Congratulations Lorna & Bob Dragon

Congratulations to Lorna & Bob who celebrated their marriage on Friday the 23rd of October 2009 with a blessing at St Peter's Church, Chellaston followed by a reception at Breadsall Priory Hotel & Country Club in Derby.

Lorna, Bob and most of their family and friends had flown in from America in time for the big day. Spending the few days before making the most of their trip to England with a special visit to Chatsworth House and Gardens...

The inspiration for Lorna & Bob's wedding was taken from all things English and developed throughout the time we have been working together.
Everything from the traditional pub for their rehearsal dinner to the beautiful flowers that looked like they had been handpicked from the garden complimented the theme.

The day was fantastic. Everything came together perfectly, with thanks to the Hotel staff and the suppliers. Lorna looked amazing and I must say a massive thank you to Emma Buck- Hair & Make-up artist who managed to complete the hair and make-up for the bride, her 4 bridesmaids and both mums in less than 4 hours!! That's surely a new record! Thanks Emma!

Here are a few photos which I took on the day that show the Haslam suite set for the wedding breakfast (above), the floral centrepieces, the wedding cake and the escort card table (below).

All the beautiful flowers were created by Elaine and Louise at The Greenery. A huge thank you for all your help and guidance, the finished designs were exactly as the bride hoped!

Their gorgeous wedding cake was created by Zoe at Delicious Designs- complete with a Battenburg flavored tier... Yum!

The escort card table- A concept which is more popular in America than the alternative place card and seating plan. Each guest had their own card with their table number wrote inside and under each card was a flag with their name on.... Guests were asked to pin their flag on the world map to show where they live. What a great idea if your guests are from all over the world. Although I cant take credit, as it was Lorna's idea!!

It has been fantastic working with Lorna & Bob, finalising all their wedding arrangements to ensure their day was perfect. I received some great compliments from their guests, being called a life saver and even getting a high five for a job well done!
Its been a absolute pleasure.... I wish you all the happiness for the future!

A selection of the official photographs will be featured on my gallery pages soon, courtesy of Dave Nunn Studios. A huge thanks to Dave and Emma for capturing the day, I cant wait to see the photographs...!
