Your North West Wedding - October/November 2024 (Issue 88)

To keep our guests fed, we had a lovely barbecue buffet provided by the Lancashire Manor Hotel. It was absolutely beautiful, and it was one of the best barbecues I’ve ever had. We had so much positive feedback from our guests regarding the food. Daniel and I chose a four-tiered cake that tied in with our colour scheme. It was created by Michelle at Mrs T’s Homemade Treats. I order regularly from Michelle and we have become friends; I highly recommend her work. The base was carrot flavour, the next layer was raspberry and white chocolate, then Lotus Biscoff, and the top was strawberry and vanilla. I had so many compliments about the cake to pass on to Michelle. Our flowers were a mixture of white and ivory peonies and roses with foliage. We purchased them from Artificial Flowers and Accessories by Sara-Louise. I came across her beautiful flowers and thought her prices were brilliant. For the centrepieces, we had ivory and foliage bouquets on gold geometric stands on half of the tables, with candles and foliage on the others. Sticking with our colour schemes of sage, creams, whites and golds, the company Bridal Attractions provided a chocolate fountain, a dancefloor, Mr and Mrs lights and a photo booth. When we first visited Lancashire Manor Hotel, I knew instantly that we were going to get married there. We love anything that’s got character and the décor just felt right for us. I made my own favours with the help of my friend Jodie. I love anything creative, so we decided to make 90 biscuits, all iced with our married name. I had a name cutter made and purchased biscuit cutters; I also used glitter-shimmering dust powder to add a finishing touch. 34
