Hot Pink Sweet Peas & Orchids in The English Lake District at Ozzie & Michelle's Intimate Garden Party Wedding Day

Now we've known Michelle and her lovely family for about twenty years Michelle went to and then taught at Arnold School in Blackpool where our two daughters were educated, we were on the PTFA with the lovely Tony & Marilyn, Michelle's parents. We were also lucky enough to create flowers for Ozzie's sister Sally & Thomas' wedding a few years ago and Best Man Martyn's wedding to the lovely Dani
Our relationship is built on solid foundations we are part of their story and they are part of ours  so what a huge honour it was to create the flowers for this very special wedding day!
