Bridal Prep

Juan and Elizabeth’s wedding was a beautiful blend of Spanish passion and Welsh hospitality. The two of them met whilst Elizabeth was working, and their love story was nothing short of a fairy tale. On a Summer’s day in North Wales, they exchanged vows at Gresford church and celebrated their love with family and friends at Tyn Dwr Hall.

The day began at Elizabeth’s family home in Gresford, where she was getting ready surrounded by her closest friends and family. Juan, meanwhile, was getting ready with his family, who had flown in from Spain especially for the wedding.

Gresford Church Wedding Ceremony

The wedding ceremony at Gresford church was a beautiful and emotional affair. Juan’s family had brought with them the Spanish traditions and customs, which added a unique and special touch to the ceremony. As Juan and Elizabeth said I do, the church was filled with huge applause and chants of “vivan los novios” which I believe translates to “Long live the Bride and Groom”.

After the ceremony, the guests made their way to Tyn Dwr Hall for the reception. The venue was beautifully decorated with many Spanish touches such as the table names and one of the Tyn Dwr Hall chefs carving a Serrano ham leg.

Speeches in the Garden Room at Tyn Dwr Hall

The speeches were all made in the Garden Room at Tyn Dwr Hall, and it was a lovely moment to see Elizabeth’s Dad had not only written his speech in English, but he had also had it translated to Spanish which he delivered perfectly on the day.

Party Time!

The party really started when Juan and Elizabeth took to the dance floor for their first dance. Elizabeth had a special surprise in store for Juan – a recording of her singing Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” in Spanish was played, much to the delight of Juan and their guests.

The rest of the night was filled with dancing and partying. The Spanish know how to party hard, and that was evident in the energy and excitement in the room.

Juan and Elizabeth’s wedding was a true celebration of love and culture, and their guests left Tyn Dwr Hall feeling inspired and uplifted. The happy couple started their new life together with a wonderful celebration, surrounded by family, friends, and the beautiful North Wales countryside.

Tyn Dwr Hall was the perfect setting for Juan and Elizabeth’s special day, and the memories they created will stay with them forever. This wedding was a true testament to the power of love and the importance of bringing together different cultures and traditions to create a truly unforgettable experience.

Kind Words from Elizabeth and Juan

“STOP YOUR SEARCH! Just book Richard Miller! Trust me, you will have zero regrets!

Within a minute of him arriving to my bridal prep, I knew we’d made the right choice! He was relaxed, genuine, funny and slotted in perfectly, making everyone feel at ease! He got on so well with all the bridal party!

During all the photos throughout the day, Rich made us feel relaxed and we had so much fun. We don’t usually particularly like having our photographs taken, so the fact he made us feel so at ease was brilliant! It is blindingly obvious that he is incredible at what he does, so this allows you to just enjoy the experience.

He mingled so well with all family and friends and got everyone involved in the photos!

We received our photos yesterday after a really professional process. We are absolutely over the moon with them and couldn’t have hoped for anything more! He captured our day perfectly. The day feels like such a blur afterwards and you worry that certain people weren’t photographed or certain moments may have been lost, but no, Rich captured it all!!

All I can say is that he is FULLY worth the money. A brilliant guy to work with and photos that are so amazingly done and such high quality. Thank you Rich! We hope to work with you again in the future!”

Looking for a Tyn Dwr Hall Wedding Photographer? I’d love to hear from you!

As I look back through Gavin and Alison’s wedding photographs from Tyn Dwr Hall, I am reminded of what an amazing day and such an incredible experience it was to be a part of. Now, all weddings are unique in their own way but Gavin and Alison’s Tyn Dwr Hall wedding had so many firsts for me. This was my first wedding I have photographed with Chinese traditions. I had no idea what to expect, but soon found myself amongst the fun!

Gavin & Alison have been kind enough to provide me with their story from when they first met, to when they became husband and wife. But before that, here are a few of my favourite photographs from Gavin and Alison’s Tyn Dwr Hall Wedding.

As always, Tyn Dwr Hall was looking incredible, and the wedding ceremony room was tastefully decorated with real flowers throughout.

Alison looked stunning in her wedding dress by Confetti Box Bridal Centre, whilst we took a quiet moment in the bridal prep room, before Dad came in to walk Alison down the aisle.

As group photos go, this has to be one of the largest I have photographed. So many happy faces here to celebrate with Gavin and Alison!

Alison wore her traditonal Chinese red dress for the morning of the wedding, before changing into her elegant white gown. But Gavin also had a change of outfit. He changed from his traditonal Scotish kilt after the wedding breakfast, into his Army uniform. 

The Garden Room at Tyn Dwr Hall looked incredible. The North Wales hills looking over, and Alison’s tasteful decor really made the perfect setting for their wedding breakfast. Uplit Event Hire supplied and created the amazing decor.

Flowers by Jemma Holmes, designed Alisons perfect floral arrangements.

Gavin and Alison’s amazing wedding cake was provided by Boutique Bakery.

Gavin and I first met when we were both still at university. We were introduced by a family friend and as much as Gavin says it was love at first sight, it took him nearly 3 years before he made the move! To be fair, Gavin’s in the military and was away in Afghanistan for a while. This did not stop us from keeping in touch until he came back home, to which we officially got together!
I’m a specialist nurse and so there are many who laugh and joke how clearly professionals in uniforms attract!
We were together for 4 years before Gavin popped the question in Palma, Spain. It was a trip to celebrate Gavin’s birthday! So who would have thought he was planning his way of ensuring the ring clears airport security, not to lose the ring and ensure I didn’t find the ring for the duration of the trip! Now I know I was actually carrying the ring for most of the trip and left it unoccupied for a quick swim in the sea! We were out having a meal for Gavin’s birthday, by the sea side when Gavin waited for the sunset before popping the question! Our special holiday ended up being a double celebration with a lot of emotions!
Choosing our venue took about 4.5months from the time we got engaged. Gavin’s from Glasgow and I’m from Aberystwyth, Wales but we both live in Manchester so as expected, choosing a location was not easy! We have family all over the UK and abroad! In keeping with Chinese traditions, our families had wanted us to have a Chinese banquet in addition to a traditional wedding. It was our dream to have a countryside wedding and having it in Wales nearer to home was perfect! Being so specific, we did our research online before taking a few weekend trips to North Wales to view a few wedding venues. We had viewed 5 venues but when we saw Tyn Dwr Hall we absolutely fell head over heels for it and knew we didn’t need to look any further! We loved every bit of the venue from the unique yurts to the cottage and how personal our wedding planner Shannon and the staff were.

It’s safe to say our wedding was not like any other! We both have big families and knew some were unable to attend the traditional Chinese banquet in Glasgow so we made a decision to incorporate some Chinese traditions on our wedding day. This was not easy to arrange and initially hard to picture; a Chinese Scotsman, with his groomsmen facing a variety of challenges to win his bride!

These challenges we set out by the bridesmaids as they haggle with the groom and the groomsmen on arrival and give a lucky red packets money (lai sei) for the bridesmaids to then surrender the bride! The groom then finds the brides red shoe inside the house and then presents this to the bride, the concept being the bride is not complete until the husband recovers her shoe.

As a bride, it is also tradition to wear a red Chinese dress known as ‘qipo’ which represents fortune and happiness.

The red dress is also worn for the tea ceremony, which is another major Chinese tradition. The ceremony is predominantly for the bride and grooms’ parents and other family members from the same generation. This takes place following the main wedding ceremony so Gavin and I as newlyweds paid respect to our elders. The family are served in order, starting with the groom’s parents before progressing from oldest to youngest. It was important we kneeled on red cushions whilst serving the tea from a red tea set for luck. After each family member takes a sip of their tea, they offer the couple a red packet with lucky money or jewellery inside. On the wedding day some even offered us some wise marriage advice! This luckily went smoothly on the day but actually took a lot of pre-planning to ensure we had a quick process with switching tea cups and finding family members!!! The bridesmaids and groomsmen played such a vital role and the final Chinese tradition is us as newlyweds giving them a red Lai sei packet with lucky money inside as a thank you.
