Magical & Wild Wedding at Hoghton Tower: Candice & John
Candice & John, aah every time I think about these two a smile creeps on my face, I think possibly it's the John bit that makes me smile the most, not that Candice isn't completely gorgeous and utterly smile worthy but, well, John holds a special place in my heart, besides the fact that he is super handsome he's also just so, well, so John! John and I are old friends, he was Best Man at his equally lovely Brother Paul & Rebecca's wedding last year in Lytham (Link). We share a secret from that glorious day John & I, that just makes me smile, alot! I can't share it as that would be betraying a confidence, but lets just say it all "Ended Happily Ever After"

Inspite our chequered history, John together with his beautiful Bride arrived on our doorstep to begin their own floral adventure, a foray into the world of floral wonderment, where rules are made to be broken as long as it fits your own style, John & Candice, have style by the bucket load, it's fab, it's a little quirky, but it's definitely them and I for one loved it!
Wool featured greatly, as did Birds (The feathered variety), a Wildness and a Naturalness that looked very much at home amid the stone and heritage of Hoghton Tower.

The Great Hall was transformed back into a banqueting hall, the top table was the exact table that a loin of beef was knighted to become "Sir Loin" many moons ago
The Verdi candelabras were dressed with Mushrooms, Slipper Orchids, Mosses, Echiveras, Grasses and fragrant Herbs
I loved their fabulous Cake
