I've known Emily for years (since she was about 11), so it was such a pleasure to do the flowers for her wedding. She and Ryan got married on one of the hottest days of summer at Dodford Manor in Northamptonshire. Their special day was captured perfectly by Tim Hill Ph...

Helen and James's wedding took place on the most beautiful Autumn day in October. It's their favourite season and one in which the trees in the grounds of Hampton Manor look particularly colourful and beautiful, and we spent a lot of time talking about Autumn colours a...
