Family friendly wedding at Nunsmere

Wedding family shot

Kate and Mark with little Eva - their wedding is all the more amazing for the family focus of the day

This wedding is a treat, and all the more special for a very special little flower girl, daughter of the bride and groom and the star of the show. She’s adorable and clearly loving her mum & dad’s wedding celebrations.

Bride Kate is absolutely beautiful, and she and Mark make a striking couple. Their photographs (by Chris Hanley) are exquisite, combining dramatic scenes, romance and emotion, and some fantastic fun shots around the venue.

It’s flower time! Real wedding flowers by Green Earth Flowers of Cheshire

Orchids and teacupsAnother visual spectacle today, with a little more detail from Katie and James’s wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn which I featured a few days ago. Chris Hanley was the photographer – a regular favourite on English Wedding – and he sang the praises of Laura from Green Earth Flowers.

Made for each other.

Katie and James had a beautiful wedding day in Cheshire with an Italian theme. From Katie’s Jimmy Choos to the luxury of Sandhole Oak Barn, and then glorious diamonds, lace and orchids, this wedding is a dream.

I fell in love with the photos instantly when they landed in my inbox last week, courtesy of the fabulous Cheshire wedding photographer Chris Hanley. There’s everything you’d ever want from your wedding photos in here: contemporary chic and fashionable elegance, tender emotional looks and dramatic skies.

The Belle Epoque wedding venue

The Belle Epoque in Cheshire is an opulent wedding venue, richly decorated and full of character. A gorgeous little gem with bags of character, I had to do a little wedding venue feature to show you this one!

Owned and operated by a single family over 35 years, the Belle Epoque has such wonderful features as marble pillars, art deco fireplaces and luscious detailing around every corner. It really makes a statement and is a glorious treat for your wedding day.

A wedding of pure beauty

Catherine and Kevin at The Belle Epoque in Cheshire

Combine the incredible setting of Cheshire’s Belle Epoque wedding venue with the astonishing talent of Chris Hanley Photography and the natural beauty of today’s bride Catherine, and you have a wedding that is second to none.

I’m actually reluctant to write words to accompany this post, I think the beautiful photography speaks for itself and I don’t want to spoil that! There are way more photographs than I usually blog, so grab a coffee, sit comfortably and enjoy a little peek of the Chris Hanley Experience.

Luxury bridal store relaunch near my house!

Caroline Castigliano Wilmslow

Caroline Castigliano boutique in Wilmslow, Cheshire, home of the minted.

Well, maybe not right near my house. But pretty damn close! Cheshire is a great place, a luxury hideaway for some of the UK’s most minted celebrities and a mix of cultures on Manchester’s doorstep. We have rolling hills and some of the best shopping in the UK, with our own Harvey Nicks and Lamborghini dealership (now that one really is near my house).

Wilmslow is the posh end of Manchester, just down the road from studentville and home to Manchester’s rich and famous. Where better for top English bridalwear designer Caroline Castigliano to showcase her extensive wedding gown collection, with many gowns that until now have been exclusive to the Knightsbridge boutique.
