Adele & Phil Eccles "Pink & Pewter" Wedding at The Inn at Whitewell

Adele had her first experience of Flower Design back in May when she was a beautiful Bridesmaid for the gorgeous Nicola.
We were really excited when Adele called us to arrange an appointment to discuss flowers for her own wedding, the first meeting with our Sally went like a dream and the rest as they say is history.

First Stop Mitton Hall to deliver the Bridal Bouquets...

The thing about Adele is not only does she adore Phil but she is seriously devoted to fresh flowers, what more could a florist like me wish for?
I normally approach the delivery of the bridal flowers with an element of trepidation, butterflies in my tummy and all of those ridiculous doubts; Will she love it? Will her Mum Love her corsage? Will the Bridesmaids be serious Hay fever sufferers a detail omitted from appointments? Etc etc.
But no such concerns in this case I had no worries just complete excitement followed by utter exhilaration when I un-covered the bouquets, I dream of reactions like this to our work, so thank you Adele, you made my day!

Simple swags of fresh flowers and berries dress the small Lytch Gate, we added some illuminated lanterns to keeps insects at bay.

The very handsome Groom Phil

Phil's special Boutonierre of a Faith Rose, Champagne Grass, Eryngium, Inga berries and fresh Sedum, the overall look is vaguely autumnal yet befitting of an Indian Summer day.

The number one usher Tom, who seemed to be given more jobs than any other of the Groom's Men, I suspected he was the most responsible amongst them and a superb job he did too. Church Pedestal Design

St Michael’s at Whitewell is a simple small Church set in the most exquisite landscape, fresh flowers enhance the interior radically the scale is such that just a couple of well chosen designs and pew end decorations make a huge difference.

Fresh Pew End dressings; posies of fresh roses and Lissianthus

The Groom's Mum's Corsage in Cream & Chocolate Brown

This couple are superb, Phil was equally as enthusiastic if that were possible, he’s also a Burnley supporter unlike the marvelous Minister at St Michael’s who arrived sporting a Blackburn scarf, now truth be told I have no understanding of this phenomenon, but it certainly caused a stir amongst the Groom’s Men, not to mention a touch of hilarity.

I arranged lanterns with Rose Petals, Mosses & green Guordes in the entrance porch

Black & White Wrist Corsage

In Adele's Wedding Bouquet I included the full range of Pink & Ivory David Austin Roses together with pink Snowberry, Ivy Flowers, Fresh Black Dill, Inga Berries and thistles, I used a superb selection of silver grey foliages to frame the bridal bouquet

The Flower Design Seating Plan at the entrance to The Marquee at The Inn at Whitewell

The Marquee looked fabulous with

silver grey sashes on the chairs, we dressed the tables with a selection of designs in silver grey wrought Iron containers.

This table centre in a small garden urn was filled with fresh Blackberries, Amaranthus, Snowberries, Roses and herbs and foliages.

This one is arranged in a wide Bird Bath which looks fabulous on a 5ft table, the flowers and textures worked brilliantly, we also placed glass candelsticks on each table.

I Love this photograph
