The venue for our Christmas wedding, planned for December 22nd, 2007.
Beaumanor Hall, the view from the rear gardens. I love the idea of this as the backdrop for the wedding photos.
The Staircase. The bride and groom come in from either side of the balcony and walk down together. NB: The tables on the right won't be there on the day!
View of the staircase and stained glass window, showing the top balcony.
The stained glass window with the sun shining through.
The hallway - the receiving line will be around where the woman on the computer is. No, she won't be there on the day either, but we should have Net access!!
Left-hand balcony and a beautiful ceiling.
A very elaborately carved ceiling in the room where we'll take our vows.
The dining room, showing the side lawn view.
Dining room again, with the view over the path and lawns.
This dining room will be filled with the tables and chairs shown in the next couple of photos.
Very elaborate tables! They look quite comfy though.
Spot the action-shot of the chef in the background?
One view of the grounds - although it was a murky day when we took these, the sun was shining and the grounds looked fantastic.
Looking down the path towards the Italian garden.
This path curves off to the greenhouses hidden behind the hedge there.
Another view of the grounds.
More gardens. Look at that sky!

Closer up, but getting a bit windswept.
The side view of the house, glowing in the early evening sunshine.
