Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - Page number 36 - September/October 2021 (Issue 59)

SHOWERED WITH LOVE The Tithe Barn at Meols Hall struck a chord with Rebekah and Robert. “It was so picturesque and fitted the relaxed feel we wanted for our wedding,” the bride told us, and the rain failed to put a dampener their big day. OPPOSITES ATTRACT Lizzie and Rich said “I do” at The Cock O’Barton, near Chester, and created a relaxed vibe for their celebrations. The bridal party’s attire and the nature-inspired colour palette reflected this perfectly. Lizzie was inspired by bridal boutique Along Came Eve when she walked past it one day and spotted a stunning floral gown in the window. “I just knew it would have the dress for me,” she said, and wasn’t wrong. Amongst the beautiful samples she found the one, Azriel by Watters. The bridesmaids complemented the theme in maxi dresses with a super-cool peach floral chintz fabric. TACKLED BY LOVE Jade and Stuart said “I do” at Stock Farm. When thoughts initially turned to the wedding day following their engagement, the venue goals were somewhere rustic, with a relaxed atmosphere and picturesque views. And, Jade told us, “Stock Farm had all of this and more.” The pair opted for a Brazilian banquet barbecue from The Flaming Gourmand for their wedding breakfast. The bride said, “It’s food we love and it tied in well with our relaxed theme.” They enjoyed picana steak, maple chicken, and chimichurri portabello mushrooms. In the evening they served posh dogs with caramelised onions and Cheshire cheese sauce, followed by dessert from an ice cream van. A DAY TO REMEMBER Louise and Alex chose an intimate countryside vibe for their celebrations at Nunsmere Hall, with rustic touches such as country garden flowers, brown paper, burlap, string and a palette base of racing green. Louise shared some words of wisdom, “We chose to have our speeches before the wedding breakfast, which made the speechmakers very happy. None of the men were natural public speakers, so this allowed them to relax and enjoy their food. We didn’t want them to worry about it any longer than they had to.” Images: www.jessicastottphotography.com Images: https://carolinewhitephotography.co.uk Images: www.photographyjoebickerton.com Images: www.adamjoeroberts.com RUSTIC romance A beloved member of our CWM editorial team will be tying the knot next year and has chosen a rustic vibe for her styling.
