Wedding of Debbie Greer & Chris Gregson @ Lytham Hall Saturday 19th September

Chris and Debbie had the perfect day at Lytham Hall on Saturday

Chris with his Best Man and Groomsmen arrived 1st to check everything was in order

Soon after the guests arrived for an exclusive wedding ceremony in the Gold Room


We think this must be the most stunning room on the Fylde coast, a beautiful setting in which to make your wedding vows to each other


Stunning !

Debbie arrives by classic car with Brian, her father under the close supervision of the chief bridesmaid

After the ceremony the guests were treated to Kir Royales, the usual array of Rowley’s delicious canapes

and amazing card tricks from ‘A professional Trickster’

While the happy couple had their pictures taken on the steps of the Great Hall

The wedding breakfast took place in the Lower West Wing which looked fantastic, mainly due to the wonderful array of flowers from Jane and Jason Thompson of Flower Design who were personally on hand the check every detail.

We have to say of all the florists we work with, you cannot get a more professional and personal service than Flower Design provide. From the initial planning to Jane spending hours uploading photo’s of the day onto her blog. Every detail is covered and taken care of.

Debbie and Chris are very much into their music and therefore all the tables were named after their favourite albums.

And the excellent Creative Cover Hire put the finishing touches to the chairs

The food was exquisite and stunning to look at, and your co-ordination on the day was so seamless, I could tell you had your eye on everything that went on!
