THE THE sky’s limit

Katy and George had a green and gold colour scheme on their big day

These lovebirds first met while at university and connected on an online dating app. They bonded over their love for the Stone Roses, and the rest is history!

George planned a trip to London one day, which was unusual as he usually left all the planning and organising to Katy. Nevertheless, they headed to the city for a breakaway, and one of their activities was the Emirates Cable Car London. Katy comments, “George pointed to the Olympic Tower for me to look at and dropped to one knee as I turned around!”

George was choked up and struggled to get his words out but managed to pop the questions. Of course, Katy said “yes,” and they spent the rest of the trip in a bubble.

Here Katy shares details about their special day…

We knew Rothley Court Hotel was the venue for us as soon as we entered the breathtaking chapel with stained-glass windows. The romantic atmosphere made it the perfect location to exchange vows.

Having our whole wedding at one venue with over-night accomadation was essential for us and our loved ones.

As we were planning a December wedding, we knew the venue would have festive touches and kept this in mind when choosing our more neutral colour scheme. We had always loved greens and gold together, which we thought would pair nicely with natural greenery.

We named our tables after roads we’d lived on, both in childhood and together.

Amy from Iris Events UK was so helpful and listened to our vision. She put together our centrepieces with golden candlestick holders, white candles, greenery and leaves.

Saying our own vows was so special and brought a few of the guests to tears – the words meant so much to us both.

We both felt so nervous before walking down the aisle, and I don’t think we were prepared for this feeling. Going into the chapel and seeing our loved ones was so overwhelming.

Booking a videographer is something we were considering in the initial stages of wedding planning. We’re so happy we did, as nothing can beat watching the day back with loved ones, hearing all the laughter and seeing the tears captured.
