Venue: Langley Castle.
Church: Lanercost Priory.

Anita absolutely loved flowers and decided on a theme of diffrent shades of pinks. We used pink David Austin roses, peonies, spray roses and large headed roses. To add fragrance we used lilac freesia and the very beautiful delicate lilly of the valley. It was a large design finished off with diamante's and the brides own beautiful crystal butterfly.

The Maids had a more simple design using similar flowers and the flower girl held a wand which was bound in ivory with turquoise wire and ribbon detail.

The church was adorned with wrought iron candle sticks wrapped with ivy and enhanced with pink roses and eucalyptus. We created pedistal arrangements, pew ends and decorated the very impressive chandelier.

Emma loved Tulips and wanted buttonholes that would use the lovely spring flower. We managed to source the perfect colour to match her theme and used bear grass to enhance the gents buttonholes.

The table centres used white and purple Tulips in gold fish bowls along with dirrerent sized cylinder vases. We submerged the Tulips, added crystal beads and floating candles. These looked brilliant in the hotel.


The Brides hand tie incorperated large ivory headed roses, purple tulips, finished with bear grass and diamantie. It was bound with ivory organza and diamantie's.

Buttonholes were a single ivory rose with eucalyptus and a touch of delphinium. The handbag corsarge used denderobian orchids, eucalyptus and was finished with lime green pearls which matched her outfit perfectly.

We created pedistal arrangements which were placed outside to enhance the entrance of the beautiful sandstone gazibo at dalston hall.

Live The Dream Wedding Event

Sunday 27th September 2009, Carlisle Racecourse.
We had a great day launching our new website and talking to the brides and their families, made arrangements for the entrance, buttonholes for the staff and did two demonstrations. The hand-tieds that were made were then won by guests. Below you can see some of the sample wedding bouquets and table arrangements we had made to show case our wedding designs.

Below are some of the buttonholes we designed for the Cumberland News team for the event.
Calla lillies, Singapore Orchids and Arabicum were some of the flowers used , we added wire detail, beads and feathers to give them a more contemporary look.

This hand tied of head to head ivory roses was very popular with the guests on the day.
