Jacqui & Will

I have been looking forward to sharing this wedding on the blog for a while now and for the reason that not only was this a totally gorgeous wedding captured so sweetly and perfectly by Jonny Draper but it was also a wedding where the couple, Jacqui and Will were so lovely to work with and it was such a pleasure to have their wedding at the Lodge! 

After the church ceremony the couple and their 180 guests (our biggest wedding to date!) made their way over to Styal Lodge 

 The Lodge look so elegant and perfect for a May wedding. The high ceiling was filled with white lanterns and organza draped across (all venue dressing by Emma @ Special Days)  

 The best table names ever? What a great personal idea! Here's just a few...

 As always when the room dressing is finished the spot lights come on and light up the flowers making everything look that little bit extra special.

 Boxes for writing messgaes in were placed on the table settings

 While the drinks reception flowed the Bride and Groom were whisked away to the platform with Jonny for some pictures

 In May the water is surrounded by yellow Iris's and looks stunning!

 This took some organisation from Jonny but he managed a great group shot in the garden!!

 Jacqui and Will make their entrance as husband and wife.

 The couple decided to be seated on a round table in the middle of their guests. I love this picture of Jacqui's dad starting his speech cheered on by his daughter.

 Love these evening garden shots

 Pink Pepper's famous cheese table to keep the guests going into the evening

 Time to cut the cake!

 Then on to the first dance... I featured this picture recently in my last post about The First Dance and it has to be one of my favourites it's so atmospheric! And Jacqui's dress looks amazing...

 Starting the evening entertainment was a great band- Madison. We started recommending this band after we saw them at this wedding they are brilliant!

And finally the couple had this shot made into their Thank you cards which was a great idea. This is what our card had written inside:

We wanted to thank you all for your hard work in getting us ready for our wedding. We ahd the most perfect day and a lot of that was down to all your wonderful attension to detail. We fell in love with styal Lodge as soon as we saw it and we knew there was no other venue for us! It certainly lived up to its reputation and the perfect setting for our wedding. We shall miss coming up and seeing you all!

Lots of Love to Jacqui and Will and all the best for their future together!
