Hipster's All The Way For This Unique & Personal Wedding Celebration at Ashton Memorial Williamson Park & Thurnham Hall For Stephanie & Mark
I really don't know where to begin with this epic wedding, it's a fabulous story, so beautifully crafted by our imaginative & creative Bride & Groom, they live in London so we've enjoyed a long distance relationship punctuated by face to face meetings where a 'show & tell' atmosphere prevailed.

I first met up with these two uber cool folks last Autumn, we decided on a route to creating something truly unique, a skeleton of an idea you might say. We met up again in the Spring at Thurnham Hall, with a plan to put some meat on the bare bones.
I was knocked out by Mark's punchy graphics his fabulous invitations and order of service, the vibe was 'Music Hall Billboard' complete with cast list. Stephanie's gown was breathtaking and her ideas for Bridesmaids dresses were ace. The fabrics for ties & pocket squares were seriously lush and just wait until you see our Bride Groom's bow tie it's sublime.

The next step was of course to meet up at FD HQ and for our couple to see our ideas made up as sample designs, in a happy change to our usual plan their fabulous photographer the brilliant James Jebson came down to familiarise himself with the colours and atmosphere for the day, he took some great pictures, the original ideas have of course been developed and have evolved to perfection for the big day...
The tables were named after London Markets each table would have it's own identity and character
Our Bride Groom's name was immortalised in flower pots
Finally the big day arrived, the sun was shining and our flowers were revealed in glorious technicolour
Our beautiful Bride and her sensational Bridesmaids enjoyed my presentation of our bridal bouquet carrying lesson
Berto and I headed onward and upward to the very peak of Lancaster, the ceremony was taking place at Ashton Memorial in the middle of Williamson Park
Inside Ashton Memorial, the scene was set with vibrant blooms dressing the Registrars table and floral flower pots spelling out Dunbavan lining the aisle
The Bride & Groom's initials were set into a full on floral garland dressing the Registrars table
The Flower Pots with 'Scrabble' letters were filled with posies of fresh flowers
