Cvil Ceremony at The Great Hall at Mains, Richard & Lesley Parsons, 28th March 2009

Richard & Lesley chose the outstandingly wonderful Great Hall at Mains for their full on family wedding, with forty nine children on the guest list, this was always going to be a big proper family celebration.We dressed the ceremony with tall conical vases filled with fresh spring flowers including Eremurus and golden Cymbidium Orchids.

These tall vases were to be used later on the dining tables.

The registrars table design was dominated by chunky candles to lend a little romance, we used lots of fragrant flowers in this design including cream stocks & hyacinths, their fragrance filled The Great Hall with the scent of fresh spring flowers.

This is the lovely Gemma from TGHM lighting all the myriad of candles.

A Kiss on the cheek

The ceremony was lovely and all of the children were brilliantly well behaved, they all seemed to genuinley enjoy the ceremony, every credit to the excellent Registrars.

The Great Hall at Mains is a superb venue for a civil ceremony, the room has a grandeur that makes it worthy of the vows being said.

The official photographer for the day was the enigmatic Martyn Pearson, we're really looking forward to seeing his work! Here's a link to his web site, Martyn did the photography at one of our florists weddings you'll be able to see her gallery look out for Jo & Jamie Fenwick.

Congratulations Lesley & Richard and many thanks for letting us be involved in your Big Day

There was also lots of kissing going on...

Lesley's wedding bouquet really suited her, her colouring, the time of year and the style of day Richard & Lesley wanted, relaxed, fun yet meaningful and elegant.

Lesley's hair and all the beautiful bridesmaid's hair was created by my very good friend Sol, from Sol's Hair & Beauty on Clifton Drive, Lytham St Annes, here's a link to Sol in action at one of our events.

The children had loads of outdoor toys from Sunshine Events and Taz the amazing children's entertainer seriously entertained.

All of the children had an amazing time
