Your Yorkshire Wedding - Mar/Apr 2019 (Issue 35)

Inspired by our love of travel, each table was named after one of our favourite places in the world. The top table was New York, for obvious reasons, and the bridal party sat at Budapest. We treated our guests to homemade bramble whisky and sloe gin favours. We infused it for six months before decanting it in to small bottles with our names and wedding date on. The sloes made the alcohol turn pink – they matched the day brilliantly! My mum made a delicious three-tier cake with roses trailing down the side. Everything was hand-piped so it took her months to make. She placed a little topper on it for us to keep as a memento. Leafy Couture created our incredible floral displays. My brief was loose and unfussy with lots of greenery. What the company provided us with complemented our gold and pink theme perfectly. Louis’ mum and nanna handmade all the bouquets and buttonholes; they were stunning and everyone commented on how professional they looked. As soon as we drove up to the venue we fell in love with it. Tucked away in a tiny village, it’s surrounded by picturesque scenery with a herd of deer living in the grounds. There’s a picture-perfect lake and a terrace, which is ideal for a drinks reception. Inside it’s very traditional and exclusive as they only have one wedding a week there. 38
