Your North West Wedding- December 2020/Janaury 2021 (Issue 65)

Leona and I chose a hog roast and buffet- style service to keep the atmosphere relaxed. As it was close to December, we requested that festive lights were put up for our wedding. We also had log fires burning when our guests arrived. Our centrepieces were flowers and rum bottles. We had our guests fill in a scroll with a message and put it in the bottle on their table. On our first anniversary, we smashed them and read all the lovely notes. We chose to get married at Broadoakes Country House as it was the perfect mixture of theatrical and musical, both of which are very important to us. The grounds and house are beautiful, and we fell in love with the place. The cake was made by my mum. It tasted great, and we accompanied it with lots of cupcakes. We didn’t give our guests specific seats so that they could mingle. 22
