Your North East Wedding - September/October 2022 (Issue 52)

How can you not love a day with the people you c herish the most, along with delicious food, great music, and the venue you fell in love with – plus marrying your best friend? Alex and I booked singer Glen Roughead for our ceremony and drinks reception. We love him! I walked down the aisle to an acoustic version of Tina Turner’s Simply the Best. I had a vision of white flowers on the tables, which in Autumn is a challenge! In the end we cracked it, with white flowers and silver charger plates, which kept the vibe classic and simple. Our all-white flower scheme had an amazing effect. We had a meeting beforehand with our florist, who spent a lot of time looking at what type would be the closest to our vision. My six bridesmaids looked stunning in their pure white dresses. A lot of people were shocked I wanted them to also wear white. It actually made me feel more comfortable – and just look at the photos! Alex and his groomsmen looked fantastic. We wanted to keep colours to a minimum with our venue being so bright, so they wore grey checked threepiece suits and textured bow ties. 29 REAL WEDDINGS
