Your North East Wedding - November/December 2023 (Issue 59)

The Palm’s quirky interior was right up my street, and the staff were so welcoming and accommodating. I bought a few dresses from ASOS Bridal to try. The dress I chose had the illusion of being a two-piece, with an embellished bodice and a plain tulle skirt. For our place names, I hand-stamped tags and tied them with twine around napkins and sprigs of rosemary from our garden. Our daughters, Nina and Edie, were our bridesmaids and they looked unbelievably beautiful. My mother-in-law made our dog, Holly, a sage tulle skirt and she even wore a floral necklace! The main bouquets were put together using achillea, spirea, rice flower, and a variety of roses, carnations and ranunculus. Don’t be afraid to make the wedding your own. We chose not to have a threecourse meal or speeches to make the day feel more comfortable and relaxed. 24
