For the ceramony  and to welcome all the family and friends into the banqueting suite  Anna choose a elegant tea length ivory dress adding  red in her headress, shoes  bouquet of roses and the much needed umbrella.

Just before the  luxurious banquet Anna changed into  a  beautiful chinese red wedding outfit with  the exquisite dragon and phoenix beading.

During the  banquet after course five, Anna and Chun visited all 30 tables for the traditional chinese  table  toasts, when the banquet was completed  the hour long Tea ceramony  began.   Chinese wedding are rich in customs

As are Chinese  is limited ( Michael knows 1,2,3,smile )

LYTHAM HALL

Looking forward to visiting  Lytham Hall  later this week and being part of  Paul and Sonia's wedding day celebrations.

Lytham Hall is a fine grade I listed 18th century manor house on the Lancashire coast. The Hall is situated in 80 acres of mature
parkland, and was built for Thomas Clifton by John Carr of York between 1752-1764 on the site of an earlier manor house and Priory settled by Benedictine monks from Durham.

We have visited Lytham Hall many times for open days, events and weddings and feel we do the house and grounds well.
