Your Yorkshire Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 46)

REAL WEDDINGS 29 LOOKING THE PART The bride knew she was after a timeless, elegant big-day look. “I wore a long-sleeved, lace A-line gown,” she tells us. “I teamed it with crystal drop earrings and a bracelet from my mum, which matched Sam’s cufflinks. My shoes coordinated with the blush-coloured silk lining of my dress.” The men looked dashing in navy three-piece suits, with Sam standing out with a Burns-clan tartan waistcoat. They looked fabulous alongside the bridesmaids in their deep red maxi dresses, with low backs and side splits. IT’S A CELEBRATION! The pair chose live music for each part of the day. “We had a wonderful organist play during the ceremony,” Katherine says. “One of our friends, who is a classically trained singer, performed during the signing of the register. At Oulton Hall, a string quartet set the scene as our guests arrived before a live band got the party going in the evening! They were all a huge success as each set created the perfect ambience for each stage of the wedding.” ON REFLECTION… Couples often find their wedding day is a rollercoaster of emotions. This was no different for Katherine and Sam. “We went from nervous to excited to exhausted at the end of the night,” Katherine smiles. “The whole day was perfect and exactly what we envisioned – there were no hiccups.” They knew they couldn’t have done it all without their dream team of local suppliers. “Our photographer, Matt Nicholls Photography, was brilliant and took gorgeous photos of us,” Katherine says. “He was also excellent at managing the crowd and keeping everyone entertained. Jodie from the venue was also amazing, helping us to organise the reception while we were planning everything from our home in London.” 
