We hired a red vintage bus from Weardale Travel as we had a lot of guests from Ireland and Kenya and we knew that many of them wouldn’t have transport. Our guests adored it and we loved getting our pictures taken with the bus at the end of the day. It was beautiful and amazing! We chose a three-tier wedding cake that was simply stunning. Beth Bakes Durham created exactly what we wanted and we couldn’t fault it. We opted for traditional jam and sponge, Oreo and cookie, and Biscoff; each tier was just beautiful. For our centrepieces, we wanted to keep things simple and rustic. We turned recycled jars and wine bottles into candle holders and placed them on blue table runners and log slices. Shane has always been obsessed with Haribo sweets, so for our favours, we gave each guest two rings, teddy bears or love hearts in little bags. We hired a white Brenchley from Elite Wedding Cars to transport Shane and I. 28 My dad had worked at Redworth Hall Hotel before he passed away in 1996, when I was nine months old. The hotel staff planted a tree outside the venue when he passed away and it was always my dream to get married there because of its sentimental value. As for the ceremony, we got married at the church where I had been baptised, confirmed and had my holy communion.
