An Island Wedding | Raven's Ait, Kingston

A few weeks ago, Laura and I worked together on a wedding on a little island in Kingston. I now only want to do weddings that mean I have to be taken there by boat.

While we waited on the other side of the river to be collected, a bloke kindly offered to give us a hand loading onto the boat - we enthusiastically said yes. I really felt his heart drop when we then opened the boots of two different vans and starting loading out a lot of flowers and equipment. I think the assumption is that flowers aren’t heavy right? But lots of flowers in buckets of water, branches, and weighted arches are pretty heavy though. So anyway, thank you that man - we very much appreciated it!

Here are some of the pictures including some of the making of the arch and Laura looking cute as a button.

As ever, foam free and lots of locally grown flowers.
