In a tale that began with a swipe right, Emily and Jai found love on the online app Hinge, defying the conventional narrative of serendipitous encounters. While Jai playfully insists, they met by reaching for the same coffee cup at a coffee shop, the truth of their modern romance sparkled through their online connection. Their first date at Manchester's Bar Hold Fast, complete with Donkey Kong and Mario Kart battles, set the stage for a love story that would lead them to the enchanting Sefton Park Palm House.

Having proposed in the breath-taking Galápagos Islands in 2022, Emily and Jai chose the Palm House as the backdrop for their wedding, captivated by its resemblance to the place where their love story took a significant turn. Emily had previously attended a friend's wedding at the Palm House, and the memories of its beauty lingered, making it the only choice for their special day.

Choosing the right florist was a crucial decision, and Booker Flowers stole their hearts. Mia, from Booker Flowers, wove her floral magic during an opening evening at the Palm House, and Fleur's warm and helpful demeanour sealed the deal during a consultation. The tropical and wildflower theme came to life through vibrant colours, a nod to the couple's rich cultural backgrounds - Jai's South Asian heritage and Emily's traditional English roots
