The Beautiful Winter Wedding Day of Jo & Neil at West Tower at Aughton

We've had some fabulous appointments, we've shared stories, we discussed every minor and major detail around this beautiful wedding day and honestly couldn't wait for the big day to arrive, these two really are the most wonderful couple and we felt honoured to be a small part of such a special day..

Inside the entrance hall we'd created a fresh flower card collector
The scene was set in West Tower for the wedding ceremony
We'd made a frame of fresh flowers to create a backdrop for the ceremony, we'd followed the lines of the room selecting a square shape for the frame
Two of our Enchanted Trees were placed either side of the floral frame
Miniature Fir trees were included to mirror the imagery on Jo & Neil's Mood Board, their proposal was in an evergreen forest with snow on the ground
The registrars Table featured posies of wild winter flowers in wooden and rustic vessels
We'd left a gap in the centre of the Registrars table for Jo's wedding bouquet to be placed during the ceremony
Two more Enchanted Trees framed the top of the stairs marking the start of the aisle
Lanterns and the foliage & Gypsophilia Hoops dressed the aisle perfectly
Everyone was eventually seated and the Groom and his Bet Man were in position

The Seating Plan by Brides Little Helper was dressed with posies of fresh flowers
The heavenly wedding cake by Vanilla Nova Cakes was dressed with fresh flowers and stood on a floral cake stand
Our glorious Enchanted Trees dressed the guest tables bring that magical winter forest vibe in to West Tower Wedding Venue
The Top Table was of course super romantic our Floral Frame was now dressed with hanging tea light orbs and created an exquisite backdrop for the Bride & Groom
The hoops of foliage and Gypsophilia were moved to the backs of the chairs on the top table
An empty wooden vase was left in the middle of the top table for the Bride to pop her bouquet into
