Your Yorkshire Wedding - November/December 2020 (Issue 45)

MOVING FORWARD We’ve been catching up with wonderful Yorkshire wedding companies to find out about how they’ve coped during the pandemic. The quirky Huddersfield venue Standedge Tunnel & Visitor Centre has managed to postpone all its weddings to a suitable date, while supporting couples during these changes. Its now looking ahead to next season. “We can’t wait to open our big red doors to our amazing couples again,” Bev Earnshaw says. “We’ve recently held a styled shoot to help couples envision the setting for their big day, and we’re preparing to host small COVID-safe wedding fayres with pre-booked viewings for couples who are considering tying the knot with us.” The wonderful canal-side warehouse offers a memorable big- day backdrop surrounded by the wow factor of the Pennine Hills. We particularly love that couples can arrive by boat! Inside, a warm welcome from the team awaits and couples will love the beautiful beams, wooden floors and exposed stone walls.

Established in 2002, Kate Fearnley is a multi-award-winning designer with everything designed and handmade in her studio. Inspired by fairytales and florals, the Wonderland collection is full of dreamy styles with a focus on exquisite soft fabrics in muted tones. Kate’s signature style is enhanced with delicate floral beadwork, hand-finished embroidery and three-dimensional embellishment, which is all handmade by the team on the premises with exceptional craftsmanship. Brides will love the range of embroidered veils and bespoke shoes also in the collection. Visit https://katefearnley.com GET GIFTING With Christmas just around the corner, Yorkshire’s Cartwright & Butler has launched a mouth-watering range of hampers for the foodies in your life. Not only are these great for Christmas presents, but we’re also loving the idea of the luxurious Afternoon Tea Hamper for intimate micro- weddings. It comes in a grey wicker basket with leather belt straps, which would make a lovely keepsake of the celebration. Each generous selection is packed with sweet and savoury delights and even a tipple or two to accompany it – all presented in a showstopping box or basket. When ordering online, you can include a personalised message in a complimentary gift card for a special touch. Head to www.cartwrightandbutler.co.uk Images courtesy of www.nataliepluck.com 10
