This was a very special wedding, one I felt very privileged to be involved with. I've known Serena for absolutely ages, more years than either of us care to remember, we did a few charity events together and Serena once said to me "When I get married, I'm going to get you to make my wedding flowers!" and true to her word she called me up last year and announced her plans to marry the super lovely Ian and we've been counting down to the big day ever since!!!

So it was my huge pleasure to present Serena and her lovely bridesmaids with their Bridal Bouquets
The lovely Serena was thrilled with her dramatic cascading bridal bouquet of Dendrobium & Phalaenopsis Orchids with Calla Lilies, Classic Hydrangeas and Black Baccara Roses
A little excitement and enthusiasm is always gratefully received.....
We showed all of the Bridesmaids how to carry their bouquets perfectly
Josie and I headed off to St James Church in Leyland to put some finishing touches to the decorations, our fabulous Bride had dressed the Lytch Gate, Porch and Pew ends herself and we just added some fresh elements
We attached a bundle of fresh Mistletoe to the Lytch Gate
Beautiful fresh Rose Petals lined the pathway
Two placements of fresh fragrant Bay, Eucalyptus, Pussy Willow and Spruce framed the front door and our candlelit lanterns provided a warm welcome for the guests as they arrived
Josie & I lined up the Boutonnieres ready to pin them on the all important guests
The Bride Groom's Ian's rather special white Rose and diamante sparkle Boutonniere
The Best Man's Black Baccara Rose Boutonniere
Serena's super handsome Bride Groom the very gorgeous Ian complete with his Boutonniere
The Bride Groom's Avalanche & Snowflake Rose Boutonniere
Josie & I pinned all of the Boutonnieres and corsages on their rightful owners ensuring perfect positioning
The beautiful Bridesmaids arrived in style, they were wearing rich burgundy gowns and fur shrugs![]()
The Bridesmaid's bouquets featured a plethora of our Bride Serena's own brooches and a collection of Roses, Berries, Hydrangeas and Snowflake Gypsophilia![]()

The guests were welcomed with a seasonal 'Poinsettia' Cocktail complete with candy canes
The Seating Plan featured Legendary Lovers as the table names
The tables were dressed with a combination of designs our fabulous Baroque candelabras created a majestic and romantic atmosphere
Our Enchanted Trees added an element of magic and dynamism
Candlelit orbs hug from the branches of the trees
Jewels and flowers dripped from the branches
Posies of fresh flowers in golden mercury vases dressed the table closest to the top table to ensure a clear view of the Bride & Groom during the speeches
All of the windowsills were dressed with the Bride's own hand decorated initials of the Bride & Groom
The traditional candlelit Top table design
Serena had thought of everything even perfumed room spray added to the atmosphere
Huge and massive thanks to the beautiful Serena and Ian for choosing Flower Design to create their wedding flowers for them
