Your Yorkshire Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 62)

Carlton Towers is a special venue for us both, as we often spend Valentine’s Day there. We picked the first Saturday in February as our wedding date, giving guests the chance to get over the Christmas hype – plus it also fell on the day before my birthday! Jonathan and his groomsmen wore matching Marc Darcy suits, light in colour with navy edging to complement the bridesmaids’ dresses. Both of my parents are no longer with us, so my gorgeous stepson, Thomas, gave me away. He’s only 21 and was so nervous, which helped ease my own worries about walking down the aisle. We went for gold twig wishing trees for centrepieces to tie-in with the gold gothic décor at Carlton Towers. It fitted in very well for our winter wedding. We decided on sweet cones for the favours in a white and gold theme, so each and everyone attending could enjoy them. A large ornate mirror was chosen for the seating plan to be scribed on. It matched perfectly with the table décor and was very grand in appearance. 40
