We loved working with Emma to create her wedding flowers, she put together the most exquisite Mood Board in rich jewel tones, featuring Game Birds, English Country Houses and the great out doors with a bit of Downton Abbey thrown in for good measure.

It really was a huge pleasure putting together these fabulously rich tones and textures, Emma's Wedding Bouquet was intended to look as if it had been gathered on a country walk in an Autumnal wood I included lots of "Backen" style ferns, Autumn Leaves, Pheasant, Grouse and Partridge feathers, contorted Hazel, Seed Heads, Grasses, Thistles, Berries and fresh Herbs alongside a plethora Roses, Classic Hydrangeas, Lissianthus & Delphiniums
Jason & our Ruby presented Emma's Wedding Bouquets and delivered the FD Events Bouquet carrying lesson
Our beautiful Bride was an absolute natural at Bouquet carrying
I wanted the bouquet to have a truly natural vibe complicated shapes, light and shade with an utterly earthy feel in direct contrast to Emma's beautiful wedding gown
Emma looked utterly breathtaking, a classical beauty with exquisite taste
Emma's beautiful Bridesmaid carried a smaller simpler version of the Bridal Bouquet, we covered the handle with midnight blue ribbon enveloped in black lace to match her gown perfectly
The Bride Groom's rather special Boutonniere incorporated Partridge Feathers, Rosemary, Ferns, Grasses, the most exquisitely perfect Amnesia Rose with a Thistle, Viburnum Tinus and Delphinium Volkerfrieden
The seriously lovely Bride's Father was wearing a Boutonniere of Eryngium Thistles with Viburnum Tinus Berries, Rosemary, Scabious and Champagne Grass, which complimented his midnight blue tie
Each of the Groom's Men were wearing different ties in jewel colours and we created Boutonnieres to tone or contrast perfectly
A Boutonniere of lovely Tamango Rose buds with Lissianthus Buds Rosemary, Viburnum Tinus and Feathers
A Beautiful Boutonniere with an Akito Rose, Rosemary, Thistle and Viburnum Tinus, bound with deep blue Ribbon and tied up with earth jute
Mum's Corsage of Rolled Amnesia and Avalanche Rose Petals, Blue Eryngium and Classic Hydrangeas
The Boutonnieres were all lined up ready to be pinned on
Each Boutonniere was finished off individually and all of them included Partridge or Grouse feathers
The Groom's Mum Looked lovely and her Corsage matched her "Grape" coloured ensemble
The very elegant and beautiful "Usherette" was wearing a lovely emerald green gown we'd created a Wrist Corsage in pale green blooms to compliment
The Clifton Arms is a truly magnificent venue steeped in old world charm with just enough modernity to keep it fresh and vibrant, the service their really is second to none, the fabulous Victoria and Bernard do a wonderful job

The Ceremony Room overlooks this beautiful landscape, our Bride & Groom would be exchanging vows in the bay window framed by two of our "Baroque" style Candelabras, the Registrars table dressed with a candlelit swag of beautiful Delphiniums, Roses and Hydrangeas
Our Baroque Candelabras overloaded with autumnal magnificence Purple Amethyst Calicarpo, Ruby Red Rose Hips, Black Opal Viburnum Tinus, Garnet Red Skimmia and Pearly White Snowberries were like glistening jewels, all glossy and glorious
The Chairs were dressed by the great folks at Creative Cover Hire in a selection of vibrant shades, we'd arranged posies of fresh flowers on alternate Chairs lining the aisle
Deep Blue Delphinium, Purple Lissianthus, Black Bacra & Creamy Vendella Roses with Rose Hips and Thistles with Bracken like Coral Fern
The two Mum's looked so lovely and their corsages matched their ensembles perfectly
