January is such a tricky month for fresh wedding flowers but, if like Amanda & Peter you're thrilled to embrace the glorious array of new Spring flowers it's an absolute joy.
This wedding was precisely that an absolute joy to work on, our Bride & Groom (& Bride's Mum Netta who is without doubt a bonefide legend) were an absolute joy to work with, the fabulous venue Singleton Lodge a total joy to work at, all in all an utterly joyous day was had by all!!!

So Amanda & Peter had prepared this wonderful Mood Board for us, it included lots of 'Floral Afternoon Tea' inspiration, lots of blue, a smattering of Scottish Tartan & Thistles and plenty of love!
We made Amanda a sample wedding bouquet for her to try out a good few weeks before the wedding, we included Eryngium Thistles, Anemones, Ranunculus, Hyacinths, Paper Whites, Viburnum Tinus Berries, Eucalyptus, Roses, Rosemary, Ivy, Hydrangeas and Gypsophilia
We also made them some sample table designs all with a Vintage and Afternoon Tea theme

At last the big day arrived and what a glorious day it was, blue skies and Singleton Lodge looking resplendent in the sunshine, you really couldn't ask for more, the perfect January day.
The Alpacas were looking pretty happy too xx
Chloe & Claire presented the beautiful blue and ivory Bridal Bouquets to our fabulous Bride and her Bridesmaid they included Forget Me Nots, blue Eryngium Thistles, Anemones, Ranunculus, Hyacinths, Paper Whites, Viburnum Tinus Berries, Eucalyptus, Roses, Rosemary, Ivy, Hydrangeas and Gypsophilia

The exquisite Groom's Boutonniere of Eucalyptus, Senecio, Roses, Hydrangea florets, Eryngium, Steel Berries and Albiflora
Each Boutonniere was created from the same flower palette but each one was unique in the combinations we brought together
Amanda's super handsome Bride Groom the lovely Peter was first to have his rather special boutonniere pinned to his lapel

Inside the ceremony room the scene was set for the ceremony
We'd dressed the ledges and windowsills around the room with beautifully detailed Afternoon tea inspired designs

Cake stands, milk jugs and cups and saucers were all filled with fresh flowers and look perfect in this intimate room at Singleton Lodge
There are always two Registrars tables at Singleton Lodge so both were dressed to compliment the day perfectly with elegant little vintage vessels filled with posies of fresh flowers
The windowsills just behind the ceremony space were all decorated beautifully too.
Our three tier cake stands topped with cups and saucers, milk jugs & sugar bowls all filled with fresh posies of blue and ivory spring flowers
On this one we've gone for a lovely Coffee Pot filled with fresh flowers, coffee cups and Brandy Decanters, more of an after dinner vibe than afternoon tea

Huge Congratulations to Amanda & Peter from all of the team here at Flower Design Events
How Blissful !!!
Whilst our Bride & Groom and their guests enjoyed some celebratory fizz, the Singleton Lodge & Flower Design teams joined forces to transform the ceremony room into a magnificent Banqueting Hall
Each table was dressed with a unique bespoke design created using vintage crockery and crystal vessels all filled with fresh Spring flowers
The Top Table was a feast for the eyes
For the Top Table, a series of fresh flowers in vintage vessels were set on mirrors and illuminated with candles and votives
The Bridal Bouquet took pride of place in the centre of the Top Table
A Glass Cloche was set over the Bridesmaids Posy which was surrounded by posies of fresh flowers in cups and saucers continuing the theme beautifully
An afternoon tea tray looked so pretty as one the table centrepieces for tone of he larger tables
The Wedding Cake was created by the great folks at Iced of Garstang
When our Bride & Groom were brought into the room to see it finished they were absolutely delighted, which is always the best bit!!!xxx
