Your North East Wedding - January/February 2023 (Issue 54)

As Andrew works for the fire service, the Allendale fire crew made an appearance in their fire engine! It was timed to perfection just after the vows, and was a hit with all our guests. I’m originally from Kendal, so our wedding favours were miniature bottles of Kendal Mint Cake Liqueur. Covid meant we had to rearrange our big day four times! It was frustrating, as whenever we moved the wedding, I had to ensure all our suppliers could still make the date. Luckily, everyone was really accommodating, and everything turned out well. My flowers were a mix of pale pink astilbe, burgundy, black barra rose, spray rose nude, dark blue thistle and burgundy Astrantia; which went really well against my dress. My friend Carla made our wedding cake, which was designed with white icing on the top tier, followed by a middle blue marble effect, and navy on the bottom. Andrew wore a navy blue check suit with matching waistcoat, along with a gold tie and pocket square. 43 REAL WEDDINGS
