Your Yorkshire Wedding - March/April 2023 (Issue 59)

Our chocolate, lemon and Victoria sponge wedding cake was made by Iced Yorkshire, choosing a simple design of white milk wash icing, greenery for decoration and a sparkly gold cake topper. Alex and I are really into gigs, so knew we wanted a live band – and The Bees Knees were amazing! Alex is a drummer and asked to join the band for a couple of songs, which they happily agreed to, even rehearsing together a few weeks before the wedding. We hired out a wedding-themed crazy golf course, which our guests loved. There was a lot of healthy competition going on during the afternoon, especially after a couple of drinks! We booked professionally trained West End singers and musicians as singing waiters, who served canapés and drinks before breaking into song during dessert. Everyone was gobsmacked, and they even got our family and friends involved in their set! Alex wore a grey suit, opting for tails and ivory waistcoat to stand out from the groomsmen. The guys teamed this with sage ties and pocket squares, plus fresh ivory rose and greenery buttonholes. My bridesmaids wore maxi-length, sleeveless sage dresses. As they were different ages and heights, I wanted to make sure they were happy with what they wore, so gave them a choice of designs. 29 REAL WEDDINGS
