NEARLYWED NEWS

Situated in Derbyshire, Willow and Rust Weddings offers planning and styling services to help couples create their dream day. The team can transform any venue and specialises in outdoor, sustainable and vintage-style events.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming for some couples, especially if they have no idea where to start. That’s why the business has created a handbook full of ideas, tips, inspiration and a step-by-step guide to venue styling.

The first section of the handbook will be about creating a budget for décor and what lovebirds can do with the items after their big day. It will also help make sure weddings don’t harm the planet with helpful ideas for a more sustainable day.

There are pages for notes, lists, and sketches throughout the handbook to keep couples on track. Plus, it’s a handy size to allow nearlyweds to slip it into their bag easily.

THE PERFECT LOCATION

Located in 42 acres of parkland, Kelham Hall is a beautiful and historic Grade I listed venue that is reopening with a new management team. After restoring the property to its former glory and changing its name to The Renaissance at Kelham Hall, the experienced team is excited to welcome couples to the glamorous spaces in the new year.

A Shade Greener Finance Ltd has invested in the property, which went into liquidation at the beginning of 2021 and has made this all possible.

The venue’s development manager, Rachel Bill, says, “The new management team, A Shade Greener Finance and I are delighted to be able to breath new life into this beautiful and iconic building. As a local resident myself, I fully appreciate the love and excitement that the community has for the venue.

With help from other talented suppliers, including Emilia Brindisi Photography, the couple created the perfect day with rustic décor and a vintage colour scheme.

The day had many emotional moments and the pair was so excited to become husband and wife. There was a few nerves in the morning, but this melted away as soon as the couple saw each other down the aisle and they soon relaxed.

The lovebirds had the best day ever, which is evident from the smiles and laughter in every photo. Check out their special day on page 39 and find plenty of wedding inspiration and stunning images.
