Clear glass vases are, of course, the most popular way to display a Wedding Flower Arrangement.  Naturally, Flower Arrangements often come in large, somewhat conical vases with numerous stems and blooms.  Sometimes at the Lord Thompson Manor, our centerpieces consist of three small arrangements in rectangular glass vases, accented by pure white votive candles.  Another elegant possibility is to have numerous glass containers of various shapes and sizes with just a few flowers in each, so that every arrangement consists of one tall, thin vase and others in consecutively smaller sizes, down to a single bloom in a votive holder; in this way, every arrangement can be both unified and unique.

However, flower containers don’t need to be clear, or even glass.  Sometimes, the Lord Thompson Manor uses colorful and decorative stemware for floral arrangements.  For example, we might place white or purple flowers in a gilded purple brandy snifter.  Ceramic vases can also be a versatile choice, whether they are in a gleaming solid color or decorated with a geometric pattern.  Sometimes, it can even be a good idea to go metallic.  The Lord Thompson Manor has some brass-colored vases that match our candelabras, making a perfect centerpiece.

Lord Thompson Manor Wedding Ceremony Preparations By Dr. Mark Clayson

Done with the wedding ceremony preparations? Do not let the wedding reception be left unprepared!

Almost everybody knows what weddings are all about. It is no wonder since almost everybody will get married someday. Marriage has made love stronger between husband and wife and made it possible for life and families grow. It is a commitment to be taken seriously, and now, your time has come to be a part of the married society, and a celebration is only fit for such an event.

Preparing Your Wedding Reception

Before preparing your wedding reception, you should already have the number of guests who will be attending available so that you can properly choose the right venue that can accommodate all your guests. The couple may opt to have a formal, informal or themed wedding reception. They may have their reception adjacent to the wedding ceremony venue, back at their home or somewhere fancy and remarkable.

Once you have the list and venue taken care of, chose the cake and food caterer who will be preparing the meals and the cake. The decoration of the reception area should also be taken into consideration, so choose your florist wisely. It is better to choose a florist who understands your wishes and visions as to how the reception should look like. Before the reception takes place, have someone look over the area if these three things are already prepared.

Of course, no newlyweds would want a disastrous first dance. The perfect solution for this is a well-prepared wedding dance. They can take lessons from professional dancers who can teach them the basic steps in the wedding dance.

Since in every wedding celebration there are speeches and toasts told, it is a good idea if the bride and groom also come prepared with their own welcome and thank you speeches for the guests who have attended.

The most discussed element of a wedding reception’s atmosphere is the music. Whether a bride and groom decide to hire live musicians or make use of the Lord Thompson Manor sound system, music plays a crucial role in the evening’s celebrations. The perfect balance of romance, accessibility, fun and class can keep a reception dancing for several happy hours. The Lord Thompson Manor utilizes volume and acoustics to accentuate every musical moment, from the bride and groom’s tender first dance as a married couple to the evening’s highest-energy crowd enjoying itself on the floor.
