Oh Styal Lodge I love you – the venue that looks different inside and out EVERY time you’re there. It’s so beautiful and versatile, the terrace is a summer haven that is beautifully kept all year round and literally changes week to week (that’s Sarah’s hard work and dedication to it!) The interior needs nothing doing to it because in it’s bare form it’s something straight out of ‘Grand Designs’ – but it can also have absolutely anything done to it and it looks spectacular. And not forgetting the gorgeous Higham family who own it. It’s their place, they work every single wedding and every bride and groom is so important and special to them. It’s a fabulous place to be in. All those reasons are why Nicky & Graham fell in love with the lodge and I was so happy to see it work EXACTLY as they had planned for months. Nothing formal, completely relaxed, BBQ on the terrace (yes! It was sunny and warm!) – they got the lot!
Here’s a little sneak preview of the most perfect day…
A very calm and relaxed morning in the bridal sitting room at the lodge!
Quite relaxing for Graham and the boys too!
Nicky’s Dad, Tom, is the King of Cravats!

Beautiful!
We had a little wander around the grounds…

Nothing like a bit of ridiculous dancing to really get the night do going!

Congratulations again Nicky & Graham – it was amazing to be a part of your special day.
