Orchids & Roses Wedding at Langdale Chase on Windermere

Langdale Chase is such a fabulous venue, I am always so excited when I have an opportunity to decorate the Hall & rooms with fresh flowers, Annette & Stephen are such a lovely couple with a gorgeous family that I'd been looking forward to this wedding for months.

The exquisite Hall was dressed to impress with a Green Goddess Arums, Green Cymbidium Orchids & Black Baccarra Roses.

I placed a simple swag of fresh flowers at the foot of the stairs attached to the bannister

Fresh Rose Petal Cones

A swag of flowers attached to the coat of arms just softened its masculinity

This is the view from half way up the stairs

The setting is so beautiful I always love places with bruised & moody skies
