I can't tell you how much I'm going to miss these two, I've loved every minute of our meetings, huge congratulations to such a special couple...
Hayley & Michelle had prepared a brief and stunning Mood Board, their desire for a natural slightly gothic wedding was visually displayed, lots of woodland images, moss and candlelight featured, as did the pure White Phalaenopsis Orchids and stunning Black Calla Lilies, we showed them a collection of designs created exclusively for them, a realisation of their ideas, these two have worked so hard to bring this beautiful wedding together and we felt very honoured to have been a very small part of such a great day.

So after months of planning Jason and I dressed the Tithe Barn late into the evening the day before, there was so much detail, we needed to have enough time to "Set the Scene", Hurricane lamps surrounded by carpets of moss sprinkled with fresh Rose Petals and Skeleton leaves lined the aisle
Two of our magnificent Enchanted Trees framed the ceremony space perfectly
We'd dressed our trees with a plethora of foliage, White Phalaenopsis Orchids and Black Calla Lilies, candlelit Orbs hung from the branches creating a smattering of light
The Ceremony table was swathed in a carpet of moss with posies of Calla Lilies, Roses, Black Chilli Peppers, Phalaenopsis Orchids and fresh Rosemary with lots of lovely candlelit tea light votives and on the floor mirroring the table mosses and Rose Petals
Browsholme Hall is just so atmospheric, the lighting is seriously clever
Plumes of elegant Phaaenopsis Orchids
Candlelit Orbs
The Boutonnieres all featured a sprig of Rosemary, a piece of Tortured Hazel, an Akito Rose and a Skeleton Leaf
Michelle's Bouquet featured a plethora of Black "Canto" Calla Lilies with just a few "Picasso" Calla lilies, the Bridesmaid's Bouquets were smaller versions
Michelle was already looking gorgeous when our Ruby & Olivia presented her with her fabulous Bouquet
Hayley's Bouquet contrasted perfectly with long willowy branches of Tortured Hazel dressed with Phalaenopsis Orchids, Skeleton Leaves and Black Calla Lilies
In the heart of Hayley's bouquet fragrant Rosemary Canto Calla Lilies and Orchids all framed by Autumnal Quercus leaves
