SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS

Louise and Reece met at the young age of 15 at school, their love belonged in a movie, shyly looking at each other down the hall, passing notes during class and since then their relationship has bloomed into a matrimony to last a lifetime. Reece popped the question whilst on a break away in a lovely, cosy cottage in the scenic York, at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve a new year rolled in along with a ring, how magical.

SETTING THE SCENE

Le Petit Chateau, a Parisian Paradise located in the beating heart of Northumberland, this venue is something like no other with original historic features and lush gardens for summer soirees, it is a showstopper of a venue. All of Louise and Reece's guests commented on how amazing the venue was, it was exactly like being in an authentic French Chateau. It was so different to any other venues they had visited, and the uniqueness and beauty of Le Petit Chateau had them sold!

I WENT FOR NEUTRAL TONES - BRIDESMAID DRESSES, FLOWERS AND STATIONERY. THE VENUE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

LOUISE, THE BRIDE

THE FASHION

After seeing the perfect dress on social media, Louise made a B-line for the store it was in as she knew that dress would be the one for her. When she arrived at Te Amo in Workington, the dress of her dreams was so hot off the rack, it hadn't even been unpackaged yet! Once she tried it on the whole bride tribe agreed with her that this was the dress for her!

Louise's style emulated boho chic but with a modern twist, her hair complimented this too with a loose effortless-looking do with babies breath laced through the back and no veil to hide the look away.

It's Soooo hard to pick just one!! Considering how nervous I was for the ceremony I actually loved it, and walking back down the aisle for the confetti throw, whilst listening to ‘I’ll Be There For You’ was so special. Also dancing and singing on the terrace during our cocktail hour with my closest friends!
