A COUNTRY HAVEN The team at The New Hobbit Hotel wedding venue decided to make a positive out of the most recent lockdown by giving the venue a gorgeous new look. “We have undergone appearance changes in the bar, restaurant and snug area,” says Max. “It’s now brighter and more contemporary. We’ve created a better flow around the building, making it an even more welcoming venue for weddings. Although lockdowns and restrictions have been hard for the hospitality sector, the team here are more than ready to get back to doing what we do best – especially with these delightful new changes.” This beautiful country venue offers a flexible approach to weddings, with bespoke packages designed to the couple’s requirements. With a number of open days throughout the year, there’s plenty of opportunity to check out the venue’s new look in person.

Each set can be personalised and treats are selected to suit the recipient. What’s more, you can visit the company in person at its wonderful new shop at Springfield Mill in Denby Dale. “Throughout the pandemic we’ve been offering our personalised gift sets for customers to show their loved ones that they care,” owner Vicky Woodger tells us. “They’re beautifully boxed and packaged with a personal message card. We also launched our home fragrance range, which includes wax melts and oil burners in our signature scents. They make lovely wedding favours and we’ll soon be adding more products to this range.” Check out www.prettylittletreats.co.uk Green with envy Ecoblooms is a company specialising in eco-friendly wedding flower alternatives that you can keep and treasure as a keepsake of your big day. Run by Sylvia Pearson, the company has had to get creative while weddings have been on hold. “I create handmade, everlasting flowers from donated plastic bottles,” Sylvia explains. “Although faux flowers aren’t new, and there are so many fabulous options out there, there isn’t anyone creating them from plastic bottles with the variety that I do.” So who does Sylvia cater to? “The eco-warrior, the ever- practical, the romantic, the quirky, the sentimental,” she says. “Those who know exactly what they want and those who haven’t a clue! Everything is handmade and can be tweaked to suit exactly what the customer wants.” During lockdown, when weddings were on hold, Sylvia took orders for gifts for friends and family. “My flowers make perfect, everlasting reminders that someone loves and misses you,” Sylvia says. “I’ve also had a chance to experiment with new plastics; I can now offer mini brooch favours and cute mushroom garden ornaments.” Check out www.ecoblooms.net 10
