Your Yorkshire Wedding - Page number 41 - September/October 2021 (Issue 50)

The top table was One Day Like This with other tables named after some of our favorite songs such as You’re Not Nineteen Forever, Common People, Champagne Supernova to name a few. We tried to mix it up a bit so everyone got to know each other, and provided plenty of drink to help people on their way. I stayed at Holmfirth Vinyard the evening before and hired a retro VW Campervan to kick off the day with a festival vibe. The cake was provided by Cakes By Lynda from Doncaster. Wayne knew her having worked with her in the past and there was no one else we’d rather use. Her cakes are delicious! People’s names were on wooden hearts which were wrapped with string around the napkins. Our maid-of-honour, Hayley, came to the rescue at the last minute and did a great job of making these look good. The venue provided all of the catering; there was hardly a crumb left the food there is brilliant. Music was playing throughout the day, and the sun was shining down making a great atmosphere. Between the wedding breakfast and evening do we had Mark Waddington, a local magician. He went down a treat attracting large groups of people. He interacted with people really well, making our guests laugh as well as impressing with his magic tricks. We couldn’t have asked for more from him. I wore a dress by Nicole Spose which was provided by Dotty Bridal in Holmfirth. After trying more than 30 dresses it was a big relief to find the perfect dress. When I walked into the boutique, I wanted to be a Dotty’s bride – the staff couldn’t do enough to make you feel welcome and comfortable! Tip: Just enjoy it.Take a moment for yourselves. Get involved with everyone and have a great time! REAL WEDDINGS 41
