Sarah at Olive Owl Flowers draped gorgeous fabric along the tables, which puddled at each end, and there were hundreds of candles of all different heights and sizes in the barn, creating a lovely glow. St Mary and All Saints Church is our local church and we walk past it each day on our daily dog walks. It felt special to us and we liked it was somewhere we could continue to visit. We’ve gotten to know Reverand Jonathon and the congregation well; everyone was lovely and friendly. Our centrepieces were a mixture of candles scattered around bud vases with blooms and tray displays that had been used in church. We had two long tables and a top table. We felt like this really fit with our laid-back vibe, as we didn’t want it to feel like a conference! We put on coach transportation for our guests using Red Rose Travel. For our car, we chose a 1947 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud from Broughton Wedding Cars and the bridesmaids travelled in a Range Rover Velar. Browsholme Hall was a joy from the moment we went to look around. We fell in love with the grounds and just how laid-back everything felt. Anything we wanted to do was no big deal; we could really put our stamp on our day and whatever we wanted they made happen. My brother’s partner, Sara, surprised us with a gorgeous homemade cake, complete with a wolf figure in ode to our Tamaskan Wolfdog, Laska. We had lots of our favourite cakes on a dessert table in the evening, some made by our friend Jules and others by the head pastry chef at Grantley Hall. We went for a lovely tasting meal at Twelve Restaurant & Event Management and from this we devised a tailored menu, including sharing platter starters, individual main courses, and an assiette of desserts. 26
