Five years after their first date on a night out after work, Alan asked Stephanie to meet him in Liverpool. He booked the same hotel where they had first met. Even then, Stephanie had no idea that he would produce a ring that night. Two years earlier they had attended a wedding at West Tower. They fell in love with the venue and quietly decided this was where they would get married, even though they were not yet engaged.
“West Tower is such a magical place, the second you arrive you get a lovely feeling. It is the most special place in the world and gave us the most precious memories for our big day.” – Stephanie
Style of the day
To start planning, Stephanie downloaded Pinterest, already knowing the theme she wanted for her dream day. She decided on blush pink and silver as her main colour scheme. The beautifully neutral décor of West Tower was the perfect match. Using candles, petals and jam jars along with lots of peonies, she created a magical setting for their West Tower blush pink wedding. Alan chose the cake and took full advantage. He opted for four tiers of chocolate, butterscotch, fruit and red velvet with salted caramel.
Stephanie also knew the style of dress she wanted from day one. After revealing her second gown on the viewing stage she said yes to the dress and refused to try any others. Her nan, aunt and best friend all agreed that she had found her dream dress. Alan’s gift of Valentino heels, along with a tiara and her mother in law’s diamanté necklace, completed her look.
After a last minute hitch just weeks before the wedding, Stephanie found the most perfect dresses for her bridesmaids. She added Swarovski beading to the waist of the blush pink Ted Baker dresses. The four girls looked a million dollars. Alan and his groomsmen wore navy blue tails with a blush cravat and matching patent shoes.
The wedding
Whilst guests took their seats for the ceremony at West Tower, a harpist played gently in the background. Stephanie and her dad walked down the aisle to Elton John’s Can You Feel The Love Tonight. A little later, she walked back as Mrs Riddoch with Alan to one of their favourite songs, The Greatest Day by Take That.
After the ceremony, drinks and canapés were served in the sunshine. A saxophonist played while the magician baffled everyone with his tricks. Later, Dom Perignon and Bottega Rose Gold accompanied the speeches. These followed a sumptuous meal prepared by the West Tower team.
For the evening, they chose their DJ from the suppliers recommended by West Tower. He was fantastic and really took his time to get to know them. That care helped them plan their night. Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding was the first dance for Stephanie and Alan, both of them giggling the whole way through. Afterwards, the BBQ served on the patio was cooked to perfection. Everyone made sure they went back for seconds.
“Both of us cannot thank the team enough. We had an amazing day and everyone remarked on the venue and how great all the team were with us.” – Stephanie
