Emma & Andrew Crossley's Elegant Apricot & Ivory Wedding Day Inspired by French Patisserie

Emma and all of her beautiful Bridesmaids and her lovely parents were getting ready in one of the gorgeous suites at The Grand Hotel in St Annes, when our event florists Rachel & Olivia presented the wedding bouquets to them.There's nothing like a completely delighted Bride on her wedding morning to warm the cockles of an event florists heart and Emma didn't let us down she was really thrilled.

Oh and the fragrance well with all of that delicious fragranced flora what can you expect, I included in Emma's wedding bouquet David Austin's Patience & Juliet Roses, Lily of the Valley, Tuberosa, Apricot Sweet Peas and lots of lovely herbs.
