Wedding of Dan and Julia Yates

An amazing day was had by all at Dan and Julias vintage wedding at Julias parents farm in WoodPlumpton

The Mahoods Marquee looked stunning with three seperate areas which were a reception area with a raised terrace, a restaurant area and a "Hidden" Night club!

Julias personal creative touches were everywhere from Chocolate Quails eggs favours for the boys.

To homemade jam favours for the girls.

Also everyone had their own heart shape name plaque.

The flowers were by the irrepressible legend who is Mrs Margaret Mason

And not to mention Sam Clayton who was looking after the Photography for the whole day

The Tables looked great with Rowleys own Collection of fine bone china

Best men Nick Yates and Dan Mullen practicing their speeches while nibbling on Rowleys Canapes.

Quails eggs were a theme throughout with a tasting spoon of Crispy Bacon, Asparagus, Hollandaise and of course the fresh Quails eggs.

This specific canape was created by Rowleys especially for the special day.

Everyone was having a fabulous time in the sunny weather whilst being entertained by the fabulous Charlese
