The Venetian wedding continued...
All 32 guests had arrived in Venice by the night before the wedding and each and every one had an adventurous journey on account of the snow in the UK.

At 8am on the morning of the wedding I was making the bridal bouquet, the 2 large arrangements (for the town hall and the drinks reception) along with 5 buttonholes and 10 tables worth of fresh scented rose petals, oh and the 2 wired stems for the brides hair. The scented garden roses I used were the deep red rose Deep Secret, the wonderfully scented fuchsia roses Caprice De Meilland and Tower Bridge and the peaony shaped mid pink rose Yves Piaget. I used lavender, mint, rosemary, eucalyptus and jasmine trails tied with the scented roses.

At 10.45am the bride and her Father were collected from the back of the hotel by Wedding Gondola and we all walked the 10 minutes to the Town Hall where the ceremony would take place.

The day was fabulously sunny and wildly romantic. After the ceremony we were all transported back to the hotel and restaurant in open boats along the Grand Canal. The bride and groom travelled by wedding gondola. We had a wonderful wedding breakfast followed by some of the best speeches I've ever heard and the flowers with their heavenly scent were enjoyed by everyone. It was an amazing wedding and we all had a ball. Thank you Mr and Mrs Hayes!

If you're thinking of getting married in Venice, I would wholly recommend it! I also have the name of a great Wedding planner if you need one.
