REAL WEDDING

The beaming bride, the gorgeous groom and the tumbling bridesmaid…

Jennifer and Liam met and wooed each other as teenagers, a romance that quickly fizzled out. It was a full 5 years later that they reconnected, bumping into each other on Christmas Eve 2010. One date later and this unbreakable duo formed.

Liam proposed in the hotel room in Iceland after the temperamental Northern Lights didn’t make an appearance, and their planning journey started.

Flirty Thirty…

Originally booked two years before their big day and having the stress of wedding planning through the Covid19 pandemic, this couple opted to wed in their chosen venue with just 30 guests and had the most perfect wedding day.

Thanks to the pandemic, all of our face-to-face meetings had to be crammed into two months before the wedding. However I was incredibly lucky to have the most amazing people on board, every bride probably says the same, but I believe my suppliers to be the absolute BEST! – Jen

This is the Place

For this couple, it just had to be award-winning Rudding Park.  The beautiful reception spaces, bridal suite and on-site chapel stole this couple’s hearts, with Jen in particular loving the idea of being able to wed in the breathtaking chapel and then have her reception close by in the wedding wing of Rudding Park.

This couple didn’t need to look elsewhere and booked Rudding Park a couple of weeks after their initial visit.

Going for Gold 

Lydia from Ambience Venue Styling Harrogate worked together with florist Gina to enhance the suites stunning features with the addition of blousy cream blooms and an intertwined foliage runner gold rimmed glasses, gold candlesticks and beautiful neutral chairs. The overall look was incredibly elegant and sophisticated and a fitting setting for the bride’s Enzoani Lesley gown from The Harrogate Bridal Lounge and her husband’s navy custom-made three-piece suit.

Falling for You

 

In amongst the unbridled joy of their day, there is one moment that stuck out to Jen for the sheer hilarity. On the way to the chapel, one of her renowned clumsy bridesmaids took a tumble – seemingly tripping over thin air!

THE NIGHT BEFORE SHE SAID SHE WAS SCARED OF FALLING DOWN THE AISLE. SHE DIDN’T QUITE MAKE IT THAT FAR! BUT SHE HANDLED IT LIKE A COMPETE PRO. IT WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOMENTS OF THE DAY!
