enjoyed chocolate brownies with vanilla cream for dessert. For the evening reception, loved ones enjoyed the treats from the doughnut wall, which said, “Donut leave me hangin”. The semi-naked cake was a huge hit with loved ones! Red Robin Cakery worked with the nearlyweds to bring their vision to life while guiding them through the experience. Sabine comments, “The owner Sophie was amazing! As we planned the wedding in lockdown, she sent us a little box with cake samples to try – each flavour was delicious! We decided on lemon, Victoria sponge and cherry Bakewell flavouring.” The couple’s cake topper had a little sausage dog silhouette for their dog Barry who attended the day. Guests gathered around the firepits to roast marshmallows towards the end of the night, which the kids loved. LOOKING THE PART Every bride-to-be wants to look and feel absolutely stunning on their wedding day, and Sabine achieved just that! She went for something completely different to what she had imagined when dress shopping and opted for an Allure Bridals gown from Charlotte Elizabeth Bridal in Matlock. Sabine says, “The consultant held up this dress, and I fell in love with the stunning train, elegant style, low back and amazing details – it took my breath away! When I first looked in the mirror, I cried as much as possible without smudging my make-up. Sidonie Makeup Artist and Perfect Silhouette Hairdressing were amazing and nailed my look.” The bride accessorised with a beautiful boutique headpiece and some stunning jewellery from Etsy. Craig had a gorgeous suit from Moss Bros to match his groomsmen, but his jacket had the pair’s names and wedding date stitched on the inside pocket. He stood out from the others with a blush buttonhole and a pocket watch from the bride. The bridesmaids wore a mix of burgundy and blush dresses – the mixture of colours looked great in photos. The bridal and bridesmaid bouquets were gorgeous, carrying on the colour scheme. TIME TO CELEBRATE The pair hired a guitarist, Jamie Mitchell, a fantastic performer to entertain guests. He played before the wedding breakfast and after the ceremony while the couple were having their photos taken. The pair also had a fantastic magician, Jester Styles, who entertained adults and kids alike! The bride says, “Every guest said the magician was a brilliant touch and how it was such a good idea to have him perform during the drinks reception before the food.” There were also garden games to keep the little ones entertained, which included croquet, a hoopla game and a tin can alley. A DJ and a saxophonist started the party in the evening and performed while the couple had their first dance to Wicked Game by Chris Isaak. The performers were great and played garage hour music for an hour. MEMORABLE MOMENTS Sabine and Craig have many fond memories of their special day, starting with the ceremony. After arriving at the venue with her best friend and dad in a beautiful white Mustang, it was finally time to become husband and wife. “I was absolutely terrified walking down the aisle, and I was shaking all over once I got to Craig,” says the bride. She continues, “Craig looked terrified, too 40
