A Sublime Vintage Wedding Day for Joanne & Phil at Ribby Hall

Now if ever there was a more excited Bride than the lovely Joanne I haven't met her, Joanne was without doubt the most enthusiastic, excited and totally ridiculously happy Bride I think I've ever had the pleasure of working for, I say that knowing I have the honour of creating flowers for some of the worlds most excited Brides, but Joanne, well you'll see was quite literally bursting with joy!!!.... But before I introduce you to Jo I'll show you some of her fabulous flowers.
Jo's gorgeous wedding bouquet, I created it in vintage shades with vintage blooms including the many silky layered English garden Roses from David Austin Keira & Rosalind, the frills and froth of green and pink Bouvardia "Green Magic"and the delicately lacey and utterly decadent Lily of the Valley.

The wedding breakfast was held in the very gorgeous Garden Room at Ribby Hall, we'd designed table centrepieces to reflect the elegant vintage theme prevailing over the day



The top table was so lovely, a collection of the Bride's Mum's own crystal filled with posies and arrangements of elegant fresh fragrant vintage blooms

The Garden Room at Ribby Hall is quite lovely with fabulous views over the garden, superb yet neutral decor and as with everything at Ribby the service is exceptional!



Sheila's crystal was perfect and created an elegance that fitted the atmosphere of the day with aplomb
