Everybody waited for the big wedding day of Patrick and Yolande. Fans were glued to the scene when the episode of their wedding was aired. But little did they know, behind the cameras, something more exciting was happening. Even the flowers had a story. The florist Sarah Rozee, 52, runs a small business in Essex. She was the woman who was assigned to design the big day. She admitted the job felt “surreal”. Sarah also sat beside the soap legend Adam Woodyatt, who plays Ian Beale. He was casually sipping a rum punch between takes.

Sarah revealed she usually works on local weddings and events. She mentioned it was her first big job for television. Even though she was nervous, she still tried to consider it as any other event. She felt the pressure as it was for a BBC prime-time soap and was watched by millions.

Sarah created those beautiful, vibrant designs. She also spoke with the BBC soap cast. Rozee called the cast lovely. She later watched the episode with her family. And she couldn’t resist pointing out her own work on screen. That day will forever be etched in her mind. It was not a job for her; it was a memory she will always remember.

The wedding was a beautiful, romantic reunion of two amazing souls. However, it was also a celebration of the couple’s Caribbean roots. The show bosses wanted the floral designs to tie into the Jamaican and Trinidad & Tobago Flags. They wanted to add cultural depth to the episode.

Sarah revealed she used bold Birds of Paradise, Strelitzia and Anthuriums. She also used two striking floral arches to frame the aisle. The bouquets and corsages were made fresh. Other elements were reused to stay eco-friendly.

Fans admired the burst of colour and authenticity. However, they didn’t realise the thought that went into every detail. Sarah revealed that the soap team asked her to combine beauty with sustainability. She was impressed when she saw how good the flowers looked on screen.
