You will notice bay leaves are flat. The trees used in the wedding have leaves that are not flat.
Anthony I cannot see them clearly from the photos but from your own photos the Portuguese laurel has serrated edges but the Laurel nobilis has a slightly wavy edge without the serrated bits. I have been having a look at the strange shape of the trees in question and have discovered this is called 'pleaching'. It is designed to allow walls etc to be seen below the head of the tree. Maybe they have been borrowed from his hotel for the day. Maggie your photos of the flowering cherry trees are very nice in those huge arrangements but what a shame that they have been chopped, unless they are artificial (silk). They do all seem to be the same size. I hope somebody from Dunblane will let us know.
