Gemma & Andy Piley's Tropical Wedding at Fleetwood Town Football Club


Preparations started the evening before this amazing wedding day, we had a huge team on site at Fleetwood Town Football Club creating the bigger designs like this one; in a massive fountain in the centre of the entrance marquee
Our team in the marquee included Vicki, Shirl, Jill and Renske





Then we all moved up to the stadium and the Parkside suite to complete the designs for the ceremony
We had to use a bit of muscle for this part so Sean, Jason & Tom got involved
The following morning Jason found the very beautiful Gemma and her lovely Mum & Bridesmaid's at the DeVere where they were all getting ready


Then we were back to The Football Club to pin on all of the buttonholes

And present the wrist corsages
The Parkside Suite in The Highbury Stadium is a fabulous setting for a civil ceremony, everything is so beautifully finished, including the ceiling complete with a changing sky, light panels, the view of the pitch is of course spectacular.
We'd decided on a "Totally Tropical" theme for the day, the colours throughout were based around the team colours of FTFC red & white for the home colours and red & yellow for their away colours. These huge designs included full banana flowers, Heliconia "Prince of Darkness" and "Mayan Gold" together with the "Bumble Bee" Orchid Oncidium, Yellow & Red Cymbidium Orchids and Gingers.
It all looked completely spectacular with the screen and all chair covers provided by Dawn and her team from Creative Cover Hire


On the backs of some of the chairs we arranged posies of Gloriosa Rothschild and Fire Flash Roses and Cymbidium Orchids


The perfect frame and backdrop for the ceremony
The Groom arrived, we pinned on his Deep Red Rose Boutonniere

Then lots of lovely Flower Girls, Page Boys and Bridesmaids
The fabulous Bridesmaids and Gemma's Mum in the centre
