These beautiful images are by the very talented Hannah Dornford May Photography from a photoshoot I was involved with a little while ago. Hannah was photographing this gorgeous couple for Erica Stacey Bridalwear in Manchester. They asked if I would create a bouquet to use in the shoot with pretty autumn wedding flowers. The bouquet I created is a hand tied design with lots of texture. The flowers include sunflowers, roses, hypericum berries, bupleurum and dried lavender.
