"Quality Street" Wedding at Manchester Cathedral & The Bridgewater Hall

Now this one's and oldy but goody, I remembered it when I was shopping last night and saw huge towers of Quality Street tins, so this is from a few years ago but I thought you'd enjoy it ... So this is early on, on the big day the Bride & Groom had one of those really cute apartments by the railway bridges on Whitworth Street for those of you who know the city centre.

The car looked like one of those gorgeous toy cars

The Manchester Sky Line looked like the colours from a box Quality Streets

The ceremony was at The Cathedral

The Bridesmaid's Bouquets were very elegant and fluid to compliment the liquid finish on their gowns, I used Ivory Calla Lilies & Stirling Silver Roses.

We arranged flowers in their hair

Hannah's Groom wore a Crystal Blush Calla together with some sprigs of Lavender and Rolled Stirling Silver Rose Petals.

The Flower Girl Carried a Bouquet almost good enough to eat with Stirling Silver Roses, Scabiosa, Agapanthus & Brodea

Hannah's Bouquet included Blue Curiosa & Stirling Silver Roses, Ageratum, Calla Lilies, Lissianthus and Poppy Seed Heads

Then to The Bridgewater Hall, the table centrepieces were arranged in candy bowls over spilling with Quality Streets and fresh flowers

The napkins were dressed with fresh rose petals

The Cake had a garland of fresh foliages and Quality Streets surrounding it

The Top Table design

The Tall elegant vases had sweets hanging from them

And each table was named after their particular favourites

Each guest had a matching sweetie on their side plate

The Photographer on the day was the very brilliant Aggie McGuinness who is responsible for all of the good photographs on the blog posting, the slighty under parr ones are of course mine.

Afshan & Gareth's Teal & Ivory Civil Ceremony at The Barton Grange Hotel

I love this teal wedding bouquet, Teal wedding flowers are quite problematic but certainly not impossible. We delivered the Bridal Bouquets up to Afshan's bedroom at Barton Grange where there was an atmosphere of total excitement, Afshan loved her bouquet when we did the bouquet holding lesson.
Gareth had sent his bride a bouquet of fresh flowers The three Bridesmaids were all lined up and ready...

Gareth wore a Crystal Blush Calla with Eryngium Thistle & Alchemilla Mollis Afshan's brother wore a Jade Rose with China Grass

The ceremony room looked quite fabulous with two elegant vases with teal coloured water on stands framing the Registrars table. We placed a simple co-ordinating design on the end chair of every other row.

Gareth & Afshan many congratulations Afshan's bridal bouquet included Jade & Akito Roses, Eryngium, Christal Calla Lilies, Eucalyptus and fresh foliages, I completed the design with teal pearls and teal bullion

Teal is a fabulous shade but quite difficult to team with fresh flowers, I think this bridemaids bouquet looks perfect with the teal gown

The Bridesmaid's Bouquets included Arabicum Chincherinchees, Agapanthus, Callas, Eryngium and foliages, each of these bouquets were also finished off with teal bullion

The Bridal Gown & Bridesmaids were by Alfred Angelo and were purchased from Dan Kerr Bridal in Blackpool

The room was then changed around ready for the wedding breakfast

Afshan and Gareth were a great couple to work with, they were very careful and considered about their choices and I think the results were absolutely stunning and bang on budget!
