The Dress
Chloe the Bride: I wore a
Delphine Manivet dress with my grandmothers diamond earrings and watch, simple silver sandals from
Whistles and I changed into wedges for dancing after dinner. I had flowers in my hair from
Susie Hart Florist and lots of
Jo Malone scent.
Florist
My bouquet flowers were taken from the garden and my daddy's scented roses along with herbs etc, all Susie Hart's idea. We had centerpieces of various designs for maximum impact and brought the large arrangements from the church to sit on the bar in the marquee.
Decor
I ordered personalised bunting from LA on
Etsy with our names and date.
I saw blue toile tablecloths and hot pink flowers on Pinterest and was inspired, Charlie's Step-Mummy found the fabric and had it made into tablecloths.
Stationery
The seating plan, table numbers, menus and drinks illustrations on the bar were all designed by
Julie Annis Hollyhock Lane. Julie also designed our beautiful invitations, rsvp cards, and orders of service, featuring my elderly but much loved pug, Aggie.
Venue
Our venue home(!) with a wonderful Sperry tent by
PapaKåta. The garden was in full bloom thanks to my parents tirelessly gardening and watering.
Food
Our caterer was the
Yorkshire Party Company, and we had breast of guinea fowl stuffed with fresh herbs wrapped in prociutto and served on a basil and parmesan risotto finished with asparagus spears and salsa verde, followed by lemon and fine posset cream with crushed raspberries and topped with lemon shortbreads. It was delicious.
Bridesmaids
Maid of honour Polly had beautiful navy dress from
The Reformation which I shipped from the US, and the Flower girls wore dresses made in Liberty fabric by Millie Crawford of
Peak Princess.
Groomsmen
Charlie wore a
Gieves and Hawkes morning suit with
Church's loafers the groomsmen wore morning dress. We bought them all ties from Jermyn Street so they were matching but in various colours.”
Photography & Videographer
Helen and Motiejus were absolutely fantastic and we absolutely adore our photographs!
Adam Nicholas was great. It took us a while to find a videographers we liked the style of...but we loved Adam's work.
Ceremony
We had the Ogden Nash poem and an Apache wedding blessing along with our favourite hymns. The wonderful choir the Yorkshire Decibelles sang John Cooper Clarke's I Wanna Be Yours recently covered by the Arctic Monkeys.
Our Story
We met each other at school when they were just 13 years old. Growing up together meant there was a strong bond between all friends and family and the atmosphere throughout the day was fantastic! Charlie proposed to me in Formentera in September last year and since then we've managed to organise a gorgeous country wedding in my childhood home in Aldborough.
