I HAD BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER A SECRET WEDDING BOARD ON PINTEREST FOR MONTHS
T
his wedding which took place at one of our favourite wedding venues, Calke Abbey blew our socks off. This venue is truly a blank canvas for you to let your imagination run wild and Giulia and Wayne did just that – their creativity and eye for style is clear for all to see. A pure delight of a wedding. Here’s the super stylish bride Giulia to tell us more; “I knew exactly what I wanted as soon as I got engaged, I had been putting together a secret wedding board on Pinterest for months, collecting many ideas of my dream wedding. I wanted the whole day to commence in a rustic surrounding, an old barn, with lots of lights to create the perfect romantic setting! After hours of trawling the Internet and visits made to various venues trying to find the perfect place that was completely unique, I nearly gave up as I couldn’t find anywhere quite ‘rustic’ enough. I was then told about Calke Abbey, which even though was close to home, I had never heard of and it never came up in any of my searches. My fiancé and I decided to visit on their Wedding open day and as soon as we walked in we knew we had found our venue. The Riding School is adjacent to the old stables that are part of the Calke Abbey estate; a grade 2 listed building with exposed brick work, a blank canvas that you can completely make your own, creating the perfect rustic feel we were after! I loved the fact that it was bare, that
W W W.
it had nothing in it, no minor detail putting me off like other venues had and the grounds; well they are absolutely stunning. We fell in love instantly! I wanted to create a stylish wedding, beautiful to look at and a little different to the norm. I felt it was really important to add our personality to the day with little touches, such as reading our own vows, which were humorous but loving, and also threading an Anglo Italian theme throughout the day to reflect our heritage. This theme inspired the food, the bridesmaids arrived in fiat 500s and we even danced the Tarantella, a traditional dance from the south of Italy where my family are from. Most importantly we wanted our wedding to be fun. I have been to weddings that have had little atmosphere and I wanted the complete opposite to that. We chose to have two bands on the day; a low key acoustic duet (KaBen) for when guests were arriving, continuing into our drinks reception and then an evening band (Marc and Abi) that really got the party going. We wanted EVERYONE dancing. Live music was really important to us. The little touches took a lot of planning, I am a perfectionist and tend to dither and change my mind a lot over detail, taking forever to make a final decision.

I CHOSE TO USE NUDE TONES BUT WITH A CONTR A STING DEEP DARK AUBERGINE WHICH W O R K E D R E A L LY W E L L
My advice to brides would be to not rush on this and take your time. Through wedding events, Pinterest and Instagram I got many ideas and really fell in love with modern calligraphy. I found someone for the right price via Etsy (Elerihafdesigns) and I would highly recommend her. For my favours, one of my closest friends runs her own soy candle company, Evermore (www.evermorelondon.com) and her scents are to die for. It was a no brainer asking her to make our favours which were custom made, bespoke for our day. These went down a treat with all of our guests! For my colour scheme I chose to use nude tones but with a contrasting deep dark aubergine which worked really well, also a little different. I chose to link this with gold and light grey, although I had about 50 shades of grey which wasn’t intentional but worked really well in the end. I had a lot of green foliage too, just because I love it so much and think it looks so beautiful. My florist Justine from jflowers. co.uk did such an amazing job, she listened to what I wanted and executed everything perfectly, I was so happy with everything she did for the day. Wayne, my now husband, was going to wear a navy blue suit with a burgundy tie to link in with the colour scheme, but turned around to

me one day and said, “do you know what, I’m going to get a burgundy suit!”. I had my doubts at first, but I trusted him and it paid off. He looked incredible and the tailor really admired his admiration to be bold and do something a bit different from every other groom! For me, choosing a dress was very daunting. I never wear dresses and being petite, not even 5ft, I didn’t want to feel overwhelmed by a dress; I really didn’t know where to start. I would have worn a jumpsuit if I could! I wanted something simple but elegant. I found a few designers online but they were all international and the logistics of getting the dress to the UK and having to return it if necessary was just sounding way too complicated. So I was really stuck. I eventually came across this beautiful store in Ashby called Cicily Bridal and spotted a dress in the window, I booked an appointment straight away and fell in love with the Charlie Brear collection. As soon as I put on the Sada dress I knew it was ‘the one’ different to what I had in mind but perfect for me in every way. I chose to wear this with a long lace trim veil by hmveils, that paired with my flower crown was my outfit sorted! My day was everything I could have wished for and more.” All images courtesy of Rebecca Goddard Photography.

ere, we share a rather gorgeous photo shoot we were submitted by talented wedding planner, Natalie Hewitt
“Eucalyptus on Mass demonstrates the simplicity but beauty of foliage. Featuring an incredible gown by Caroline Castigliano and a suit by Reiss. My role as a wedding planner doesn’t limit me to just dealing with paperwork. Planning weddings is an intricate process; from creating an initial design concept, mood boards, sourcing quotes and organising suppliers to ultimately delivering a perfectly balanced and timed wedding day. Putting together a beautiful design concept is one of the key elements in planning a perfect wedding and something I love! As a wedding planner I get to hear lots of wonderful ideas brides and grooms have. I also have to be creative myself and come up with suggestions and design concepts for my clients. One of the trends I am still hearing a lot is the bride wanting a really organic and natural look. I wanted to demonstrate how effective a wedding would look without using a single flower, just foliage!
W W W.
The easiest job for me in planning this shoot was handpicking my suppliers. I get to work with and meet some amazing and very talented individuals with my job. It was amazing that everyone I asked jumped at the chance to work on this shoot…” The team: Creative Director: nataliehewitt.co.uk Photographer: wookiephotography.com Florist: catkinflowers.com Graphic Designer: rosepress.co.uk Gown Designer: carolinecastigliano.com Suits: reiss.com Hair Stylist: jameswhitehair.com Make-up Artist: makeupbyjenni.co.uk Models: blakemodels.co.uk Cake Designer: theconfetticakery.co.uk Jewellery: hl-brown.co.uk/store-locator/james-usher-son-ltd.htm Prop Hire: savethedateeventstylist.com See more of this fabulous shoot on our blog savethedatemagazine.co.uk

he lovely Alexandra Anne has such a special boutique for brides – we fell in love when we paid her a visit. Here we ask her a few questions; Ally, how long has Alexandra Anne been open for now? Two years now – although having dreamt about it for over 10 years it seems like we’ve been doing it forever! Living the dream as they say... How would you describe the ‘Alexandra Anne’ experience? First and foremost, fun! Personally, we think it’s important to get the right balance between a luxurious experience and one that you feel you can just ‘be you’, relax and enjoy. This normally begins with some refreshments – there are always plenty of Jammie Dodgers & bottomless cups of tea here to keep the energy levels up! Our two hour appointments allow time for brides to really indulge in the dress buying experience. It’s such a special and exciting time that shouldn’t be rushed. We are not waiting to roll our eyes at the first sight of your finest and trusty grey underwear! With a luxuriously spacious, comfortable and private changing room all to yourself, you can feel calm in the knowledge that we deal with anybody’s worries discreetly. There are no limits to what can be achieved – let your creative bridal imagination run wild – we love it! What can brides expect when they come and see you for an appointment? Diversity. We pride ourselves on having a contemporary and eclectic collection here at Alexandra Anne, but if that isn’t to your taste there is a beautiful and equally extensive selection of more romantic and classic styles too. You can rely on adding that little extra twist though, we do love a creative curveball!
W W W.
We source exquisite little handmade extras from all over the world so you can accessorize until your heart’s content. Whereabouts are you? We are very fortunate to be hidden away in a beautiful barn on the Chatsworth Country Estate in Derbyshire. The views are just incredible here with all the fresh air and time out a bride could want! That and a cheeky slice of cake from the farm shop just over the road... Which designers do you stock? To begin, our first love, Charlie Brear. She is a design goddess... followed closely by Jesus Peiro whom we have fallen head over heels for! We have a new designer, Rembo Styling, coming in for 2017 which we are super excited about and other beautiful creations by Pronovias, Emma Hunt and So Sassi to pore over. Topped off by the truly glamorous Eliza Jane Howell who has recently been crowned Best Bridal Designer by the top three national wedding magazines. What do you love most about working in the bridal industry? Where do we start?! In general I just love being totally absorbed in this creative industry – there are so many wonderful and clever people conceiving all kinds of amazing ideas for couples. To be swept up in dresses designed by people I have admired for years is just a pure pleasure. Seeing the smiles and confidence this gives to our brides and their families is honestly priceless.

ild Thyme offers a complete floral styling service, from designing your florals to providing the table centres, candelabras and vases to enhance your designs. Wendy, owner of Wild Thyme talks to us about her love for the business and what flowers mean to her; “When I get my delivery of flowers for a wedding, I feel like a child in a sweet shop! To me flowers are my tools of my art, just as any medium is to an artist - paint is to a painter, or marble to a sculptor. But flowers touch every sense, they are visual, they are tactile, some have an extreme presence by their scent – they are overwhelming in every sense! As a floral stylist, you have the ability to change the feel, and atmosphere of a venue, to reflect your bride and groom – and that is what I love. Whether its bringing the outside in (I hire a variety of trees from bay trees, topiary to small olive trees), making an area feel peaceful and serene, or vibrant and an explosion of colour – flowers have that

ability to transform and make a space or venue your own. I think often flowers are forgotten about in the list of importance when it comes to the wedding day itself, but they are often the thing that links the whole day together. From the dress, to the service, to the celebrations – hey create the feel for the day, and bring originality to your venue. Flowers are used to express feelings of love and celebration throughout our lives. At what point in your life, is this more relevant than on your wedding day!” Based from a workshop at home, Wild Thyme covers Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Cheshire.

mbracing the great outdoors on your wedding day couldn’t be more on trend – a trend that’s set to continue well into summer 2017. After all, what could be more romantic than celebrating your ‘I do’s’ surrounded by nature, the sun shining down on your new spouse, the wind in your hair and the sound of birdsong in the trees? Gone are the days where brides and grooms felt restricted by convention. Nowadays, your big day can be as unique as you are. And that’s why choosing the right venue to play host to your wedding celebration is so crucial. When it comes to choosing the perfect venue, flexibility and versatility are key. Take Breadsall Priory Hotel and Country Club in Derbyshire for example – the oldest Marriott hotel in the world. Not content with offering affianced couples the tradition, luxury and grandeur that comes with holding wedding ceremonies and receptions inside the 13th century property, Breadsall Priory now offers al fresco blessings and receptions tailored exactly to the preferences of brides and grooms. Want an autumnal woodland blessing with rustic benches and ribbon rags adorning the trees? You got it! Prefer more of a hip summer festival vibe for your reception, complete with street food trucks and bales of straw for guest seating? It’s yours. Or how about a low key, relaxed affair with your favourite fury family members celebrating the day with you? Done! Planning on

getting married in winter but want to do things differently? Then how about a winter wonderland reception with fur blankets, hot mulled cider, twinkling fairy lights and plenty of outdoor heaters to keep guests cosy? Bingo! Breadsall Priory’s wedding package expansion into the great outdoors is proving such a hit with couples in the East Midlands and beyond that dates are getting booked up well into 2018 as wedding co-ordinator, Michelle Clarke, explains: “Breadsall Priory is surrounded by wonderful countryside and as the trend for outdoor weddings continues to grow, we wanted to offer brides and grooms something a little bit different from your typical wedding reception. We’re happy to accommodate all kinds of weird and wonderful ideas because we recognise that for a wedding to be truly great, it has to reflect the tastes, personalities and preference of the two people getting married. The great thing about an outdoor wedding reception at Breadsall Priory is that if the heavens open, or gale force winds strike, there’s a beautiful plan B ready and waiting in the shape of our stunning 13th century priory.”

e were delighted to be approached by the National Trust yet again to work with them as their exclusive wedding coordinators for Clumber Park. There are five sites licenced to hold weddings within the park but the two we are most excited about were the focus of the summer shoot. The first, the Parsonage, stands in the centre of Clumber’s 3,800 acres of park and woodlands which is nestled within Sherwood Forest. It is a private suite of rooms comprising of the Georgiana Room, where the ceremony takes place and Hawkins Study which plays host to the wedding breakfast. It has its own private entrance and stunning views overlooking the Parsonage Lawn, which is south facing and the perfect place for Pimms and lawn games and across the breath taking lake. We really wanted to capture the beauty of the rooms and felt that the amazingly talented Leigh Mcara was the person to do that. His photos are dramatic but elegant and he was really able to depict the feel of the Parsonage. We asked the wonderful husband and wife team, Scott and Laura from Avant Garden to dress both rooms for us and as usual we were stunned by how they were able to transform the venue with their amazing floral arrangements and centrepiece. They also provided the most stunning flower crowns and bouquet for our models. Because we had wanted to show off the venue we had Kate from Splendid Signs produce some gorgeous chalk boards. Thank you to Lizzie Malcolm who provided us with a beautiful gown but also made the amazing two piece for Ruth. The models were made over by the lovely Hayleigh Louise and their hair styled by the gorgeous Alison Jenner. When it came to the Hawkins study we really wanted to show off the remarkable wallpaper that absolutely sets the room apart from others, as well as Laura and Scott, once again providing us with a centre piece

When we had finished in the Parsonage we headed over to the Glasshouse. Built in the early 1900’s, the Glasshouse is a truly unique setting for an intimate civil ceremony, with the stunning backdrop of the historic Walled Kitchen Garden and its vibrant array of flowers followed by drinks and canapes in the Rose Garden. Within the Glasshouse itself we didn’t need to do anything at all in the way of styling, the building is able to speak for itself, just imagine walking down the ‘aisle’ surrounded by the eye-catching gardens. The shoot in the Rose Garden was my favourite part of the day. I love how the garden is walled off from the rest of the Gardens and this is inspired me to think, Secret Garden with a twist for the style of the shoot. Laura and Scott dressed the table in moss and beautiful bright blooms, birdcages and candles and it was exquisite.” The Team: Photographer - Leigh Mcara - www.leighmcara.co.uk Flowers - Avant Garden - www.avantgardenevents.co.uk Signage - Splendid Signs - www.facebook.com/splendidsigns Dresses - Lizzie Malcolm - www.elizabethmalcolm.co.uk Make up - Hayleigh Louise - www.hayleighlouise.co.uk Hair - Alison Jenner - www.alisonjennerhair.com Table linen - Wedding Event Design Studio - www.weddingeventdesignstudio.co.uk Tableware - Executive Linen - www.executivelinen.co.uk Stationary - Becky Lord - www.beckylord.co.uk Cakes - Cherry Blossom Cakes - www.cbcakes.co.uk

rowing popular due to couples taking the time to save some cash for their extravagant honeymoon in South East Asia or road tripping around the US, mini-moons are fast becoming a crucial element of a wedding.

ophie Taylor is a firm favourite of us here at Save the Date. Her brides are given a seamless experience and she goes to great lengths to ensure everyone feels comfortable with their make-up and the most beautiful version of themselves.
Having worked numerous weddings, I believe every bride’s priorities are different. I enjoy tailoring every look to the needs of each individual so that the bride and the wedding party all have a magical day!”
Making her brides and their families feel relaxed is top of Sophie’s priority list as she feels this helps her to achieve the best results.
So, if you’re on the hunt for a make up artist, someone to help calm those nerves on the morning of your wedding and make you feel your best, look no further than Sophie Taylor.
Here’s Sophie to tell us more; “Being part of one of the most important days of someone’s life is an incredible feeling. Making a bride feel beautiful and confident as she embarks on her wedding day is a lovely part of my job. My aim is to not only make everyone look and feel gorgeous, but to help make the day as relaxing as possible.

ince 2011 we have been working with couples to make their dream wedding decoration a reality. We understand how important and unique your wedding is to you. Venue decoration starts with you – it is your chance to inject a bit of personality to a room or space. You may have a clear vision or need some help along the way – we work with you to bring your ideas to life. We listen carefully to your likes, dislikes and what you want to achieve whether it be sophisticated elegance or a wedding full of rustic charm, ensuring your wedding day is perfect! Don’t just take our word for it (we’re biased!) here are what our customers think: “I can’t recommend this business enough. If you are looking to have a room transformed into something beautiful and wonderful, then look no further than Perfect Day Chairs. It is refreshing to have professional people listen to what I wanted for my special day. They went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for me and I can’t thank them enough. The room looked absolutely wonderful after they had worked their magic and everyone at the wedding commented how beautiful it looked. By far the best for miles.” — Elaine Hallam

drian and Claire, husband and wife team at Harvey and Harvey have worked with us for a few years now. Their approachable style and professionalism has helped win them great accolades and deserved recognition so they’re here to talk about a recent wedding which they’ve worked on … with lovely words from the bride herself; Daniella & Daniel, or simply “The Dans” to their friends, had a number of important criteria to fulfil when it came to choosing their wedding photographer.
THE
DATE
Dan himself picks up the story, “A grumpy photographer can ruin a wedding, but with Adrian & Claire it’s like they’re looking out for you. Everything was so chilled that most of our wedding guests, even family, thought that they were old friends of ours!” To find out more about how Adrian & Claire deliver personal, natural and creative wedding photography give them a call on 01476 404620. www.harveyharveyphotography.com weddings@harveyharveyphotography.com
Style was high on the list, of course, and quality of prints and albums too. More than that, they were looking for a photographer who would help them feel comfortable in front of a camera. Daniella recalls, “Our pre-wedding shoot was a great ice-breaker when we got to know Adrian & Claire and had some fun with them trying out a few ideas in front of the camera. Dan wasn’t so keen to start with, but by the end he was so relaxed and that really showed in Adrian’s photos.”
