Inspiration

Lottie & George’s wedding at Silverholme Manor has warmed our hearts completely. There are so many wedding photos with guests laughing so much they’re crying, beaming smiles and adoring gazes. Seriously, the love is palpable in these wedding pics. We’d like to ask what was in those wedding speeches that got everyone giggling so much! The wedding day had a classic black tie dress code with a colour palette of white, green and gold to complement the stunning backdrop of the Lake District. What a place to tie the knot! Of course, this was all captured by the talented Recommended Supplier, Ben Barron.

Silverholme Manor Wedding

Lottie & George tied the knot at Silverholme Manor in the Lake District. The Grade II listed Georgian manor has unrivalled views over Lake Windermere, which was the ultimate selling point for Lottie & George. With 8 en-suite bedrooms and a private cottage for 2, it was the perfect place to make some memories with their loved ones! For the wedding day, the couple opted to embrace the natural beauty of the venue and the backdrop of the Lake District with white, green and touches of gold, including those stunning gold bridesmaid dresses! Lottie & George prioritised a minimal but stylish vibe with some personal touches, which included two wedding readings, The Art of Marriage by Wilfred Peterson and Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton. They ended the day with a bang. Literally. Lottie’s mum and sister arranged a surprise firework display. What an incredible day!

Hoping to have guests laughing with your wedding speeches? Keep it short and sweet

Everything will be okay on the day! Try and enjoy the planning process because the day itself goes so quickly. That being said, we recommend planning a day-two! We absolutely loved spending quality time with everyone the day after our wedding and it meant more time to make sure we saw all our guests properly and people commented how lovely it was to make a weekend of it.
