Brazil comes to Denton Hall

Last weekend was the wedding of Francine Prado Sanches and Harry Wood and it was THE best way to kick off the wedding season 2014 and an amazing way to celebrate Box Tree Events’ 100^th wedding at Denton Hall 

 

Francine’s side of the family travelled more than 5,500 miles to join Box Tree Events at Denton Hall to celebrate the coming together of Yorkshire and Brazil. The combination of Yorkshire and Brazil was displayed in the wedding favours where guests were treated to some Yorkshire Honey along with a slice of Brazilian cake. My personal favourite Yorkshire/Brazilian combination, however, was the speeches. Some of Francine’s family could not speak a lot of English, and therefore the speeches given in English were translated into Portuguese and vice versa. Harry (the Groom), delivered his speech perfectly in both English and Portuguese.

 

 

 

Some of our usual favourite suppliers were also there to help make this wedding spectacular. Leafy Couture’s  flowers filled the dining room with simple yet effective arrangements; the Daisy’s were a particularly nice touch. Richard Wynn-Davies captured the whole wedding perfectly, from the groom practicing his speech to the moment the couple said “I do”. Richard has created a video of a selection of the photographs he took that day http://vimeo.com/89928515. Dave Spink videography had plenty to film with over 100 guests filling Denton Hall. The cake by Patisserie Viennoise was beautiful and by the looks on all of the guests faces, it was delicious. Francine and Harry’s wedding was a family filled event with 19 children, including a new born. However the children were not expected to sit quietly and eat their dinner with everyone else, Perfectly Practical Parties were there to keep the children fully entertained, filling the Middleton room with toys, games, crafts and even a nap area.
 

 

The evening reception has got to be the highlight of the wedding, as the sounds of Rio de Janeiro, from the amazingly talented band Multibloco entered Denton Hall, the guests and even the staff could not help but dance. While guests enjoyed the sounds of Brazil, they were also treated to Romero de Mangueira the extremely talented Samba dancer from the Favela’s of Rio de Janeiro and Shyamala Gamal a beautiful Brazilian Samba dancer who wore two magnificent outfits, complete with feathers and lots of sparkle. I was even lucky enough to try one of Shyamala’s head pieces on.
 

 

Francine and Harry’s wedding was an amazing event and one that I wont be forgetting anytime soon, Box Tree Events could not have asked for a better wedding to celebrate its 100^th wedding at Denton Hall and cannot wait to see which bride and groom we will be celebrating our 200^th wedding with.
