Lord Thompson Manor Wedding Occasions

When people see a Bride on her Big Day, they tend to notice two things right away: her brilliant smile and her elegant dress.  At the Lord Thompson Manor, we know that a Bride’s Wedding Day look doesn’t stop there.  We’re always happy to help our Brides decide exactly what to wear, and we’ve got a list of possible head-to-foot additions they may want to consider.

Many Brides continue the tradition of a Wedding Veil, but some opt for a few crowning sparkles.  Beautifully crafted hair accessories might include flowers or jewels, and nothing can make a Bride feel more like a princess than a head wrap or tiara.

It is important for a Bride to find balance between earrings and necklace, if she chooses to wear both.  Both of these accessories can be small, subtle decorations for the Bride’s ensemble; or, one can be a large, glamorous feature, accented by the other.

A Bride’s arms can be perfectly elegant bare, or with only the sleeves of her well-chosen gown.  However, she might also add warmth or a different look with a shawl or wrap that matches or complements her dress.  A Bride might also elect to wear gloves—the Lord Thompson Manor recommends fingerless or gauntlet-style, to make the wedding rings easier to manage—bracelets, or a beautiful antique watch.

Finally, a Bride’s shoes are a crucial part of her Wedding Ensemble.  A Bride can choose heels or flats; open or closed toes; white, patterned or metallic—her choices are virtually limitless.  Many Brides have recently been embracing the new trend of red shoes, and some even choose other bright, bold colors.  The Lord Thompson Manor is ready to accommodate all choices by setting our Brides up with our Keep It Simple Spa pedicures the day before the wedding, and keeping comfortable flip flops around if ever they want to give their feet a rest.

At the Lord Thompson Manor, we help our Brides plan and coordinate every aspect of their Weddings and Wedding Receptions.  We want every moment of a Bride’s Big Day to be perfect, and nothing can set the tone to an elegant Ceremony and a fun Reception like live music.

Live music is crucial to a perfectly timed Wedding.  Whether a Bride and Groom opt for classical music or contemporary, the Lord Thompson Manor can provide contacts to a number of different bands and assist the happy couple in deciding which is ideal for their Ceremony.  With live music, a human being is in charge of matching the tempo and specific cues to the pacing and timing of the Ceremony itself; that way, nothing moves too quickly or too slowly, and every moment occurs when planned.  This is especially important in the unfortunate case of a mishap—no one wants to trip when walking down the aisle, especially when they can throw off the timing of a Ceremony set to recorded music, but live music can help recover the moment and keep the Ceremony going as planned.

At the Lord Thompson Manor, we even like to carry the romantic, elegant tone of the Ceremony through the following cocktail hour by having the same band play until it is time for dinner.  During dinner, music takes a back seat to conversation as the next band quietly plays a CD.

Then, the Wedding Reception launches into full celebration.  A live band gives a personal, intimate feel for the Bride and Groom’s first dance as a married couple, and also enhances both the Bride’s dance with her Father and the Groom’s dance with his Mother.  Afterwards, nothing can match the personality and energy a live band brings to the dance floor, as they perform specifically for the Bride, Groom and guests.  With live music, every Wedding Reception is as unique as its Newlyweds.
