Black Tie Rockbeare Manor wedding with lilac bridesmaid dresses

Rockbeare Manor Black-Tie Wedding

Photography by Simon Biffen Photography

We can just feel all the love at this Rockbeare Manor wedding! Andrea & Neil wanted their day to have a relaxed and chilled vibe, with a minimalistic and elegant style. Their black tie dress code and beautiful pastel florals are the perfect combination. With a Gift List from Recommended Supplier, The Wedding Shop and wedding signage from Maison Creations, what more could you want? After 25(!) bridal appointments, Andrea eventually said yes to a stunning Pronovias wedding dress, complete with eye-catching shoulder details. We are also loving the lilac bridesmaid dresses, a stunning addition which works perfectly alongside their colour scheme. We’d also like to take a moment to appreciate the reception outfit change… seriously, how good can one couple look!?

As God is at the centre of our relationship, it was important for us to ensure our blessing ceremony reflected that. We wanted the day to have a relaxed and chilled vibe, have fun with friends and family and celebrate our love. The styling was modern, elegant, simple, minimalistic, and architectural with a light and subtle feel with attention to detail.

ROCKBEARE MANOR 

Having both their ceremony and reception within their venue, Andrea & Neil needed to ensure it was a versatile space. Of course, Rockbeare Manor went above and beyond. Their blessing ceremony included live worship music and five pastors. Everyone enjoyed a sit-down meal, and Andrea was able to throw her bouquet from the balcony! 

FAVOURITE MOMENT

The moment Andrea locked eyes with Neil as she walked down the aisle. Once they saw each other, those smiles just radiated throughout the venue! Their couples shoot was relaxed and full of laughter (don’t miss those couples shots in the rain). They also danced their way into the reception as newlyweds!

When you start planning give yourself enough time to book your venue and suppliers as time really does fly! Have fun planning with your partner and try to remember to look after each other's mental health. Have dates where you don't talk about the wedding!
