The Proposal

Annabelle and Anthony initially crossed paths at work and developed a strong friendship. Eventually, this turned into something more and as they say, "the rest is history"! When the time came to take their relationship to the next level, they happily chose an engagement ring together at Rox Liverpool. Anthony then proposed at the London Carriage Works in Liverpool, the very place where the pair had their first proper date.

The Wedding Venue

Their chosen wedding venue was Eaves Hall, a breathtaking Georgian-style country house located in the Lancashire countryside near Clithroe. Standing in the stunning Ribble Valley with captivating architecture and exquisite décor, Eaves Hall offered a picturesque setting for Annabelle and Anthony's special day. The lovingly renovated interiors showcase the best of the buildings original features, creating a distinctive, contemporary atmosphere. The 30 bedrooms, ranging from luxury suites to more modest twins and singles, all share the same meticulous attention to detail and are perfect for guests to spend the night after celebrating.

Quiet and picturesque, Eaves Hall gave the couple the privacy they wanted amongst 13 acres of award-winning gardens for their big day. The couple praised the staff at Eaves Hall, emphasising that they couldn't have been more accommodating. They also expressed gratitude to Thornton Events, who played a crucial role in meticulously planning every detail of their celebration.

The couple said: "Thank God we found Eaves Hall! The most stunning venue, the most incredible staff and just the most perfect place to get married. We couldn't ask for anything more, everything ran seamlessly from start to finish, we will always be grateful, and we can't wait to keep revisiting to keep the memory of the happiest day of our lives."

Their wedding was captured beautifully by Laura Wade Photography, who Annabelle and Anthony loved working with because of her calming presence and for going above and beyond to capture those special moments in her classy and elegant style. Lauren Potts from Brides of Social served as the content creator for the day, and the newlyweds were over the moon with the hundreds of stunning photos and videos provided shortly after the wedding.

The Ceremony

Annabelle and Anthony hosted a beautiful outdoor ceremony in the front grounds of Eaves Hall, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. A stunning floral arch, adorned with green foliage and delicate white flowers, provided a pretty backdrop for the couple's heartfelt exchanging of vows. As they made their way down the aisle, the shower of confetti created the perfect opportunity for a deep dip kiss — this photo is one of the couple's favourites and stood out a highlight of their special day.

The Fashion

The bride opted for a sophisticated cowl neck wedding dress from Dotty Bridal in Huddersfield. She chose a gorgeous Pronovias fit and flare design that complemented the timeless elegance of the theme and suited her perfectly completing her look with white statement earrings, Jimmy Choo heels and a flowing veil adorned with appliqués.

Complementing her choice, the groom wore a sleek black suit paired with a matching waistcoat, silvery tie and dark brown shoes. The two outfits really worked well together and felt timeless and glamourous.

Taupe bridesmaids dresses

For the bridesmaids dresses, the couple chose pretty halter neck gowns in a taupe colour. This added variation to the neutral colour palette with a deeper tone. All of Annabelle's bridesmaids looked stunning in their dresses and completed their looks with crisp white peony bouquets (matching the bride) and simple pearl drop earrings.

The Entertainment

Annabelle and Anthony added an extra layer of magic to their special day with their chosen musical entertainment. During the drinks reception, they chose Abbie Hanlon to serenade their guests, while Exceed Events took charge as the DJ for the evening. Arthur from We Are Musique lent his melodic touch on the saxophone, all contributing to the fantastic atmosphere. The couple was thrilled with the entertainment, feeling that their special day wouldn't have been complete without these talented performers.

Special Touches

A unique idea that we love about Annabelle and Anthony's day was the inclusion of custom drink tags featuring their wedding logo. This was added to all the Pimms served during the drinks reception. Guests were delighted by the delicious drinks and praised the couple for the added detail. The couple also made sure that Eaves Hall was adorned with an abundance of white flowers and candles, ensuring all of the decor worked seamlessly with their white and neutral colour scheme.
