Summer weddings - Sam and Laura

Had some fabulous summer weddings just waiting for official photos but a sneak peak of Sam and Lauras wedding... 

Sam and Laura got married at RuffordPark  Golf and Country club this wedding had been nearly two years in planning. Such a wonderful couple who waited for the 4th July as this had such a special meaning to them ...

With a theme of butterflies and French Navy the venue was transformed.

It was great having an army of family and friends to decorate to Sam and Laura's exact specifications.

A great day was had by all ..... 

Rachel & Paul - Fab, fun and worth the wait .....

I sat down over a year ago with Rachel and Paul to discuss their engagement and impending wedding and what their wanted their wedding to look like....

The White Hart Inn at Moorewood Moor was the perfect choice for their ceremony  and celebrations. At the time it had recently been approved as a venue to officiate wedding ceremonies. After a few visits to the venue Rachel and Paul decided it was their first choice for their special day... 

The indoor and outdoor facilities were perfect for the kind of celebrations they wanted..

A year of planning and using some of our preferred suppliers the result was fabulous...

The hen activities kicked off with at least 3 hen celebrations 

Rachel walked down the aisle on the arm of her son, with her daughter as bridesmaid a real family affair.  

After a BBQ feast and delicious miniature cheesecakes guests where on their feet dancing the night away to the amazing The Buddies band and resident DJ....

It has been a pleasure working with this wonderful couple who are clearly well suited and so in love .. A true reflection of what wedding celebrations are all about the commitment to each other surrounded by family and friends.... 

We would like to wish Rachel & Paul many congratulations and a lifetime of happiness together .....

Round up of the year

This year has been a very enjoyable year for Derbyshire Wedding Planners and Vintage Tea Belles... 

For us it is about surrounding yourself with fantastic suppliers, ones who have high standards and will deliver first class service especially for outdoor weddings.. 

All our weddings have been special in one way or another but one of our memorable weddings was that of Cassie & Phil. They married in Bakewell and then had their celebrations in fields in the Peak District. The elements where against everyone on the day as torrential rain battered the traditional marquee and rain ran like a river down the field... As a planner all you can do is be solution focused and make it work... Thankfully the sun came out later in the day so not all was ruined. And this couple were so relaxed and just rolled with it.... After all you can plan as much as you like but no one controls the weather ! 

The marquee held it's own, likewise the wedding of Guy & Katie another outdoor wedding where our friends Duncan & Mathew aka Peak Tipis provided stunning Tipis for the celebrations at Monsal Dale in the Peak Dustrict. The rain all evening didn't stop the partying and inside the Tipis it was as if there was not a drop of rain outside.. 

This year Vintage Tea Belles launched their range of vintage Hen accessories and are proving very popular 

We also started providing chair covers as a service which is also going well our last event this Saturday ...

And finally Derbyshire Wedding Planners made Regional Finalist in the Wedding Industry Awards to complete our round up of 2014..... So from our team we want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ...
