Every Wedding we do, we feel so privileged to be involved, however when we get the opportunity to create flowers for someone very special to us our feelings are off the scale. Yesterday we had the huge honour of seeing our former "Saturday Girl" the truly beautiful Charlotte marry the love of her life Chris at St Cuthbert's. I make no excuses for the ridiculous length of todays posting I just couldn't edit it down there was quite simply a plethora of beauteousness.....
Charlotte came to work with us when she was still at school she has always been beautiful, always a joy and pleasure to work with, she is however famous at FD Events for creating the revolutionary drink "Tea Coffee" perfumed with lemon having washed out the kettle with Stardrops, who would have believed back then that she would become the super confident and mega capable entrepreneur (Charlotte is the brilliant Stationery designer Charlotte Designs) and all round great girl she is today, we are all so very proud of her many achievements not least choosing Chris to be her husband.

Inside the Windsor Suite at Bartle Hall
Our beautiful Crystal Candlesticks and Cake stands topped with a myriad of the most exquisite and sweet scented English garden blooms
Around the base of the tall crystal candlesticks posies of fresh flowers and floating candles dressed the table tops so prettily
The Top table was probably one of the longest I've ever seen, we'd dressed it with a collection of vintage crystal vessels each one filled with posies of fresh fragrant blooms and candlesticks and floating candles
The stationery by Charlotte Designs was simply sublime
Our fabulous Crystal Cake stands topped with bosoms of Peonies, Roses, Sweet Peas, Orchids, Astilbe and Tuberosa
There were more than a few tears from all of us when Charlotte and Chris came into the room and saw the magical setting for the very first time
Stunning and delicious Wedding Cake created by the lovely folks at Thornton Cake Company
There was just so much to take in...
