St Mary's Minster Stow

 Lauren's wedding service was at the gorgeous St Mary's at Stow. Dating back to at least 975 it is believed to have originated as the Mother church of Lincoln Cathedral. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
As a Minster it is rather larger than your average local church but fortunately the main wedding service and guests are in one area.
We decided that two pedestals at the ceremony steps would be ideal and would break up the distance to the altar.
 The pedestals were mainly the same flowers as the bridal bouquets with purple eustoma and September flower with Ivory roses, germini, astilbe, wax flower with cream chrysants.
 The pew ends were a mix of flowers and bows with the flowers being three ivory germini, wax flower and tree fern.
 Each pew end is slightly different as they are so old
 and some have had to be replaced.
