Summer Wedding - Laura and Ciaran

This wedding another favourite of ours as it was a very 'hands on' by the whole wedding party and friends.  I remember discussing venues and wedding suppliers and ideas with the bride Laura not long after Ciaran had popped the question.

They decided on the village church at Wingerworth where Laura grew up with a reception at a favourite of ours Casa Hotel in Chesterfield.

The brides mum who is great with flowers and everything craft was keen to help and she had an army of friends helping with flowers and lots of tasks leading up to the day and on the day itself...

Using the flower market in Sheffield meant the group of flower ladies headed by the Mother of the bride spent days conditioning and preparing arrangements for the church, Casa and the bridal party.  They also did us a favour by doing bridal flowers for another wedding we had on the same day.

Laura was a very relaxed bride on the lead up to and on the day itself ...

All the little touches made this wedding very special especially the much appreciated pimms and canapés for guests as they came out of church 

Laura and Ciaran disappeared off to Walton Lodge for photos as guests made their way to the Casa Hotel for the celebrations to begin.

Home made cookies were a super treat for all the guests and the purpose cut and polished cheese stand from a family friend was perfect for the Cheese Wedding Cake.

This was a truly special wedding, very relaxed and very family and friend focused, we loved being part of this special day.

Summer Weddings - Matt and Lynsey

It is always a pleasure doing a wedding for someone you know, as you pull out all the stops to ensure they have the day they truly want.

Matt and Lynsey knew exactly what they wanted and what budget they had to make it happen..... This meant calling in a lot of favours luckily lynsey works in the industry as well.

This was always going to be a relaxed wedding with a pub theme and food of their choice.

It wasnt a typical wedding for us helping with service as well as preparing but we were happy to help with a group of staff to ensure the couple got what they wanted. 

Lots of family and friends of the couple turned up on Friday to dress the venue to the exacting specifications of the couple's vision..... it looked fabulous....

Matt and Lynsey did so much for this wedding and where very hands on with the  decor, you can see the design flair in all the decoration of the venue.

We pulled in lots of favours for this wedding which cant go un noticed:

**Vintage Tea Belles for the Afternoon tea China  

** Pam and the flower Ladies for the bridal party bouquets 

** Community Centre for the crockery and equipment 

**Sharon and our friends for doing way more than is expected ...

This wedding proves what can be achieved in a village hall with lots of vision

Well done to Matt, Lynsey and all other friends and suppliers in helping them achieve what they wanted for their big day .......

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....

The gorgeous wedding cake by Glenda Scarborough with the added bling to match the theme of the wedding 

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 .....
