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.

More than just flowers....

As you are aware here at The Flower Lounge we have a fantastic range of fresh flowers but did you know that we are much more than that...??
We try our very best to source a varied range of unusual vases and sculptures. With prices starting at £1.50 there's something for most tastes and budgets.
The silver lanterns are very popular, they can be used inside or out to give a subtle glow with candlelight.


Our fantastic 'hanging vases' by a Belgium company proved to be very popular and sold out within a few days. We are expecting another couple in later this week so watch this space.....


Our gorgeous range of Candles consist of 14oz glass jars, 6oz candle tins, reed diffusers and boxed sets of 3 votive candles are arriving soon. With fragrances such as White flowers, Fresh linen, Fig and herb, Baby powder and Tropical pineapple there's something for everybody.






These gorgeous individual 'birds nest' vases are lovely for Easter gifts. They are simple and only need one flower head in them so they don't break the bank to keep them looking lovely.



Our jewellery is made by a local designer and is made of silver and semi precious stones. The range includes Necklaces, Earrings and Bracelets and all come in lovely little gift boxes.

Winter Wedding




I would like to share some photos of Sally and Dave's winter wedding that we did at The Great John Street Hotel in December.

Their theme was aubergine so for Sally's bouquet we used Schwartzwalder calla lilies and Crystal Blush calla lilies for the adult bridesmaid. A siple calla lily wand was used for the flower girl.
The Great John Street Hotel is a gorgeous boutique hotel in Manchester so didn't need much in the way of venue dressing. We discussed a few ideas but then opted for an elegant candleabra in shades of purple and white.
Everybody looked gorgeous and the colours suited the hotel perfectly.
Congratulations to you both x
