The final result was even better than we expected and looking back at the photos they match perfectly with our bright colourful day!&#8221; \u00a0Thank you, Hannah!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">And very well done to you both!<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/stemflowers.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/dancing-down-the-aisle1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image aligncenter\" id=\"i-571\" title=\"Hannah and Adrian dancing down the aisle\" alt=\"Hannah and Adrian happy wedding bright flowers\" src=\"http:\/\/stemflowers.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/06\/dancing-down-the-aisle1.jpg?w=591\" width=\"302\" height=\"446\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Thank you to <a title=\"Rachael Emily Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/www.Rachael-Emily.com\">Rachael Emily Photography<\/a>\u00a0for letting me use her\u00a0fantastic, vibrant photos. \u00a0They really capture the \u00a0joyous vibe of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fabulous bright colours of Hannah and Adrian&#8217;s wedding flowers were totally in keeping with the joyous feeling of the day. \u00a0They are a really cool couple and they carried off with style the beautiful clash of dark purples, pillar-box reds and acid greens.
