Carmel & Lee Gordon's Black & White Wedding Day at The Great Hall at Mains, 31st July 2009

The scene was set at the Glorious Great Hall we used huge black martini glasses filled with Black and White Calla Lilies & Black & White Gerberas on either side of the fireplace. We placed a design on the bar to welcome the guests as they arrived and detailed designs on all the windowsills

We placed a series of black, clear and mirrored cubes on both Registrars tables.

The Great Hall is a very special venue and the team there headed up by Chriss are so brilliant it really is a joy to work with them, here's a link to their brand new blog

The Bridesmaid's lined up for photographs, they carried very simple fans of white roses and finger palms

The Bride arrived in style

The professional photographers for the day were new to us but they seemed thoroughly professional here's Dave Tipton from Silver Image photographing our lovely bride Carmel

Carmel's fabulous princess style gown was purchased from Celebration Village in Manchester

Carmel's wedding bouquet was created with lots of beautiful Schwartzwalder Calla Lilies with white Roses, Arabicum and framed by huge Fan Palms & Champagne Grass.
