Your North East Wedding - March/April 2023 (Issue 55)

Woodhill Hall ticked all our boxes, and The Olive House is a beautiful choice for ceremonies. I’m a crafter, so for our table plan recycled wine bottles with new labels and fairy lights with our guests’ names on. Gary’s more traditional, so he chose a tuxedo, along with his groomsmen. I loved how our outfits summed up our personalities – me all bohemian and Gary all business! My brother, who passed away 13 years ago, spent most of his life in Holland. Orange is the region’s national colour, so in honour of him the colour became the theme to our day. Looking online at local dress suppliers, I could see there was nothing ‘me’. I turned to The Little Seamstress, who designed my incredible bespoke gown. I sent our cake-maker pictures of what we wanted, and she certainly delivered. The cake, like a lot of the day, was bohemian and autumnal. 38
