Your Yorkshire Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 62)

We had our place names hand crafted, with the hope friends and family would take them as a keepsake. Many guests have since shared how they’ve used them in their own homes. I wanted a simple bouquet, with more foliage than flowers. My florist produced the most wonderful aesthetic bouquet you could ever imagine, even popping in a hidden blue eryngium for good luck. The inspiration for our cake was taken from the second Sex and the City movie. Its floating illusion with crystal décor and simplicity was incredible! I found my Elysee Bridal gown after searching for what seemed like a lifetime for the perfect dress! Opting for simplicity, it featured sheer satin fabric over decadent lace. I teamed it with a long gold veil and ivory heels with a gold butterfly. My bridesmaids wore deep navy floor-length gowns with long lace sleeves and an open back, with the colour working perfectly alongside my ivory wedding dress and gold venue décor. Our daughter, Erin, was only five months old when we married. She wore a stunning ivory dress with ruffles and navy bow, and was the most gorgeous flower girl you’ve ever seen. 41 REAL WEDDINGS
