Emmy's desire for a modest bridal bouquet to complement her 'big' dress resulted in a blossoming masterpiece. The bouquet featured exquisite, tissue-thin flower varieties, and as a very personal touch, finished with her late grandfather's handkerchief, a cherished family tradition at weddings.
The reception came alive with grand floral centrepieces, a vivid blend of floaty blooms, and bright tapered candles. Bold Coral Peonies created a statement, with the delicate Poppies ensuring that the details kept precious memories alive.
