Diane and Michael


On Today's Real wedding I bring you Diane and Michael's wedding back in April this year. I met Diane at a Wedding Fayre at Cusworth Hall and she really liked my style of flowers so Diane booked an appointment with me.



Diane wanted dusky pinks so I came up with this combination of Sweet Avalanche roses, Cool Water Roses and a touch of Amnesia Roses with Astrantia, Ranunculus, Veronica, Jasmine trails and Umbrella fern.


The Bridesmaid's bouquets was a smaller version to Diane's but not as trailing just loved the colour of the dresses a perfect combination against the shades of pinks.




Diane and Michael's chosen Venue was at Cusworth Hall in Doncaster a Georgian Hall with stunning rooms and gardens where you can make your wedding your own.
I have done many photo shoots here and it is a very hidden jewel here in South Yorkshire highly recommended for intimate weddings.


Diane and Michael also choose Pastures Lodge for their wedding breakfast so I made these beautiful Tall Vase Arrangements of all the flowers I used in Diane's bouquet with some spirea flowers.



The big thing I'm introducing to help brides bring the cost down to their wedding is to use Jam jars to place their bridal flowers and bridesmaids onto the top table to add impact and at least the flowers will have a little drink.


I would also like to thank Image I Nation for the fabulous images they really are stunning.

Charlotte and Karl


Today's real wedding is a real treat! Charlotte and Karl's was stunning and Romantic.
They both had a amazing day firstly getting married at St Peters Church in Edensor near Chatsworth House followed by Hassop Hall.


Doesn't Charlotte look amazing in this Jenny Packham Dress Aspen. Charlotte knew the style of flowers she wanted. A very wild informal Hand tied bouquet with dusky pinks.

So the flowers I decided to use was David Austin Roses Patience, Memory Lane roses, Amnesia Roses, Peonies, Thespli Bell, Clematis and Jasmine Trials with fern edge.

If only there was a scent button for you as these truly did smell amazing.


I always make the grooms buttonhole to match the bridal bouquet as you can see Karl's complimented perfectly with a David Austin Rose I also placed a little Hellebore's for texture.

For the bridesmaids I did smaller versions to Charlotte's not as wild with a touch of trails.
Just love the furry shoulder capes.



Hassop Hall is a truly grand venue the Ballroom is amazing and Charlotte wanted Candelabras for the tables which she supplied from a local supplier. The top table was made with very lush wild arrangements that joined together to go in between Jam Jars so she could place the bridal bouquets to make an even more elaborate display.

All the flowers was to to theme but I included the hellebore's for texture and lots of Ivy and Jasmine trails.


And finally the cake as Charlotte came to meet me at one the Wedding Fayre's I was attending to collect a sample rose I was using so the cake lady could copy for the design of the cake. Doesn't it look amazing!


Thank You Charlotte and Karl for being so fantastic.
