Florist Rachael married head flower grower at a plant nursery, Robert on 28th May 2022 at Old Thornville in North Yorkshire.
A couple who work with nature daily were bound to be inspired by the outdoors, and wanted to create a sense of bringing the outdoors in, for their wedding ceremony. They hosted a marquee reception in the grounds of this beautiful Grade II listed building, with the support of Florida Marquees.
Rachael wore a gown by our favourite North Yorkshire bridal fashion designer, the wonderful Rolling in Roses, whose founder Hayley is passionate about designing ethical wedding dresses for stylish, modern brides.
The Dress
I wore a Rolling in Roses dress. I love their unique, eco friendly, locally made pieces, created with comfortable material.
I also loved that there was two parts to my dress and that I could take the top part off when the party really got going. Also, I love knowing that I will wear both these pieces again.
My bridesmaids wore dresses from Pretty Lavish. They also wore dried flower hair combs which I made myself and shoes from New Look.
Bridal Beauty and Accessories
I wore a veil by Ann-Marie Faulkner and my shoes were from Zara.
My perfume was Narciso Rodroguez – it was a last minute buy the day before the wedding after realising I didn’t have a perfume for the day. It was the colours/style of the bottle that drew me to it and I absolutely love it! So nice to have a scent that will always remind me of the day.
My hair stylist was Emily Hawkes Hair and my makeup artist was Amy George.
Photography
We hired Laura Adams Photography. We loved Laura’s natural, romantic style and then we finally got to meet her we couldn’t wait for her to be part of our day. We would 100% recommend Laura she was basically part of the bridal party she made everyone feel comfortable and really did just blend in.
Everyone was raving about her the next day. She captured some beautiful moments throughout the day which we can cherish forever.

Evening & Favourite Moments
Our first dance was to ‘You And Me’, by Penny & The Quarters. We hired the Soul Unit band for the evening.
My favourite moment was having all our loved ones in one room at the same time as that may never happen again, it was the best feeling looking round at all their smiling faces and watching everyone having such a good time.
I don’t think there is anything I would do differently it honestly was the most perfect day.
We hired the string quartet ‘Vitula String Quartet‘, for our church and reception drinks.
