Planning your wedding is no easy task. From choosing your venue, your dress, the suits, who will be bridesmaids, best man, the cake, will it be chicken or beef, all way right down to the little details of which font will go onto the place cards for the table plan!

I like to send out a few questions to my brides and grooms about a month before the big day to get to know them a little and to find out which lovely suppliers they’ve asked to help make their day so special.

Sam and Atsushi got married at the amazing Daffodil Hotel located on the banks of Grasmere. An absolutely stunning setting. This was a day filled with many happy moments, fun and lots and lots laughter. Here are the details of planning and suppliers that made their day so special.

In a bar on a hill in Fukuoka, Japan

We have lots of special dates on 21st. 1/21 started going out, 3/21 brides birthday, 7/21 submitted marriage documents in Japan, 8/21 engagement, 11/20 (too bad!!) grooms birthday. And 21/12 is easy to remember

A little about the Daffodil Hotel.

The hotel as it is now is relatively new, being built and opened in 2012. It was built by the late Tom Harwood who unfortunately didn’t see his project finished. His daughter Amanda, her husband Mark, and Tim Matthews, a family friend, pressed ahead with Tom’s plans and are proud to see that less than two years’ after his death, Tom’s vision had been realised.

Previously on the site a hotel was built in 1855 by Levi Hodgson, it was built when tourism was on the up in Cumbria partly due to William Wordsworth. The hotel was called Browns Lake Hotel after it’s owner Edward Brown. Not long after the the then Prince of Wales and soon to be Edward VII came to stay. As a result the hotel’s name was changed to ‘The Prince of Wales Hotel’. After 1984 the hotel became known by two other names, Thistle Grasmere followed by The Waterside.

The current hotel is most definitely modern inside but the exterior is built in traditional Cumbria slate stone and is sympathetic to it’s surroundings. Beautiful.
