Jenni and Chris at Peckforton Castle

Jenni and Chris

We just love working at Peckforton Castle so it was like our dream come true when Jenni wanted to go all out and have some of our higher end designs incorporated within her ceremony, and then in her reception.  

As far as bride and grooms go, Jenni was  one of the most laid back brides we have ever had the pleasure of working with so creativity for the designs easily came.  Chris was briefly involved at the last minute in purely a logistical sense, but other than that, he did what most grooms did and nodded in the right place and made all the right noises...  (good move Chris)..

You will have to settle for civil ceremony pics though as the reception room is turned around in the middle of the day..

The Bridal Bouquet

Avalanche Roses with Calla Lillies adorned with Pearl detail.

The bridesmaids held a handtied bouquet of Calla Lillies wrapped in a chocolate brown satin ribbon.

And here is where it all happened.  The Grand Hall.  Jenni chose our Floral Fantasy designs for her table centres and we decided that they would look a treat at the ceremony first.  Other decorations in here included chair covers, topiary trees and columns.  The bride provided her own garland which was artificial but looked fabulous.

And now for the real life pictures.  Jenni looks exquisite, I am sure you agree.  

And her she is with all the bridesmaids and groomsmen and of course, Chris the groom.

And here is the Mother of the Bride looking fabulous wearing her corsage that we designed for her.

Jenni and Chris, thank you for choosing us to be your florist and venue deocrator.  We know that it is a big decision and you had lots of choice and we appreciate your trust.  We hope you liked what we did.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Lyon

Are you all white?

Well, what can I say.... it's been a while. I have really let my blog down lately but I am back now and will endeavour to catch up with a lot of the wedding work we have done since the last blog.

Sometimes the flowers just take over.....

I thought I would sort the last few months out in colour order, otherwise I would never get them all on.  

So, nice whites and ivories to start with...

Handtied bouquet with Avalanche Roses, Spray Roses, Freesia and Gypsophelia.

White Calla Lillies and Green Roses

Donna is one of my best friends so I was thrilled when she told me she was getting married and better still, she wanted me to do the flowers.  To be fair, I dont think she actually had much choice unless she could put up with me sulking!!

The only thing that topped that was when she asked my daughter to be bridesmaid...  we were both thrilled..

Anyway, pictures here are from Andrea Ellison Photography and this blog will be topped up with more when they come through.

This picture was taken by me by the way....

Red Roses on Valentines Day

So when Debbie came in and announced that she was getting married and wanted Red Roses, no problem.  Then she dropped the bombshell that she was getting married on valentines day..... whole different matter!!  So, I told her she could have alternatives but no, she was adament.  I am so glad she stuck to her guns as her choice of flowers were fantastic, so different yet so stylish.    So, she paid more than she would have usually but I think it was worth it.

Have a look how beautiful my valentines day bride and groom look....

Congratulations.... and thank you for choosing About Flowers to do your wedding flowers..
