Jack proposed to Chloe on their fifth anniversary, at home with their dog, Beans. Chloe explains, “Believe it or not, Jack and I went to the same school from nursery (albeit one year apart), but we never actually met at school. We met on a date in our home town of Doncaster, after chatting on Facebook for a few weeks!” The wedding preparations commenced and Chloe Scott married Jack Radcliffe on 5th September, 2021 at Saltmarshe Hall.

Here, Chloe tells us more about their day...

We really wanted a venue that offered simplicity in its décor but was really beautiful. Saltmarshe Hall fitted our brief perfectly. It’s great that they don’t have any packages to choose from; everything is personalised to you

I wanted an understated opulence to our décor. We worked closely with Megan from Belle Bijoux Events who completely understood my vision and offered lots of ideas with regards to textures and candles.

We wanted a venue with gardens full of flowers so we could get married amidst them.

We chose frosted acrylic signage with hints of silver from Rose Signage Co to complement our stationery designed by Bianco Blanc Paperie. Bia had used a monogram of our initials on all our stationery which tied everything together.

Orchids were a central theme for our florals. Whilst they were perfect for the opulent look we were seeking, they also offered a subtle hint to our planned 36 honeymoon in Asia. My dress was Martina Liana 1103 from Emily Bridalwear in Sheffield. I wanted a dress that radiated glamour and sexiness, but nothing over the top. My dress had the wow factor in all ways imaginable, but the train was what won me over in the shop – it was so big it didn’t fully fit in the room without having to move the chairs!

Jack wore a black tuxedo with a fitted waistcoat, a House of Cavani suit from Yorkshire Menswear, Leeds and the groomsmen wore the same but without a waistcoat. Serenade String Quartet played during our ceremony and drinks reception – there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when they started playing! We decided to have classical music for our ceremony to keep with the classic and timeless theme, but during our drinks reception, the quartet played a mix of pop and rock songs which our guests really enjoyed.

On the day, I think Jack was more nervous than me! I was quite calm – all the planning I had done for the previous two years had all come together and I was just excited to see everything and meet our suppliers in person!

I wanted to keep my accessories fairly simple, so chose a Linzi Jay cathedral length veil (also from Emily Bridalwear) with matching floral lace. My earrings and hair slide had flowers that matched the floral lace too – they were from Jon Richard and Wed2Be, respectively.

My parents were absolutely fantastic and spent the day running around helping organise little surprises. We definitely felt the love!

Jacob, our videographer, stepped in with less than a week’s notice, due to our previously booked photographer having to self-isolate. We can’t thank him enough for capturing all the special moments in such a beautiful way!

Our dog walker, Lesleyanne, also brought our dog, Beans, to our wedding. My husband had absolutely no idea! Although Beans wasn’t able to be part of the ceremony, he was waiting for us on the steps of Saltmarshe when we left the gardens and even had his little tuxedo on!

CHLOE’S TOP TIP! I didn’t listen when people told me the day goes past really quickly – it really does, enjoy every moment! Charlotte, our photographer, was the absolute dream! She’s the world’s best confidence giver and made us feel like supermodels. All of our guests felt welcomed by her and she was really like a friend on the day rather than a photographer!
