A Sublime Vintage Wedding Day for Joanne & Phil at Ribby Hall

Now if ever there was a more excited Bride than the lovely Joanne I haven't met her, Joanne was without doubt the most enthusiastic, excited and totally ridiculously happy Bride I think I've ever had the pleasure of working for, I say that knowing I have the honour of creating flowers for some of the worlds most excited Brides, but Joanne, well you'll see was quite literally bursting with joy!!!.... But before I introduce you to Jo I'll show you some of her fabulous flowers.

Jo's gorgeous wedding bouquet, I created it in vintage shades with vintage blooms including the many silky layered English garden Roses from David Austin Keira & Rosalind, the frills and froth of green and pink Bouvardia "Green Magic"and the delicately lacey and utterly decadent Lily of the Valley.
