This was such a fabulous wedding to work on, I can't tell you how much we've enjoyed getting to know this gorgeous couple, I even got to see Jonny's legs, well his spectacular Peony tattoo on his calf!
We chatted through all of the details on their stupendous mood board, I understood how important the flowers were to the lovely Steph and just how important it was to Jonny that Steph was happy. We learned all about their wedding plans, the venue for their wedding celebrations was the wonderful Samlesbury House this venue is steeped in history with tons of atmosphere, they have such a great team headed up by Sharon & Angela who both ensure every wedding day is run brilliantly. They were super excited about their wonderful wedding cake made by Joe & Janine from Specialized Cakes, Steph couldn't wait to wear her stunning gown by Sincerity Bridal from Glamour Bridal in Bolton our beautiful Bride had the lovely and talented Duncan Fisher Hair Designer and Make Up Artist Kerry Baker on board too, to ensure she looked absolutely perfect on the big day. Their photographer was a new one to us and a lovely guy to work with Dan Monaghan Photography, it was great to see Ryan Smith from DFC providing the evening entertainment, we caught the last five minutes of his set when we arrived for clear down and the place was bouncing!
We arranged to meet up again at FD HQ to present Steph & Jonny with their sample bridal designs created just for them. We made a wedding bouquet for Steph a collection of Peonies, Roses, Sweet Peas and Astilbe in pretty shades of pink.
We made Jonny a sample Boutonniere
