I have to warn you dear reader this posting is bordering on self indulgence (Well perhaps a little more than bordering!!!), you see we had such a magnificent collection of fresh flowers to play/work with, we all felt so proud of the designs created that we did take rather a lot of images, so apologies in advance but some of these images are so good (The ones our Ruby took) you can almost smell sweet scents of the flowers!!!

We'll begin at the beginning with the presentation of the Bridal Bouquets

Our lovely Bride Andrea handles her fragrant Bridal Bouquet for the first time, it was such a hot day on Saturday and these bouquets felt cool to the touch

Oh yes the perfume was just divine

Andrea's Bridal Bouquet in soft shades of delicate pinks and ivories, I included, Lily of the Valley, Sweet Peas, Peonies in a plethora of pink and ivory varieties and David Austin's English Garden Roses

I did the all important Wedding Bouquet carrying lesson

Our stunning Bride & Bridesmaids were all naturals

The Bridesmaid's Bouquets were bound in the same fabric as their gowns

The fabulous Sonara Parker was doing her stuff with the make up on these lovely ladies

At the iconic Lytham St Annes Church St Cuthbert's the Lytch Gate was getting it's 20th dowsing with fresh water courtesy of our Josie

Inside the Pew end Posies of Roses and Hydrangeas were being attached to each alternate pew by the FD Events Team

Two elegant pedestals of Peonies, Hydrangeas, Roses and long plumes of Phalaenopsis Orchids in our silver chalices framed the ceremony space perfectly

On the Altar two "L" shaped designs framed the "Cross" perfectly, these designs were left in Church after the ceremony

The Boutonnieres were lined up ready to be pinned on to the jackets of the all important guests

Each Boutonniere was created individually, no two were the same, all were finished off with ribbon and a pearl pin
