Bride, bridesmaids and flower-girl's
dresses:
Bridal Cottage, Fleetwood.
Very friendly and very helpful. All the
dresses were beautiful, as we're sure most guests will
agree. As for the bride's dress, well, it broke the
bank but it was stunning and looked fantastic.
Groom, best man, pageboys, fathers
and ushers suits:
J.S. Walkers, Fleetwood
Walkers are a long-established and traditional
tailors, so they really knew what they were doing. They
had a few short people to deal with but they managed
it. Pity the guys couldn't remember what they had been
told about how to do the cravats properly!
Photographer:
R.S. Studio, Fleetwood
Robert was really informal which helped
us to be less nervous and make better pictures as a
result. He had a whole range of ideas on poses and locations,
giving good variety to the pictures.
Flowers, bouquets, buttonholes:
Four Seasons Florists, Fleetwood
All the girls had beautiful flowers and
the shop provided some very impressive bouquets for
the mothers. It took a lot of persuading to make Dave
wear a big flower on his suit though!
Cars and limousines:
Limo Limo, Thornton-Cleveleys
The cars were great and earned quite
a few glances from the people out on the streets on
the wedding day. As they all used to belong to celebrities
such as Michael Jackson and Princess Anne, it felt really
special travelling in them.
Coaches for guests:
Elite Coaches, Fleetwood
Elite provided two minibuses to take
all the guests to the wedding. We're just glad that
they didn't get lost and managed to squeeze down the
country lanes.
Bride, bridesmaids etc. hairstyles:
TK35, Fleetwood
The stylists here did a great job of
dealing with a whole horde of women at 7.30 in the morning.
The results were very impressive and they all looked
their best.
Wedding cake:
Joan Riley, Fleetwood
Joan made an absolutely beautiful cake.
It consisted of four tiers, decorated with flowers and
gold leaves with white swans on top. It was actually
four different cakes of fruit, chocolate, lemon and
an orange/chocolate mix. Yummy.
Evening reception buffet:
Joan Briggs, Fleetwood
The food spread featured a good choice
for everyone. It was all very well laid out and sneakily
featured some of Dave's favourite foods.
Evening reception DJ:
Krazy Karl, Fleetwood
This guy does great parties and really
gets everyone going. After entertaining the kids (and
some adults) with balloon animals, he does a a cracking
disco and karaoke.
Balloons, decorations:
The Amazing Balloon Company, Blackpool
We had a column of balloons on each side
of the stage, some on the tables, and loads on the dance
floor for the kids to kick about.
Stationery (invitations,
place cars etc.):
Ashton Printers, Fleetwood
We got some really nice stationery with
gold and red hearts. Lindsey then spent hours writing
them out with a gold calligraphy pen!
