Who? BlossEm

Where? Pontefract

“I offer all aspects of floristry from designs to ceremony and venue styling,” says BlossEm’s Emily Davis. “My style is natural and romantic, as I work with the seasons and complement the surroundings of a wedding. From the initial meeting to delivery of your flowers, I offer a personal service where you deal with myself through all the planning. I put my heart and soul into every big day, and after 16 years still get butterflies showing a bride her bouquet.” www.blossem.co.uk

“I’m a bespoke wedding florist with no set designs or packages,” says Harriet Jane Flowers’ Harriet Coates. “I’ll work with you to create your dream flowers to your style and budget, listening to your wants and needs. Whoever you choose, try your hardest to entrust your florist to make the right decision, giving your colour suggestions as opposed to specific flowers. This allows us to create a stunning design that falls within your budget.” www.harrietjaneflowers.co.uk

Plus more is always more in my book!” https://pinkginger.net

Aston Hall Hotel, built in 1772 and steeped in history, offers the best of everything. It has been lovingly restored and updated with a modern, contemporary design, which is high in style whilst remaining a neutral backdrop for your wedding and keeping the original features intact.

Surrounded by 55 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland, only one minute from junction 31 of the M1 and on the doorstep of the beautiful Peak District, the setting is stunning and the location is ideally placed, making for a luxury, urban retreat.

The hotel is licensed to hold indoor civil ceremonies and civil partnerships, and in addition is licensed for outdoor ceremonies between April and September in the beautiful Pagoda on the front lawns. Aston Hall is also the only wedding venue in Sheffield with a church in the grounds, in case a traditional church wedding is preferred.

Seating up to 250 guests, the Lagonda is the ultimate suite for any wedding offering flexibility in set-up and in size. Boasting a large dance floor, contemporary neutral tones and with its own bar, Lagonda offers privacy in stylish surroundings.

Virage opened in 2018 and although located in a separate building, is in keeping with the look of the hotel and its original character, as well as being finished off to a high specification with its own individual and unique design. There is a spacious and contemporary bar area, leading through to the main function room which has floor to ceiling windows and a skylight stretching the full length of one end of the room. This fantastic space seats up to 100 for your wedding breakfast and 150 for your evening reception.

Aston Hall also has 52 stunning en-suite bedrooms to accommodate your guests, including executive bedrooms, superior and luxury bedrooms, the latter of which feature stand-alone baths and four poster beds – brides and grooms can choose from one of these bedrooms for their bridal suite.

The hotel offers a variety of packages to suit all requirements and budgets, starting from as little as £3,000. For more information, to request a wedding brochure, or to arrange an appointment to view the venue, contact the hotel directly on 0114 2872309 or email: weddings@astonhallhotel.co.uk www.astonhallhotel.co.uk

Who?

Where? York

“I specialise in wedding florals including bouquets, buttonholes, corsages and internal and external venue installations,” says Lottie Roberts Flowers’ Nicola Frear. “I offer a personal bespoke service; don’t insist on a minimum spend; and offer consultations in the comfort of your home – or the local coffee shop if you prefer! I also make alternative buttonholes using dried flowers and feathers, meaning grooms can wear something different if they wish.” www.lottierobertsflowers.com

Who? The Little Flower Hut

Where? Pontefract

“I make bespoke bouquets, buttonholes and flower crowns, through to ceremony arches, large scale vertical columns, flower clouds and more,” says The Little Flower Hut’s Jill Alexander. “Being sustainable, I suggest ways in which flowers can be repurposed throughout the day. No toxic floral foam or single use plastic gets used, and I work with local growers and suppliers. I also have my own style, and this is one of the main reasons couples book me.” www.thelittleflowerhut.co.uk
