The very lovely Erica was getting ready at The Grand Hotel in St Annes, which is where Jason caught up with her to deliver her Wedding Bouquet. Erica's Bridal Bouquet was a vivid deep purple collection of Vanda Orchids, Sweet Peas, Delphiniums, Astrantia, Peppermint, Lissianthus & Hydrangeas.
The Bride's Parents fresh flowers; for Mum a delightful Green & White Phalaenopsis Handbag Corsage and Dad's Ocean Song Rose Boutonniere.
At Lytham Hall the scene was set complete with an ivory carpet
We'd arranged two huge pedestal designs for either side of the doorway to frame the ceremony exquisitely, the fragrance of the flowers seemed to be heightened by virtue of being outdoors!
The groom was busy organising everyone via his mobile whilst the incredible songstress was rehearsing a beautiful Maori Love Song
Shane is from New Zealand and Erica is an English Rose, so we included some Roses and Ferns throughout the flowers.

Jason Pinned on all of the Groom's Men's Boutonnieres, Shane was wearing a Buttonhole of a striking "Purple Magic" Vanda Orchid together with Rolled Rose Petals and Hydrangea florets.
The Wedding Cake was in place in The Gold Room, we'd dressed it with a beautiful Cake Topper of Vanda Orchids, Peppermint, Lissianthus and Hydrangeas, quite gorgeous!
The Hendricks Gin Cocktail was to be served from vintage Tea Pots into Rowley's Catering Vintage Tea Cups
How Splendid!
Jars of Sweets "New Zealand Jaffas" and the quintessentially "English Blackpool Rock"
The Bride arrived in a stunning black Rolls Royce Phantom, it seemed to hoover up the drive!

I do love a Bride wearing a veil, it looks so romantic
Everything was so beautifully done from the stationary to the stunning Bridesmaids, here's the very gorgeous Abigail from Abigail & Eye fame
The Groom's Men were all wearing "Ocean Song" Rose boutonniere's and they all knew the words to "Jerusalem" & "Amazing Grace" with out looking at the words! very impressive!

Luscious low hand ties of deep purple fresh blooms
We included Clematis, Aconitum, Stocks, Hydrangeas, Ocean Song Roses and Scabious
