We packaged them up inside The Grand before going up to the bedroom so as to avoid wind damage. But as many of you "Sand grown 'uns" will know our weather can alter dramatically throughout a day, Katy & Simon's wedding day was no exception...
We had sparkly magic wands for the two Flower girls and posies for the adult Bridesmaids.
Katy & her Mum Julie getting to know the flowers within the bridal bouquet
Katy's Flower Design Bridal Bouquet: I'd included a fabulous selection of Roses in soft toffee, caramel and clotted cream shades they were Metalina, Champagne, Quick Sand and Vendella, lots of berries; Snowberry, Hypericum and Skimmea, some lovely autumnal grasses and Oak leaves. Originally this bouquet was to be a little more trailing but given the weather I altered it very slightly to a more compact design which I knew would be more comfortable to handle and less likely to become damaged.
Niki & Shona practised carrying their bouquets
Julie wanted a magic wand but had to make do with a very elegant corsage instead
This coppery brown Cymbidium Orchid was a perfect choice for Julie's Corsage 
The White Church, almost disapearing against the grey sky, I had to wear my big FD winter coat and was pretty much blown across the road. 
Simon wearing a dark brown suit and pale latte scrunchie tie, his boutonniere included a Quick Sand Rose, Hypericum Berries and some white Heather in honour of Katy's Scottish heritage. 
The Ushers wore Akito Roses with Heather & Thistles to compliment their kilts.
