Kelly & Christopher's Beautiful Vintage Wedding Day at Samlesbury Hall

I have a little "Blog Posting"catching up to do, I thought I may have a chance on holiday last week but I just couldn't get a good enough wifi connection, so apologies for the tardiness of my postings...

Today's posting features the beautiful wedding of Kelly & Christopher, so much thought, care and preparation went into this stunning day, we all loved Kelly's fabulous Mood Board which inspired our work so much

Kelly along with her lovely Mum and Bridesmaids were all getting ready in "The Bridal Lodge" which is where Ruby and Josie presented our Bridal Bouquets

Ruby introduced our beautiful Bride to the flowers in her bouquet

The all important FD Events Bridal Bouquet carrying lesson

Kelly's own vintage brooch was attached to the handle of the bouquet

The brilliant Sonara Parker MUA was applying Kelly's make up expertly

The Bridal Bouquet included a breathtakingly beautiful collection of vintage Roses including Bombastic, Quicksand, Memory Lane, Amnesia, 4 Good, Safi Blue, Sweet Avalanche and Vendella together with some ivory Peonies, Sweet Peas and Senecio

As ever Samlesbury Hall looked welcoming, with a collection of our candlelit Lanterns lining the pathway, I've been coming to Samlesbury Hall for all of my working life (an awfully long time!!) and I still get a frisson of excitement when ever we get the opportunity to dress it florally for a wedding

A Vintage Bike decorated the entrance we'd filled the basket with a plethora of fresh flowers

Inside this wonderfully atmospheric building; Samlesbury Hall, The Whittaker Room was dressed perfectly, our candlelit Baroque Candelabras framed the Registrars table, candlelit Hurricane Lamps and Rose Petals decorated the aisle and a collection of candles, bottles and jars filled with posies of fresh flowers decorated the windowsills

The Registrars table was decorated with a quirky collection of vintage coffee pots, cups and saucers, Jam Jars and cream jugs each filled with a posy of fresh fragrant blooms, Blackberries and herbs

Strings of pearls were draped around the Candelabra perfectly adding to the vintage vibe

The bottles and jars around the room were each filled with a posy of floral loveliness

Ruby & Josie lined up the Corsages and Boutonnieres read to pin them on to the all important guests as they arrived

The Groom's Boutonniere featured a collection of Vintage Roses, Sweet Peas, Blackberries, fresh Rosemary and Thalaspi, the stem was bound with lace and tied with jute to match his Bride's Bouquet

The Groom's Men's Boutonnieres were all different yet all complimented the themes of the day

Inside the parlour one of our Enchanted Trees welcomed the guests as they arrived

Kelly and Chris had gone "all out" on the detailed little touches, they really made Samlesbury Hall their own
