Our landscaped gardens with water feature make the perfect setting for your Wedding photographs.


WHEN a wedding is planned, it is the ladies in the family Who set the pace and style. It is they who decide whether the male members of the wedding party will wear lounge suits or the more formal morning dress. The bride will select


her gown and decide on the style of the bridesmaids' clothes. The bride's mother will confer with the bridegroom's mother regarding outfit colours, so they do not clash when pho­ tographed together. The bride and her


-mother will select the reception, the food and the cake.


They will decide on


the flowers and other decorations. They will certainly


choose the stationery. The s ty le of the


bride's gown is a high­ ly personal matter. It will depend on


her build, her colour­ ing and her personali­ ty. Many gowns echo past periods, such as the decolletage and high waist of the empire line; the long, loan lines of medieval


. gowns; the fullTskirt- ed Victorian style,'-the elegant drape of Edwardian dress, or a thoroughly.modern':
