Sonya & Ben Hynes' Spectacular Manchester Art Gallery Winter Wedding

We've known Ben for many, many years and Sonya for slightly less years, but it really was our honour and privilige to be asked to create their bridal flowers...

~

Sonya's wedding bouquet was inspired by the fabulous still life oil paintings in gilt frames at Manchester Art Gallery the venue for their splendid wedding

~

We included Mokara Dinisii Orchids, Phalaenopsis Orchids in three shades, Fresh Lily of the Valley, Passion Roses, Mimi Eden spray Roses and lots of berries in Sonya's wedding bouquet that was framed within a golden filigree frame

The marriage ceremony was to take place in the Valette & Lowry Gallery

Katarina was putting the finishing touches to the Registrars table design whilst the chair covers were being put on.

We used fabulous Smilax and Vanda Orchids, Cymbidium & Phalaenopsis Orchids in the FD Ghost Trees

The Glass Bridge that connects the galleries and is above the area where the reception was to be held, was dressed with fabulous swags of contorted willow, Paphiopedilum Orchids, trails of Hoya, Leucospernum and all sorts of loveliness

This space really does inspire great design

Manchester Art Galley is a truly sensational, modern wedding venue space, we were totally inspired by the architecture and the art, Marie and all of the staff were really attentive and very helpful to us, it was fantastic to work there.
