Festival Wedding in the Peak District

After a year and half of planning the wedding of Leanne and Tom finally arrived on the 31 August 2013.  This was always going to be one of our favourite weddings and it certainly did not disappoint anyone. The nice thing about the wedding was the fact that a lot of their family and friends pitched in to be involved in their big day,  with supplying tents, cars, cakes for the tent, making signs and bringing over wine from France.  The long days prior to the wedding setting up the site were worth it to see the fantastic result created. I think for me a special mention has to go to Leanne's good friend Kayleigh and her mum Sue who worked tirelessly to dress the venue, church and Leanne and her entourage (10 bridesmaids) with the most amazing flowers.

Leanne and Tom always wanted something Unique and a wedding that represented them and they wanted a day that their family and friends could relax, enjoy the surroundings, food, music and ambience of a festival.  Of course they wanted some quirky things throwing in as well like a vintage tea and cake tent, their own local pub 'The Barley Mow' from Bonsall, in a marquee with it's own pool table and hay bale seats outside. The 'Bonsall Red Barrow display'  and not forgetting the fabulous Tipis that their guests certainly did not expect.

Planning a large wedding with lots of suppliers to meet the brief of the bride and groom is always a challenge but one that we enjoyed immensely and keeping Leanne away from the site on the lead up to the wedding was difficult but when she was so emotional on her arrival we knew we had nailed the brief.  Leanne and Tom wanted a true festival so they had bands that had both performed at Glastonbury and Y Not festival this year to the delight of the dancing guests.

It goes without saying this day would not have been possible without the fantastic suppliers who made it all possible and these were:

• Derbyshire Wedding Planners - Bespoke Planning
• Sycamore Farm
• Vintage Tea Belles
• Creative Chef
• Simon Revill Photography
• Peak Tipis
• C & J Fisher Marquees
• Love Candy Cakes
• Lola Berries - Flowers by Kayleigh
• VR Postbox - Postbox for my wedding
• Barley Mow
• Bonsall Red Barrows
• Seven Little Sisters
• Most Ugly Child
• Festival flags - P Rowley
• Dizzy Dreams
• Luxury Loos
• Solar Shack
• Yurt - David Hoyle
• Willow Sculptures - Carol Beavis

Festival Wedding in the Peak District

For 15 months we have been planning the wedding for Leanne & Tom who from the very start knew exactly what they wanted, a church ceremony in their local Derbyshire village of Bonsall and a festival themed reception in Ashleyhay, Wirksworth.

So with wellies on we visited the site to start the full Bespoke planning process.

Choosing local suppliers was very important even down to the neighbouring village pub who have their own bakery section for home made bread The Fishpond at Matlock bath.

This wedding was very much about friends and family and being surrounded by those closest to them.

Leanne and Tom are part of a small community village and everyone supports each other, so it was no surprise that everyone wanted to help pull this very special day together for this fabulous couple.

Their local pub the Barley Mow at Bonsall have been amazing and used their connections to get the best line up for the evening entertainment ' Seven Little Sisters' and 'Most Ugly Child' Even the Bonsall Red Barrows did a display for everyone....

Using all local suppliers the day was planned:

• Derbyshire Event & Wedding Planners
• Sycamore Farm Barns - Venue
• Peak Tipis - Tipi Hire
• Creative Chef - Caterers
• Barley Mow - Entertainment & Bar
• Vintage Tea Belles - Vintage Tea Tent
• Lola Berries - Flowers by Kayleigh - Close friend of the Bride
• Simon Revill - Photographer
• Love Candy Cakes - Wedding Cake
• Equipment Hire - Fishers Marquees
• Festival Flags, bunting and Vintage accessories - P.Rowley
• Luxury Loos - Ashbourne
• Postbox for my wedding - VR Post box
• Kay Hobson - Bridesmaid dress designer based in Belper
• Cars - courtesy of family and friends
• Yurt - Bride and Groom accommodation - David Hoyle
• Solar Shack - Craig
• Willow Structures - Carol Beavis
• Dizzy Dreams - Chair Covers 

Many family and friends made home made cakes for the Vintage tea tent which gave the personal touch as well as providing a surprise Yurt for their first night accommodation as Husband and Wife.

This really has been a wedding to remember for many reasons but the main one is that this couple are so meant to be together their love for each other is overwhelmingly apparent and makes us glad to plan weddings, when you have special days like this.

All professional photos will be loaded on the website shortly.....

Charity Ball Dress Shopping....

Well with our Charity Ball on the Horizon, thought better address the 'Dress' issue.

I took along some friends to a fabulous Wedding Boutique called Nora Eve on Chatsworth Road in Chesterfield. 

All three if us chose our dresses with the help and advice from Hollie who was very welcoming and we had a really good time. Not the ordeal you sometimes get in other similar shops....

I would definitely recommend a visit to this wonderful place if you are looking for anything wedding and that special dress.... You will not be disappointed...

Pre Wedding Shoot pics with Leanne & Tom

With the wedding only a few weeks away it is always good to meet with the photographer and go through how to pose, stance etc. that is exactly what Leanne and Tom have been doing today with the talented Simon Revill.

Some of the pictures capture this couple so well and having worked with Simon on a number of weddings now we just know the 'On the Day' photos are going to be outstanding.
