Your North West Wedding - October/November 2022 (Issue 76)

I love candles, in fact, our house is filled with them, so obviously we had to have them lining the aisle and around the ceremony room. We also had candles as favours, which we personalised with the date of the wedding and our favourite scents. I created our table plan using an old picture frame and painted it sage green to tie in with our colour theme. Our place names were made by a family friend and were elegant and timeless. We used the same shade of green throughout to tie in with our natural theme. Our centrepieces were a mixture of high and low floral arrangements. We used plenty of green and white flowers, plus a few natural branches to tie in with the trees outside. The flowers were created by Eden Of Chorley, who included large white roses and gypsophila with lots of leafy greens. They smelt amazing and lasted for weeks after the wedding! All food was created by the West Tower’s in-house chef. We were able to sample the menu six months before the wedding, and West Tower were so flexible and accommodating. They provided the bridal party with a breakfast platter to kick start the day, and we had a selection of welcome canapés for our guests following the ceremony whilst the photos took place. We also had a three-course meal, which the guests had self-selected before the wedding. To finish, we had late-night nibbles of fish and chip cones, mini-burgers and mini-pizzas to give us the fuel for dancing the night away! Every part of the food was spot on and tasted incredible. The cake was a four-tied design with chocolate and sponge layers. It was created by a family member who did the most amazing job. We really liked the minimalist aesthetic, and had white layers with handmade roses and a gold ribbon around it. It was perfect and matched our personalities to a tee. West Tower is such a bright, fresh-looking venue which brought in lots of natural light. The reception space had incredible views overlooking the fields with eye-catching sunsets. The cellar bar and cosy leather lounge paired perfectly with our January wedding as it had warming fires to keep our guests cosy and relaxed. 24
