Our favourite moment was the brass band. We didn't tell any guests that we booked a band. They hid up the fire escape until after the first dance and then surprised everyone. Everyone was up dancing with lots of happy faces! Our little nephew danced so hard that he wore out the tips and soles of his shoes to the point where they are now unwearable!
Autumnal October Wedding At Thwaite Mills & Northern Monk Brewery
Thwaite Mills & Northern Monk Brewery are both unique and industrial Yorkshire-based wedding venues. Northern Monk Brewery is actually the place where Carla & Elliot’s favourite beer is brewed! The couple used the industrial stripped-back style of the venues as a blank canvas to create their dream autumn theme wedding with lots of burnt oranges and dried flowers. Carla & Elliot also had a bit of a David Bowie theme going on too. As true fans, at their wedding reception, there was a life-sized cardboard cutout of the legend!
Carla & Elliot also got stuck in with some DIY projects to help them stick to their budget. The couple loved how the personal details made their wedding that much more individual and memorable. They made their own A-frame wooden arch for the altar rather than hiring/buying one. The couple also made their welcome sign from a pallet they found outside their favourite bar (so fitting for their brewery wedding!). The Polaroid seating plan was also such a fun DIY task, Carla & Elliot loved picking out silly pictures of their guests!
Do all your venue decorating the day before if your venue is okay with that. Even if you have to pay extra to hire the room. We had 2 venues and had originally planned to do it on the morning of the wedding. Looking back, I'm so glad we didn't! Try and enjoy the planning process and not stress too much. Everything will be perfect on the day and even if something does go wrong, you'll be so happy you won't even notice or care!
