About Their Wedding Day
An Introduction To Statham Lodge Weddings
Summer weddings in the Cheshire countryside are always something special, but Daisy and Daniel’s day at Statham Lodge was truly unforgettable. With golden sunshine, heartfelt vows, and the most beautiful backdrop, it was a wedding full of love, laughter and those perfect little moments that make the day uniquely yours.
Statham Lodge, located in the charming village of Lymm, is one of the region’s most popular wedding venues for good reason. Surrounded by acres of landscaped gardens and featuring elegant Georgian architecture, it offers a timeless and romantic setting for couples looking for something truly memorable. Statham Lodge weddings are always a joy to photograph, and Daisy and Daniel’s summer celebration was no exception.
A Relaxed Morning in the Main House
Daisy began her morning in the comfort of the bridal dressing room within the main house at Statham Lodge. This private space is elegant and beautifully furnished, providing a peaceful start to the day with her bridesmaids. As they sipped prosecco and enjoyed the excitement of the morning, the atmosphere was relaxed and full of anticipation.
The bridal dressing room is one of those thoughtful touches that makes Statham Lodge weddings so special. With plenty of space and natural light, it is the ideal setting for bridal preparations, ensuring everything feels calm and unhurried as the day begins.
Daniel, meanwhile, got ready at home before making the drive over with his best man and groomsmen. Arriving at the venue, suited and smiling, the group shared a few quiet moments together before the ceremony, clearly just as excited as Daisy was to get the day started.
An Emotional Outdoor Ceremony on the Patio
The wedding ceremony took place outdoors, under the elegant black gazebo on the patio. The weather was perfect — warm, sunny and with just the lightest breeze. With guests seated in the open air and the gardens in full bloom, it made for an incredibly romantic setting.
Daisy and Daniel exchanged vows in an emotional ceremony that had more than a few teary eyes in the crowd. The natural surroundings, soft floral arrangements and gentle rustle of trees all added to the peaceful and intimate feel of the moment. Outdoor ceremonies are a particular highlight of Statham Lodge weddings, offering couples the chance to say ‘I do’ in a space that feels personal and connected to nature.
Confetti, Cocktails and Summer Sunshine
Following the ceremony, Daisy and Daniel were showered in confetti by their guests in a joyful and lively exit. The smiles were wide, the cheers were loud, and the scene couldn’t have been more perfect in the golden summer light.
Guests were then invited to enjoy drinks on the lawn, where they mingled in the sunshine with glasses of fizz and canapés. The gardens at Statham Lodge are extensive and beautifully maintained, providing plenty of space for guests to relax, explore and enjoy the surroundings.
This part of the day is always a lovely opportunity to capture candid moments between guests, as well as a few informal group shots. The relaxed atmosphere and natural light made everything feel warm and effortless.
Exploring the Grounds for Portraits
After the drinks reception, I took Daisy and Daniel for a walk through the stunning grounds of the lodge. Statham Lodge weddings offer some of the most versatile and photogenic locations for couple portraits, and we made full use of them.
We wandered along peaceful pathways, past colourful summer florals and tall trees, stopping occasionally to capture some natural and intimate shots. Daisy and Daniel were so easy-going and full of joy, making the portraits feel more like a stroll with old friends than a formal shoot.
One of the standout features of the gardens is the romantic love swing nestled among the trees, where the couple took a quiet moment together. It’s such a lovely spot, both for a photograph and for a little breather away from the buzz of the day.
A Beautiful Wedding Breakfast in The Gainsborough Suite
The Gainsborough Suite was the perfect choice for Daisy and Daniel’s wedding breakfast. Flooded with natural light and dressed in soft, neutral tones, it provided a sophisticated setting for the next part of their celebration.
The room was styled with colourful seasonal flowers, bringing a joyful summer feel indoors. Each table featured rustic wooden place names and beautifully thoughtful personalised wedding favours that reflected the couple’s style and story. It’s the little details like these that make Statham Lodge weddings feel so personal.
Guests were treated to a delicious three-course meal, with attentive service and beautifully presented dishes. The team at Statham Lodge have a reputation for excellence when it comes to hospitality, and they did not disappoint.
Laughter and Tears in the Speeches
Once the plates were cleared, the speeches began — a mix of heart-warming, hilarious and downright brilliant. The best man gave a standout performance, including a photo slideshow that had the room in stitches. It was a lovely balance of heartfelt words and humour, and the perfect way to celebrate Daisy and Daniel’s journey together.
The spacious layout and elegant styling of the Gainsborough Suite made it ideal for this part of the day. There’s enough room for guests to feel comfortable, while still maintaining a sense of closeness and shared emotion.
Evening Guests and the First Dance
As the evening approached, Daisy and Daniel greeted their newly arriving guests with hugs and smiles, clearly still full of energy and excitement from the day so far. The reception room was transformed for the evening celebration, ready for cake cutting and dancing.
Their wedding cake was a show-stopper, and cutting it together was met with a cheer from the room. Soon after, the couple took to the floor for their first dance — a romantic moment made all the more special by the way their guests surrounded them, clapping and singing along.
Once the dance floor opened up, it was full in no time. From grandparents to toddlers, everyone joined in, dancing well into the night. Statham Lodge weddings always deliver when it comes to a great party, and this one was no exception.
