In September 2000, Russell was faced with the ultimate florist's challenge - what flowers and designs to use for his own wedding.
After many hours of discussion with his staff, family and wife-to-be, Russell decided the whole event should be a surprise from the wedding breakfast to the bridal bouquet itself.
Ramster Hall, the venue for the wedding, demanded a soft, almost fantastical theme. A combination of organza fabrics, scented candles, wrought iron candelabra's and candlesticks coupled with fresh fruits and an abundance of country style flowers and Foliage created this romantic atmosphere perfectly.

| The bridal bouquet was a wired shower bouquet filled with lily of the valley, roses, phalanopsis orchids, honeysuckle, and many garden flowers from the mother of-the bride's garden. |
The candlelit ceremony was held in the drawing room and the numerous candelabras filled the room, complimenting the antiques and furnishings that were already there. |
