Whitewell before decorating the Lytch Gate at St. Mary's before the early morning service at 8:30, then back to Flower Design HQ to load the van, box up the bouquets and get back to Goosnargh to deliver Sarah's wedding bouquets
This is always an exciting and heart stopping moment when I un veil the bridal bouquets, there's so much anticipation and expectation....
Sarah's Bouquet was just lovely, her choice of colours were perfect, I'd used Sweet Peas in Purples, Damsons & Lavenders alongside fresh Lily of the Valley Peony Duchess De Nemours , Little Silver Roses, Metalina & Amnesia Roses, Ocean Song Roses and lots of fragrant herbs including Myrtle
Then of course the all important FD bouquet holding lesson and an introduction to the gorgeous blooms in all of the bouquets
The handle of the bouquet was completed with a vintage brooch
My old friend Debbie was there doing a fabulous job of everyones hair (She's now at Studio 4 on Pleasant Street in Lytham)
Then we were off to light all our lanterns, spray and titivate all the flowers at Church, The Lytch Gate was just perfect and dressed with a selection of fresh fragrant flowers and foliages the perfume was carried on the breeze and reached the far edges of Goosenargh I was informed later by a lovely lady
The Vicar John was so lovely and he did a great service
The dramatic pedestals were a celebration of fabulous English Delphiniums and Roses with some luscious Hydrangeas too
The end of each alternate pew was dressed with a fragrant posy of Sweet Peas and Patience Roses
The lanterns looked really welcoming as the weather changed and a summer shower ensued
Our Jason went on Umbrella duty bring the ladies from the car park to the Church undercover of his Golf umbrella, unfortunately for the boys it was "Ladies Only" thing!
Sarah's handsome Groom Gary looking a little dryer
The Groom's Boutonniere of Stephanotis & Roses

Massive congratulations to Gary & Sarah from all of the events team here at Flower Design
These purle, lavender and lilac shades look so summery and lush, in the wedding bouquet I also included Lilac, Spiraea, Stephanotis, Hydrangea and Albiflora
Then we were off to Bartle Hall to arrange the table designs which were all quite unique, this design includes a fabulous posy of Patience and Little Silver in the centre and small posies of Sweet Peas, Hydrangeas, Sweet William and Curcuma
The central vase here is a collection of Alliums and chives, surrounded by some fragrant Sweet Peas, Patience Roses and Pepper Mint
The central vase contains a posy of Avalanche Roses, with Alliums, Sweet Peas, Curcumas and Hydrangeas
One of my all time favourite photographers the lovely Steve from Derwent Photography, he's such a lovely guy and his work is simply sublime, perfect for when the weather is a little inclement I can't wait to see his images on his blog...

Suzanne from Bartle Hall does the very best table setting I see anywhere the glasses cutlery and crockery are laid out immaculately in straight lines and then the napkins are folded with such flair I love it!
