I had such a fabulous day at The Great Hall at Mains, Kate and Gareth's Wedding really was such a joy, seriously festive, lots of exquisite Winter Blooms, Evergreens, Fir Cones and Berries complete with heady Christmassy fragrances.

Kate together with her Mum & Dad and all of the Bridesmaids were getting ready in the Manor House next door to The Great Hall, which is where I found them to present the Bouquets and pin on their respective Boutonniere and Corsage
The all important FD Events Bouquet carrying lesson...
Next door at The Great Hall at Mains, the scene was set with a tree and lantern lined aisle
Glass Christmas Baubles were either illuminated by tea lights or filled with fresh flowers
A Glass Christmas Bauble filled with sweet scented Paper Whites, hanging from the Branches of our Enchanted Trees
An Avenue of six of our Enchanted trees each one dripping in Jewels and Glass Baubles filled with fresh flowers or illuminated by tea light candles
We'd dressed the Christmas Tree with over a hundred silver and white baubles and dressed the Registrars table with posies of fresh flowers
Posies of fresh Winter blooms decorated the main Registrar signing table
The fabulous Groom's Mum was wearing a lovely ensemble in Emerald Green and Midnight Blue we'd created a corsage of Snowflake Roses and Ranunculas with Viburnum Tinus Berry
The Groom's Men were each presented with a Boutonniere of Senecio, Ranunculas and Viburnum Berries finished with pearl grey and ivory Ribbon![]()

The Bridesmaids Posies of White Hydrangeas and White Ranunculas were the perfect contrast to the pewter grey gowns

The beautiful Flower Girl carried a grey wash basket dressed with corsages and filled with fresh Rose Petals, we also created a wrist corsage of white Ranunculas for her too.
Our lovely Flower Girl was also wearing fresh flowers in her hair

Huge Congratulations to Gareth and Kate from all of the team at Flower Design Events
The professional photographer for the day was the lovely Steve Rooney from Natural Touch Photography Southport, we've worked with him a couple of times this year and he really is a pleasure to be around, we're looking forward to seeing his images
The great folks from Twelve Event Management provided the delicious catering
Some very special Christmas visitors surprised all the guests, two beautiful Reindeers from Cheshire Reindeer Lodge
Whilst everyone was enjoying their Champers, Canapes and Reindeers a transformation was taking place in The Great Hall, the tables were dressed with a combination of high and low table designs.
Our fabulous Enchanted Trees were sat on mirrors and surrounded by Tea Lights and Fir Cones, each tree was dripping with diamante jewels, tea light and flower filled baubles
Our low design was just gorgeous again sat on a mirror plate, a glass cake stand filled tiny fir cones topped with a sculpted design of Contorted Hazel, Arabicum Chincherinchees, Hydrangeas, Roses, Christmas Roses, Ranunculas, Paper Whitesand a plethora of Succulents, Evergreens and Berries
I loved this top table design illuminated by glass candlesticks and mirrored milk glass tea light votives, glass cloches protected Fir Cones, small posies of fresh flowers and cinnamon sticks completed this stylish design
The Bridal Bouquet took pride of place in the centre of the top table
