Mears Ghyll Milestone at The Midland Hotel

On Friday 12^th November, Mears Ghyll Bridal Rooms of Brookhouse held their 5^th year anniversary party, which was proudly hosted by the Midland Hotel, Morecambe.

The invitation-only event was attended by past brides and bridesmaids of Mears Ghyll, who were asked to wear their gowns on the evening.  Also in attendance were new clients of both Mears Ghyll Bridal Rooms and The Midland, to get a feel of what it would be like to marry in an iconic hotel in a beautiful designer wedding dress.  The evening included champagne and canapés on arrival, with entertainment from Boogie Bill and his Billionaires, and Sam Fitton, magician extraordinaire!  There was an exclusive raffle in aid of St John’s Hospice, with many local suppliers kindly donating prizes, with the top prize being £1000 off a Mears Ghyll wedding dress, a dream come true for any bride to be and won by Rachel Chapman who is to have her wedding reception at The Midland in May 2012.

‘We have had such a wonderful 5 years what better way to celebrate it than with all our fantastic brides!  We wanted to put on a real evening of entertainment and thought – when do brides ever get the opportunity to wear their dresses after the big day?  It was a fantastic sight, with all those brides in one place!  We also wanted to support a local charity and feel St John’s Hospice is an incredibly worthy cause.’   

Guests had the chance to see bridal gowns from designers such as Alan Hannah along with many other beautiful dresses by British designers in a bridal gown preview on the night.  There were a few hand-picked suppliers available on the evening for brides to mingle with, such as The Midland in house florist Catherine of Wedding Flowers by Catherine, photographer Andrea Pickering and wedding cake designers at Blackberry Cottage Bakery Ltd.
