Our very first visit to Helen on Friday was an early one, she was awoken with a bouquet of Avalanche Roses together with a lovely message from her groom Alan...
We were back later to deliver the bridal bouquets, the gorgeous girls from Pure Beauty were there doing an incredible job of the bridal make up.
Helen's bouquet was a simple elegant design which captured the classical essence of her and her Pronovias gown.
I included some exquisitely fragranced Patience Roses, Jasmine 
and full blousy white Peonies in the heart of Helen's bridal bouquet.
The white Phalaenopsis orchids are undeniably beautiful and innately eyecatching, the perfect cascade for this bridal bouquet.

The professional photographers for the day are
one of our favourites and are on the Flower Design reccommended list, Sarah & Abigail from Abigail and Eye do a great job of capturing all the special moments throughout the day, I love it that Sarah specialises in photographing the girls whilst Abigail looks after the boys.
Jane & Emma from Pure Beauty
Then to St Joseph's Church, Ansdell
The interior is huge, we made two tall pedestals in a realtively sculptural style with the addition of Cognac Anthuriums to allow for the red carpet.

The gorgeous Brides Mum Maureen, Maureen has been an absolute joy to work with throughout the planning and we're going to miss her dreadfully. Maureen's handbag was dressed to co-ordinate with her fantastic
outfit.
The Bridesmaids Claire, Kate & Sarah looked superb, their gowns were perfect in a pale gold/latte silk.
It was a little draughty at St Josephs and the bridesmaids really had their work cut out managing the veil.

Then to the fabulous The Great Hall at Mains for the celebrations. We decided on a combination of high and low table designs with candelabras and silver fruit bowls, we hung the table names from the arrangements to keep the tables clear ready for the suckling pigs that were to be carved at the table by nominated guests (marked by having a piglet card on their place setting)
I decorated the top of the c
