Members of the Flowers from the Farm pilot study group that is led by Everingham flower farmer Gill Hodgson have launched a competition to find a local couple who are getting married in East Yorkshire on the 25th August 2012 and who would like to celebrate their Big Day with beautiful, seasonal Yorkshire grown flowers.
