. The Great Hall at Manchester Town Hall worked really well with the tall candleabra, with such tall ceilings it looked beautiful.



The scent as you walked in to the room was fantastic, the stocks, phlox, maroussia roses all have heavy scents so they worked really well in such a large room.





We would like to wish Kate and Rohit all the best. we look forward to seeing the official pictures when they return from their honeymoon.
