The Spectacular Wedding Day of Angela & Matthew at St Catherine's Church Boot & Irton Hall in Holmrook
This was an epic wedding of gargantuan proportions up in the very northern reaches of The English Lake District our floral journey with these gorgeous folks started with some pretty creative meetings and the creation of a very fabulous Mood Board and subsequent sample designs...
The Sample designs were made a couple of months ago and celebrated all of the gloriousness of their mood board
At last the big day arrived and Jason and I headed out super early in a huge hired van (Our Van's just weren't big enough for all of the fab flowers that needed transporting), we'd checked the width of the roads we'd be traversing (We avoided the Sat Nav instructions) and arrived at Irton Hall in plenty of time to make the presentation of the Bridal Bouquets
I showed our gorgeous Bride and her lovely Bridesmaids how to carry their bouquets perfectly
We had the great pleasure of working alongside photography legend David Stubbs
Angela's beautiful wedding bouquet included a beautiful collection of Summer blooms Peonies in Blush & Ivory with English Garden Roses Keira, Silver lace and Snowflake, fragranced Freesia, fresh fragrant Lily of the Valley and sweet scented Sweet peas
We headed off to Church to find that the road was narrower than expected in certain areas where stones jutted out of the walls, a very hairy few minutes passed where our husband and wife status was tested to the max, Jase was driving and I was guiding, he does find it difficult to take instruction and he double hated that I was taking photographs
We held or breaths and finally arrived at this idyllic little Church of St Catherine in Boot they have the most fabulous Minister there the very dynamic Reverend Canon Gill Hart
The arrangements were quite huge and Jason had quite a distance to carry them but it all helps to keep him fit
We dressed the little Lytch Gate with one of our lovely Floral Hearts
The Floral Heart included a heavenly collection of sweet scented Jasmine, Peonies, Roses, Dahlias and Hydrangeas welcomed the guests as they arrived
Just inside the porch a collection of small glass jars each filled with a posy of Sweet Peas, Peonies, Philadelphus and jasmine dressed the benches
Inside this heavenly Church we'd dressed the windowsills with cascading designs of English cottage garden blooms including Passion Flower, Larkspur, Stocks, Roses, Peonies and Sweet peas
Rev Gill's Teddy Bears which played a huge part in the ceremony
The two Secret Garden Urns were filled with an abundance of fresh materials all in an English Garden style, we included Fresh Larkspur, Delphiniums, Larkspur, Spirea, Passion Flower, Philadelphus, Jasmine, Astilbe, Dahlias, Peonies, Roses, Stocks and Hydrangeas
We lined the Boutonniere up ready to pin them on to the Gentlemen as they arrived
Darren Robinson the fantastic Magician was lucky enough to be a guest and arrived pushing the double buggy with his two adorable boys Charlie & Ronnie
It was fabulous to see Darren and Aga out enjoying themselves (Aga was looking far too gorgeous to say she's a mum of twin boys!!!xxx)
We pinned on all of the boutonnieres ensuring each one was perfectly positioned
The super glam Groom's Mum Della complete with her rather special corsage of Silver Lace Roses, Rolled Earl Grey Rose Petals Silver Grey Albiflora, Sweet Peas and Eucalyptus
The Bride Groom's super special Boutonniere of fresh Lily of the Valley, a White O'Hara Rose with Bombastic Rose Buds & Sweet Peas
The boys were handing out the order of service beautifully created by the Groom's Mum
Our super gorgeous and seriously excited Bride Groom Matt was next to arrive
The Bride Groom's Boutonniere
Amy was going to be doing a reading in Church and was wearing an Avalanche Rose with Sweet peas and a Snowflake Rose Bud Boutonniere
Here come the Girls, the Bridesmaids Terri, Carol & Kirsten looked stunning in their pale blush pink gowns, their bouquets matched perfectly
We'd created the Bridesmaid's Bouquets as smaller versions of the Bridal Bouquet, in pale blush pink and ivory Garden Roses, Peonies, Lily of the Valley and Sweet peas
The fabulous Bride's Mum Mary was wearing a taupe trouser suit with a cream jacket we ensured her corsage matched her ensemble perfectly
A beautifully textured lapel corsage of Rolled Rose Petals, Astrantia, Rolled Galax, Scabious seed heads, Sweet Peas, Astrantia, Roses and Eucalytus leaves we finished it off with a touch of diamante sparkle to match her top
The Little Flower Girl Katie was wearing a floral Crown of Rose Buds, Freesia and Sweet Peas
The exquisite Bridesmaids Bouquets matched their blush pink gowns perfectly
Our fabulous Bride was arriving in horse drawn style complete with blush pink Ostrich Feather Plumes
The team from Cedar House Videos were filming all of the action it really is a pleasure to work with them
Our beautiful Bride looked absolutely stunning, she was wearing an exquisite Ronald Joyce Gown from The Confetti Box in Warrington
Angela's wedding bouquet looked simply perfect, delicious Peonies, Roses and Sweet peas with lacey scented Lily of the Valley
This was such a fabulous sermon, absolutely adored it...
Huge Congratulations to Angela & Matt from all of the team here at Flower Design
David Stubbs doing his thing...
Beautiful Blush Pink Bridesmaids Bouquets
Just behind the Church were these stepping stones, the perfect spot for our very quick picnic lunch whilst the guests all went for a ride on the Eskdale Railway
We managed to catch up with the train and overtake it
We arrived back at Irton Hall ages before the guests
The Wedding Breakfast and after party were being held in the huge marquee on the front lawn
Our Floral Heart welcomed guests at the entrance
Inside the magnificent Marquee the scene was set with silver sequin table covers and our huge 'Flower Bomb' table centres
These magnificent 'Flower Bombs' were on top of our hugely tall Glass column vases, the explosion of flowers on top included Phalaenopsis Orchids, Philadelphus, Passion Flower, Jasmine, Hydrangeas, Dahlias, Larkspur, Peonies, English Garden Roses and Astilbe
The Peonies were particularly glorious by this point in the day
We'd included an incredible collection of exquisite garden foliages like Hostas, Sperengerii, Philadelphus, Herbs Rosemary, Oregano and Peppermint, the fragrance in the marquee was heavenly
The seating plan and table names was quite unique
The Top Table was dressed with our 'Hanging Gardens of Babylon' design and waterfall of fresh blooms cascading over the front of the top table, framing the speeches so perfectly
The table names were brilliant
Beautiful Sweet Avalanche Rose
The heavenly cake was created by the super talented Kelly Dee from Pink Frosting Cake Company
Howard Wing was all ready to entertain everyone and after his set the ace folks from The Rush would be ensuring the dance floor was never empty
Our gorgeous Bride & Groom were first to arrive back from the train trip
So gorgeous...
The adorable little Flower Girl Katie
Our work here was done it was time to leave the party in full swing many thanks to Angela & Matthew and both of their fabulous families for choosing Flower Design Events to create their wedding flowers for them
