Your North East Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 51)

Our florist was incredible, creating bouquets of foliage with white roses, eucalyptus and white freesia. Oliver, his dad and my dad wore buttonholes of white freesia, rosemary and mint, with the rest of the groomsmen wearing a mix of foliage, rosemary and mint. I ordered my Justin Alexander dress from Mia Sposa Bridal, which was a wonderful experience. I chose the style because it was classic, but also had an element of fun. I wanted a long train with a good-sized skirt so I could swoosh around the marquee – which I absolutely did! We got married in the church where I was christened, and just up the road from the house where my parents still live! Our reception was then held on the cricket pitch at Tynemouth Cricket Club, where my Dad played the sport – and subsequently coached. We opted for a four-tier cake made of white choco late and blueberry sponge, double chocolate sponge, lemon and elderfl ower sponge and carrot cake flavours. We wanted a marquee wedding and the cricket club setting really allowed us to make it our own. We chose fresh foliage twined into the ceiling of the marquee, with lots more greenery inside. 28
