Jayne and Chris's Wedding 2011
A great Day was had by one and all.
Weddings are forever more exceptional if they include a relative of the direct family or personal friend, and especially if you are going to be directly involved in the preparations for that big day.
Being with Jayne to choose her wedding gown constituted a really emotive moment in time. Jayne appeared as a complete vision of beauty in her stylish lace wedding gown, and the grin on her face was all that was needed to tell us that she'd found the one and only wedding dress for her !
Picking out the bridesmaids and the maid of hounour dresses was just as emotive when we discovered the exact matches to the wedding gown, which featured vintage lace and were very pretty dresses, which would suit the three girls.
Everything was quickly put in place for the magic occasion. On the day, the church which had been booked previously looked very impressive, adorned with hydrangeas, candles and hearts. Chris, the bridgroom, looked dashing and extremely calm whilst we all eagerly awaited the arrival of Jayne, the beautiful bride.
Jayne looked sensational and the bridesmaids following along complimented her beautifully. The service itself was resplendant and full of passion and love, and emodied the best of heartfelt wishes towards the newlyweds.
Everyone was looking forward to the reception party, We all arrived at the beautiful Low Wood Hotel for a much needed refreshments at a brief initial reception in the gardens overlooking Lake Windermere in the Lake District. The weather actually behaved itself on the day and the sun shone on us all, which was a blessing in itself.
Everyone at the reception enjoyed a scrumptious three course wedding breakfast, followed by homemade chocolate and candy fudge wedding favours. The making of these personalised candy wedding favours was to be the initial spark of inspiration for Candystripe Favours just a few short months later.
After the wedding Breakfast reception, which took us all a while to recover from because of our over indulgence of the meal and the candy wedding treats. To help with the recovery we decided to take a cruise on the Lake Widermere steamer which was just the ticket, allowing us time to relax and recover. Veiwing the fells, resplendant in all their glory, in the sunshine, was an amazing sight and will be well remembered as an itegral part of the wedding day. It was a great chance to relax, socialise with friends and relatives, and take in the glory of the day.
After such a gorgeous day, all of the wedding party and close friends of both families were then treated to an evening wedding reception, which included lots of dancing, convivial drinking, socialising, and a chance to renew old friendships, make new friends, and have some great fun at the same time. It was truly a joy to see the whole extended family and friends enjoying themselves and coming together as a group to celebrate Jayne and Chris' marriage.
We all wish Jayne and Chris a long, happy, healthy, prosperous and fulfilling life together.
