Jane & Rob's Vibrant & Unique Knipe Hall Wedding Day

This is such a great venue Jason & I met up with Jane, Rob and the lovely Louise at "Knipe Hall" way back in April it really is miles away from anywhere on the Lowther Castle Estate just past Shap, in the middle of our beautiful Northern countryside and well worth the drive up. It's a unique venue with an equally unique concept, if like many of us you're a bit of control freak this is the answer, basically you run, organise and execute your own wedding yourself (with more than a little help from family and friends). 

 You can of course "hire" in help from the owners, they can cater if you like and event manage however, we thought the beauty of this place was the fact you could do all of these things yourself, lay your own tables, plan your own seating for the Ceremony, your guests can even set up camp in the garden though there is enough room in the Hall to sleep twelve and then there's a pub with rooms in the village, you can cook your own food, run your own bar and basically do your own wedding your way, obviously to do your own flowers really would be a step too far!!!

On all sides the views were breathtaking

Our truly handsome Groom the lovely Rob known to his friends and family as Chewbacca was first to have his rather splendid Boutonniere of two English Garden Roses "Darcey with some Thalaspi tied together simply with Jute

All of the Boutonnieres were created from simple single variety blooms each one was entirely different, here Howard was giving the Ushers a full team talk....

They were all hanging on his every word, their work was conducted seamlessly!!

Boutonnieres of Dahlias & Peonies, Sunflowers & Calla Lilies

These guys looked fantastic, seriously cool!

Seriously sharp and his Dahlia Boutonniere looked perfect too 

For Howard a Purple Lissianthus Boutonniere (an avid Preston North End fan and under no circumstances was he prepared to wear an orange Boutonniere)

Blue Delphinium and Sunflower Boutonnieres

The flat cap and Mango Calla Lily Boutonniere were splendid accessories

The scene was set in The Barn for the wedding ceremony, we'd placed simple vases of single variety blooms in clusters on the Registrars table

Candles in the wall niches helped to create a romantic atmosphere

Posies of flowers in jam jars were tied with jute to the chairs lining the aisle

Huge Congratulations to Jane & Rob from all of the team here at Flower Design Events

Whilst our Bride & Groom were being Congratulated by all of their guests the Ushers moved the chairs "elegantly" down to the dairy for the Wedding Breakfast, where the tables had been dressed with lengths of hessian and posies of fresh blooms in vibrant shades

This table name holders were as unique as so much of this fabulous wedding

Clean glass column vases each one filled with a posy of fresh flowers in single varieties
