Northumberland's Linden Hall Hotel has seen a substantial rise in elopement weddings in the past months, as more couples opt for a ceremony for just the two of them. Their Just Us Wedding package includes three nights' accommodation, access to the spa, two witnesses, personalised menu, Champagne Afternoon Tea and more. Priced from £999, click here for info.

I'm loving Wynyard Hall's new Duke of Wellington Bridal Suite and bedrooms. Tastefully designed to match the style of the estate; beautifully steeped with history; each room has been uniquely styled, with a classic and ornate Victorian style throughout. From floral furnishings and panelled wall details to chandelier style lighting fixtures, rooms also include free standing baths and walk-in showers. The brand-new bridal suite even features a stunning roll top bath located directly underneath the grand sash windows that provide views across the estate. Visit https://www.wynyardhall.co.uk for info.

Steeped in history, Lairds House can accommodate up to 65 guests for the ceremony and wedding breakfast; and up to 125 guests for an evening reception. Art's Parlour is the largest space – beautifully presented with a large, dressed bay window, attractive feature fireplace and eclectic design, it also incorporates a split-level atrium with private bar, antique sideboard cake display area, large cinema screen and bespoke lighting.

Bride Kate says; "My dad’s speech blew everyone away! He’s a man of few words and I know how nervous he was, but he had our guests in the palm of his hand."
