Featuring James, Emily & a Sugar Floral Cake with Their Dog Rio!
If you’re dreaming of a romantic countryside wedding in Lancashire, let me introduce you to one of the Ribble Valley’s finest venues, Gibbon Bridge Hotel. Tucked away near Chipping and close to The Inn at Whitewell In Lancashire.
With breathtaking views over the Forest of Bowland, award-winning gardens, and a team of expert wedding organisers, it’s no wonder so many couples choose Gibbon Bridge for their big day. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting for many years, enjoying both overnight stays and delicious meals, and believe me the homemade biscuits are worth the trip alone! 🤍
James & Emily’s Wedding Cake – A Sweet Personal Touch
Creating James & Emily’s wedding cake was super. They wanted something classic and romantic with a personal twist. We discussed all finer elements within my showroom and then produced a sketch. Emily and James decided to secure their wedding date and the fun began!
The final design featured a cascade of handmade sugar blue hydrangeas, soft silk detailing, and their beloved dog Rio crafted in sugar to be eating some cake..just as his cheeky character would if he hit the chance!
It was a showstopper that perfectly matched the floral decor of the reception room, and reflected their style beautifully. From runners to candles it was an absolute dream set up.

Let’s take a look
At what Emily & James had to say..


Why Gibbon Bridge is a Dream Wedding Venue
I’ve been lucky to work with the Gibbon Bridge team for many years now, and every wedding is consistently warm, elegant, and expertly run. The gardens in full bloom make the perfect photo backdrop, and the attention to detail from their staff is second to none.
Whether you’re planning a Preston wedding, a Ribble Valley elopement, or something a little more rustic and romantic near The Inn at Whitewell, Gibbon Bridge offers the perfect balance of timeless charm and country elegance.
They also do great packages and beautiful afternoon teas so you can get a real feel for what the service is all about. You won’t be disappointed.
