This was always going to be a superb wedding day, Jason first met Amy & her lovely Mum Julie at one of the open evenings at Samlesbury Hall they fell in love with our "Crystal Top Table Design" and the rest as they say is history.
When I had the pleasure of meeting up with them it was really just a case of dotting the i's and crossing the t's but then I did get to create an exquisite sample wedding bouquet in deep midnight blue and ivory shades including lots seasonal gorgeousness.
The Bridesmaids hanging on Jason's every word, I don't know how he commands such attention, anyway the bouquet holding lesson went very well and the Bridesmaids were just fabulous carrying smaller versions of Amy's bridal bouquet
Amy and her Bridesmaids were all getting ready in The Bridal Lodge, it's an ideal space to be getting ready in, loads of room and lots of good lighting and within the grounds of Samlesbury Hall
The entrance to main building at Samlesbury Hall was framed by two of our lantern trees, creating a real warm welcome for the guests on such a wintery day
Amy's lovely Brother and Father, that's me straightening Dad's tie!!!
Don't they look gorgeous, a deep burgundy red Rose to match his tie for Amy's Brother and a Crisp white Rose with Champagne Grass and berries for the Bride's Father
The Groom and his Groom's men were all looking superb in their uniforms
Due to the number of guests the ceremony was held in The Great Hall, a truly breathtaking setting with such fabulous authentic features, a heavenly room to get married in.
We'd arranged two Candelabras on either side of the Registrars table and some lovely crystal candle lit designs on the Registrars table itself, the aisle was lined with hurricane lamps and beautiful fresh flowers and candles were arranged around the hall to create a romantic atmosphere.
The two candelabras on either side of the portrait of Queen Anne were on tall pedestal stands
The candelabras were surrounded by fresh Orchids, Tulips, Eryngium Thistles and Classic Blue Hydrangeas.
The Grand Piano within this magnificent stained glass bay window was also dressed with a collection of delicate designs in crystal ware
Lovely cake pedestals with arrangements of Gentiana, Roses, Tulips, Hydrangeas and Thistles
A roaring fire perfect for the end of November
