We've known Ben for many, many years and Sonya for slightly less years, but it really was our honour and privilige to be asked to create their bridal flowers...
~
Sonya's wedding bouquet was inspired by the fabulous still life oil paintings in gilt frames at
Manchester Art Gallery the venue for their splendid wedding
~
We included Mokara Dinisii Orchids, Phalaenopsis Orchids in three shades, Fresh Lily of the Valley, Passion Roses, Mimi Eden spray Roses and lots of berries in Sonya's wedding bouquet that was framed within a golden filigree frame
The marriage ceremony was to take place in the Valette & Lowry Gallery
Katarina was putting the finishing touches to the Registrars table design whilst the chair covers were being put on.
We used fabulous Smilax and Vanda Orchids, Cymbidium & Phalaenopsis Orchids in the FD Ghost Trees
The Glass Bridge that connects the galleries and is above the area where the reception was to be held, was dressed with fabulous swags of contorted willow, Paphiopedilum Orchids, trails of Hoya, Leucospernum and all sorts of loveliness
This space really does inspire great design

Ben was wearing a very special FD Filigree Boutonniere of Lily of the Valley, Passion Rose, Skimmia and Mokora Dinisii
