The Wedding Industry Awards 2018

Hi all,

So the events of November the 6th are finally sinking in and here we sit thinking back to what was an amazing experience at The Wedding Industry Awards 2018.  We were sent the official photographs  just recently and it was such a pleasure looking through them and reliving what proved to be an incredible evening that passed far too quickly.  We really wanted to share our experience with all you guys, after all it was you that got us to where we are now so writing this this blog will hopefully give you an insight into how the evening went and also show you first hand how humbled and grateful we are for your continued support.

We say the evening went quickly, however, that was more the case after we had found out that we had won.  The hour beforehand seems to last for about 3!  As we waited patiently sipping on our Prosecco it was great to catch up with our buddies Jenn Edwards Wedding Hair and Make Up Team who went on to scoop not one but two awards, go girls!  So when it was time to go and take our seats for the main event our tummies were in bits and again we sat there for what seemed a lifetime until we heard "And now it's time to announce best florist in the region". To be honest, none of us can really remember what was said after that we were just waiting to hear a name and I can't tell you how elated we were to hear the magical words "And the winner is CAMPBELL'S FLOWERS!".  We couldn't get out of our seats fast enough it was just the best feeling in the world.  After that the night just flew by as we celebrated with Prosecco and of course a few pints of lager!

A massive shout out to Dine for the stunning food (the prawns were to die for); The Mansion, Leeds for putting on such a good do and last but by no means least Funtime Frankies for providing the perfect soundtrack to dance the night away.

Enjoy the pics and here are links to our official video and highlights of the night and again thank you so much to all our couples that took the time to vote for us you really have blown us away we are so grateful to you guys.

Ben and Lorelle's Millennium Gallery Wedding - Inner City Sheffield Chic meets Tuscany

Hi all,

Lorelle and Ben were married in April this year in an awesome Sheffield city centre ceremony at the Millennium Galleries followed by a reception at Trafalgar Warehouse.  These guys have already appeared on Love My Dress blog but we couldn't resist popping them up on our blog too as the couple and the flowers were just to die for!

Tuscany has a special place in Lorelle and Ben's hearts so therefore played a massive part in their day from the food (supplied by Silversmiths) to of course the flowers.  For her bouquet Lorelle wanted something very wild with lots of texture, for the design T and Lorelle chose red amaranthus (one of Lorelle's favourite flowers), olive foliage (in keeping with the Tuscan vibe), eucalyptus nicholii, two tone wax flower, berries, white/cream lisianthus, green bell and broom.  Lorelle also had a gorgeous hair comb which when T designed looked huge but sat so amazingly in the brides stunning hair.  The hair comb included flowers and foliage from Lorelle's bouquet so they complemented each other brilliantly.

For the buttonholes T used a sprig of olive and eucalyptus binding it together with twine.  Foliage is definitely a popular choice for buttonholes this year, especially given Pantone's colour of the year, and they look great.  The bridesmaids bouquets were a elegant design of broom, wax flower and a little foliage which matched the chair ends in the Millennium Galleries.

Massive thanks to Inner City Weddings and Events for introducing us to such a great couple and of course big thank you to Fiona Oliver Photography for the amazing images.  Scroll down and enjoy!

Frances and Rob's Wedding at Sycamore Farm Barns in Matlock - Rustic florals in the great ourdoors

Hi all,

Frances and Rob got married July this year at Sycamore Farm Barns in Matlock.  The couple wanted a very relaxed, DIY feel to the day and the venue, set up and styling did just that.  Frances and Rob got married on the Friday and had an outdoor ceremony on the Saturday which is something that is proving very popular with our couples. This lovely idea allows you to have the "wedding day" that you really want in a location of your choice.

For her bouquet Frances wanted a very meadowy 'just picked' vibe, with plenty of texture.  The flowers chosen were campanula, astrantia, wax flowers, thistles, green bell, aster, tanacetum, stocks, delphinium and lavender.

The bridesmaids had a posy of just wax flowers with dainty flower crowns to match.  Buttonholes were kept to a sprig design.

Venue flowers were key with jars, buckets, vases, watering cans, floral chandeliers and milk churns packed full of blooms with a long and low design thrown in for good measure!

We had a lovely e-mail from Frances and Rob that read like this:

"We would like to say a huge heartfelt thank you for all your hard work in preparing the flowers for our wedding.  We had so many compliments for our guests on your gorgeous arrangements.  You captured our vision perfectly and we couldn't have asked for more."

Thanks once again, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you.

Best wishes

Frances and Rob"
