yourJOURNEY BEGINS...
Whether or not you live in Lancashire getting
married is a very special occasion and choosing
your venue is very important. From historic
buildings, stone-built villages, coastal contrasts,
rural retreats to beautiful scenery and riverside
settings, Lancashire has everything to create the
perfect setting for your wedding.
In Lancashire we have more than one
hundred premier venues that have been
approved for ceremonies. We also have
eight registration ceremony rooms spread
across the county.
Welcome to Lancashire’s ‘Your Perfect Day’ brochure and
congratulations on your forthcoming marriage. I hope this
brochure will provide you with all the information you need
over the next few months.
5
Whatever your arrangements, whatever your
choice, we will do our very best to ensure that
your day is everything you dream of. If you need
any further advice please do not hesitate to contact
any of our ceremonies officers.
With all my good wishes for ‘Your Perfect Day’.

The words
we had chosen
were delivered with
real sincerity, which
made our ceremony
really special.

eligious MARRIAGES...
Church of England or
Church in Wales
If you wish to be married in the Church of England
or Church in Wales you should first speak to the
Vicar of the church in which you wish to marry.
You can usually qualify to marry in a Church
of England church if you can show that one of
the persons intending to marry:
• was baptised or prepared for confirmation in
that parish
• had his or her usual place of residence in that
parish for a period of not less than six months
• regularly attended public worship in that parish
for a period of not less than six months
• a parent during the lifetime of the person
wishing to marry has had his or her usual place
of residence in that parish for a period of not
less than six months.
• a parent or grandparent has been married in
that parish
The vicar will arrange for the banns to be called
and the common licence to be issued, unless the
vicar specifically ask you to contact the registration
service we would not expect to be involved in
these wedding arrangements.
7
Other
Denominations
If you wish to be married in a church or religious
building of any other religious denomination
please speak to the person responsible for
marriage at that building. Normally, you or your
partner must live within their district although
some exceptions may apply. The person
responsible will not be able to arrange the
legalities for you and therefore you will need to
arrange to give notice of marriage in the
registration district in which you live.
Some religious buildings and churches require
the attendance of a registrar at the wedding
ceremony, please ask the person responsible.
If this is the case, please contact our ceremonies
officers on 0845 053 0021 or 01772 221621
as soon as possible, but no sooner than
12 months before the day of your ceremony.
Just wanted
to say a big thank
you for making
our wedding
day so special!

our registrars will be on hand to help
you every step of the way. They will
guide you through everything you need
to do or say, so there is no need to
worry about forgetting your lines or
doing things in the wrong order!
The registrar will see both partners privately to check
that the details to be entered into the marriage register
are correct.
This is also an opportunity for you to ask any last minute
questions. Once these checks have been made we can
proceed with the wedding ceremony.
The bride and groom will be asked in turn to repeat
a number of vows and promises you will have chosen
in advance from our ceremony booklet. The Celebrant
will speak quite slowly and reassure you both throughout
the ceremony. After you have made your marriage vows
you and your witnesses will sign the marriage register.
The registrar will then arrange for you to have
photographs with the register, before presenting you with
your marriage certificate.

I am being married at Georgian House, my groom is
Italian. He cannot speak English, he understands a little,
would it be possible for me to interpret the ceremony
to him in Italian?

Unfortunately you would not be able to act as an
interpreter for the groom. You must provide an
independent interpreter who could be a family member
or friend. The groom will need to repeat the words in
English as well as in Italian.

A COUNTY IN BLOOM
“When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread
with one, and a flower with the other. The bread will give you life, and
the flower, a reason for living” Chinese Proverb
This is probably a philosophy many florists share, so who better to ask to help bring together a look for your perfect day.
As with all aspects of organising a wedding there are so many options; styles, colours, varieties and sometimes it can feel
rather mind blowing, especially if you don’t know your peonies from your petunias. A skilled wedding florist will guide
you through your choices to make sure you get the very best effect within your budget.
FROM
linda
"Flowers have always played a huge part in my
life, from picking the stems from the garden on
the farm where I was brought up, to now designing
floral arrangements for some of the most prestigious events
and venues here in the North West.”
Being surrounded by family and friends who have
always been interested in floral art and horticulture,
provided me with a wealth of knowledge and
support which gave me a kick start for my career.
My first class in floral art was at the age of sixteen,
when I was studying for my City and Guilds, I was
lucky enough to study with Margaret Whittaker,
whose talent and vision is legendary in the field of
floral art. I then undertook my demonstrating
exams, which would enable me to speak at flower
clubs across the ocean, but it was in 1995 when
my career began, where my partner and myself
decided to rent a very small shop in Clitheroe,
called ‘The Flower Shop’. Over the past sixteen
years our business has grown immensely,
however we have maintained the same value
of quality and style. Here in Clitheroe, we
have a wonderful team of floral designers
who are always on hand to advise, in the
many aspects of floral design that we have to
offer. We use our expertise to provide our
customers with unique, bespoke designs, whilst
embracing new industry trends and ideas along the
way. We stock a vast range of fresh flowers, plants
and gifts, so there is always something new and
exciting to look at. We offer a very professional
service and it is most definitely service with a smile.

“Flowers are
love’s truest
language”
Park Benjamin

Lancashire’s fabulous florists can certainly help you create the perfect day
to remember. So, who do you need to consider when it comes to your
wedding flowers….
The Bride
A stunning bouquet to compliment her dress, from traditional
to contemporary, compact and petite, large and flowing, glitz
and chic, soft and subtle... the options are endless and
something perfect for every bride.
The Bridesmaids
A bouquet to complement the bride's flowers, a wrist corsage
or even flowers to place in the hair.
Corsages for the Mothers
Maybe one for the outfit, the wrist, or even to attach onto
their handbag. We can add wiring detail to compliment the
outfit or some pearls or diamantes to give it that extra bit of
sparkle on their son and daughters special day.
Buttonholes for the Groom, Best Man,
Fathers and Ushers
Often these buttonholes are made using the same flowers
from the bride's bouquet
Ceremony Venue
It can be very helpful to choose a florist who knows the venue
well, as they will know what will work and can put your style
and stamp on the design.
Reception Venue
The reception flowers can really enhance the space, turning a
blank canvas into something beautiful and full of life.
Of all of the comments we receive
back about weddings, my favourite
is ‘The Flowers Made It’.

IN LANCASHIRE
'From a simple posy to an exotic designer trend Lancashire
is the perfect place to showcase your choice of flowers'
Next to your reception flowers are the most expensive item in your budget. Many brides have no
idea what flowers they have to choose from and what flowers grow local to Lancashire. Knowing
what flowers are in season at the time of your wedding can drastically reduce the overall cost.
What Kind Of Flowers Are Found In Lancashire?
Lancashire in the heart of Northwest England hosts a wide variety of flowers like roses, lilies, tulips, daisies, forget me
nots, pansies and hare bell. Lancashire's spring weather is suitable for these flowers to grow in abundance.
Seasonal Flower Chart
Before you make your final
decision on your floral
arrangements and bouquets try
to seek ways to combine beauty

easier and usually less expensive
to buy flowers, plants and

What does your
bridal bouquet signify?
Did you know flowers have meanings associated with them?
Flowers form an important part of that special occasion in our
lives. Everyone knows that a red rose stands for romantic love;
however meanings are associated not only with roses but also
with other flowers.
Many people assign their own personal meanings – a flower or colour that might remind them of a
special event or moment in their lives. Did you know that each of the 17 different flower designs on
William & Kate's official Royal Wedding cake had its own individual meaning?
Read on to know more about flower meanings and see if we have included your favourite flower:
Aster symbolises patience. It is also indicative of
a love of variety. It also symbolises elegance
and daintiness.
Calla Lily symbolises magnificence and beauty.
White Calla lilies combine these two attributes with
purity and innocence associated with the colour
white to make it the perfect choice of flower in a
wedding bouquet.
Carnation symbolises pride and beauty.
A red carnation symbolises love, pride and
admiration; a white carnation symbolises innocence

loyal love and “I will never tell”. Gerbera Daisy
specifically conveys cheerfulness.
Freesia symbolises innocence and
thoughtfulness.
Gardenia symbolises purity and sweetness.
They indicate secret love. They convey joy.
They tell the receiver you are lovely.
Gerbera belongs to the daisy family and therefore
assumes the symbolism associated with the daisy
flower. Gerbera specifically conveys cheerfulness.
19
Heather Lavender symbolises admiration,
solitude and beauty while white heather symbolises
protection and indicates that wishes will come true.
Hydrangea symbolises heartfelt emotions. It can
be used to express gratitude for being understood.
Iris symbolises eloquence. Purple iris is symbolic of
wisdom and compliments. Blue iris symbolises faith
and hope. Yellow iris symbolises passion while

AND MEANINGS
Weddings are occasions full of tradition and symbolism, but do you know
where some of the popular traditions actually come from?
“
Something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue
and a silver sixpence in her shoe.
Something Old: This represents the link with the
bride's family and the past – a common solution is
for a bride to wear a piece of family jewellery or
the garter of a married woman in the family.
Something New: Represents good fortune and
success in the bride's new life. This is usually the
wedding dress.
Something Borrowed: To remind the bride that
friends and family will be there for her when help is
needed. This might be something like a lace
handkerchief or an item of jewellery.
Something Blue: Symbolises faithfulness and loyalty
and is thought to date back to biblical times when
blue represented purity. Frequently the bride has a
blue garter or a small blue ribbon sewn into the
inside of her dress.
A silver sixpence in her shoe:
This is to wish the bride both financial wealth
and happiness.
Thank you so much for the
wonderful ceremony, the words were
lovely – not a dry eye in the house,
we had a wonderful day.
Richard & Wendy

Rings
In ancient times, engagement rings served as a
partial payment for the right to court a bride.
The significance of the third finger of the left
hand stems from the ancient Egyptian belief
that the ring finger follows the 'vena amoris',
the vein that leads directly to the heart.
If the ring is dropped at the ceremony this is
believed to shake out the evil spirits.
Where to stand
The bride stands on the left of the groom during the marriage ceremony to
allow his sword arm to be free ready to fight off any other man who may want
her for his bride. It is believed the father walks in with the bride on his right arm
as nothing should stand between true love.
Dress
The tradition of wearing a white wedding dress gained popularity in the
Victorian Age when Queen Victoria wore a beautiful white dress
to marry Albert, which started a world wide trend.
In some countries it is considered lucky if a bride
finds a spider in her wedding dress!
Wedding veil
The veil is worn in order to ward off evil spirits.
The time to get married
The couple should exchange vows as the minute hand of the clock is
upwards and 'ascending towards heaven'.
Seeing the bride
It is considered good luck for the groom not to see the dress before
the day, and luckier still if he does not glance at the dress as the bride
walks down the aisle.
Confetti
Rose petals or paper have replaced rice or grain in modern times,
the rice was thrown to encourage fertility.
Carrying the bride over the threshold
This protects her from any evil spirits that may be lurking in
the new home. It is also believed to bring good fortune
and stops the bride from stepping into the
new home left foot first which is considered
to be unlucky.
Throwing the bouquet
The bride should throw her bouquet over
her shoulder into a crowd of all unmarried
ladies. Whoever catches it is said to be the
next one to be married. Similarly the groom
should remove the bride's garter and do the
same for the single men!
