Danielle & Barry's Perfectly Pink Wedding at St Michael's Church & The Inn at Whitewell

Danielle and her many Bridesmaids were all getting ready at The Inn when Jason, Sophie & I arrived on Saturday morning, the big reveal was first on the agenda and then, the now famous FD bouquet holding lesson...

Danielle's wedding bouquet was a confection in pinks and ivories, I'd used fresh Peonies "Sarah Bernhardt", Roses "Faith", "Sweet Avalanche", "Avalanche" and David Austin's "Patience" & "Miranda" together with pale pink and ivory Sweet Peas.

The wedding bouquet was light and airey with a kind of "Powder Puff" vibe to it, I surrounded it with a gentle collar of fragrant Eucalyptus, just to keep some moisture in and to protect the delicate Sweet Peas.

Danielle's gorgeous Mum's handbag decorated with Faith Roses, Celosia, Pale Pink Hydrangeas, and Pearly Astrantia.

Then we nipped next door to St Michael's to arrange the flowers in there, some of the windowsills had tiny posies of Roses, Orchids, Hydrangeas and Thistles along with a few tea light votives

A couple of lovely luscious Pedestal designs in stone urns on either side of the ceremony space, I included Delphinium Elatum, Molucella, Peonies, Hydrangeas, Astrantia, Dahlias and Passion Flower and Sprengerii trails

I adore Astrantia the variety here is "Million Stars"

The Faith Boutonnieres were all ready for the Groom and his Groom's Men

OK so this is a little test of your observational skills, perfectly positioned behind my pedestal design is one of the most discrete wedding videographers, the company is called Cedar Wedding Videography and I hardly saw them all day, Perfect!

The ceremony was absolutely lovely

Huge and ginormous congratulations to Danielle & Barry

Danielle's very proud parents

The Patience Rose is perfect for Bridesmaids and Brides to wear in their hair, it's a light fragrant Rose that opens into a lovely rosette

Sophie & I decorated the cake with some fresh flowers

The Marquee at The Inn at Whitewell is superb with amazing views down the river The tables were dressed with a selection of different designs to add texture and interest, the tables down the centre of the marquee had the tall glass column designs with spheres of abundant fresh fragrant pink blooms.

Elegant crystal cake stands with vintage liquor glasses filled with delicate posies of fragrant Sweet Peas, Lissianthus and Roses looked perfect on the tables with the Cup Cake Favours

The Top Table was dressed with a swag of fresh Passion Flower and strings of Pearls festooned along the front of the table.

The table design itself was a Flower Design "Reflections" creation of small vases of posies interesting flowers, each with a different texture and completed with a band of "Summer Fete" ribbons fixed with a tiny seed pearl.

I'd chosen Sweet Avalanche Roses, Celosia, Astilbe, Blackberries, Peppermint, Peonies, Phlox and fresh Lavender and Dill

These are a dynamic duo, the fabulous Sharon who is in charge of all things wedding at The Inn at Whitewell and is always there in attendance and organising everything on the day and her fabulous colleague the lovely Jackie, together they always deliver the perfect wedding day!

I love these tall spherical designs they look almost good enough to eat

Our Vicki used all sorts of spherical blooms to create the look including Roses, peonies, Dahlias, Poppy Seed Heads, Dille, Green Tree Dianthus, Astrantia, Setaria and so much moreThe marquee looked quite splendid

The first of the seasons Blackberries

This really was a most magical and wonderful day for Danielle & Barry, many thanks to them and their lovely families for chossing Flower Design to create their wedding flowers.
