Your East Midlands Wedding - Apr/May (Issue 31)

Cattows Farm was the perfect setting for our reception. I loved that we could decorate the tipi however we wanted. We got married in the village where I grew up. It’s a beautiful old church in lovely surroundings on top of a hill. Our bridesmaids wore relaxed colourful floral wrap dresses. I knew what they’d like and it was the first one that I ordered, so it was really easy. Sean and his best men, Liam and Padraig, wore Paul Smith suits with tweed waistcoats and wool spotty ties. Once Sean had found the suit he relaxed and enjoyed finding the accessories. I chose the first dress I tried on. I loved how graceful it was but that it also had a relaxed feel about it, which went perfectly with our day. I wore my hair in an up do that was accessorised with flowers. I opted for natural make-up – Stacie from Kate Attwood’s salon is an amazing stylist! Grace’s top tip: Involve your family and friends as much as possible. The more people helping, the more fun it is! 38
