OUR WEDDING DAY!

I truly can't express how magic it is to have your baby girl with you on the morning of your wedding day. It was the cherry on top of the cake for me and she was sooo incredible throughout the day, as always, an absolute joy to be around. I will treasure these photos for the rest of my life.

The boys looked so gorgeous, each wearing tux's with George's being all Burberry everything, from his sunglasses to his tux and his shoes, which was a beautiful and important touch considering his history with the brand. He looked absolutely divine, it really was such a moment walking down the aisle to him.

The ceremony passed by in a blur of love and ALL THE EMOTIONS! Apparently there wasn't a dry eye in the house, as we said our own vows, with Goldie Rae in George's arms; it was a truly beautiful moment.

The flowers were a serious highlight of the entire day, and I can't quite believe just how insanely stunning they were! We enlisted the help of the amazing Aelisabet Flowers, who took my ideas and made them bigger and better than I could ever imagine! They transformed both Duncombe Park and Jimmy's York in a way that nobody saw coming, and for that I will be forever grateful to Hannah and her incredible team of florists.

Our guests arrived and took their seats to the sound of the beautiful Northern String Quartet who played a real mash up of songs from the likes of The Smiths, to Arctic Monkeys, to The Downton Abbey theme tune and a whole host of stunning classical and modern pieces mixed in along the way.
I walked down the aisle with my dad to Dusty Springfield's The Look Of Love, which was so special, and George and I danced back up the aisle, as man and wife, to Rusted Root's Send Me On My Way...perfection!

All of our stationary on the day, including our invites, were created at Papier, which was so super easy, the most gorgeous quality and certainly a place I would recommend for all your wedding stationary needs.

Originally, we had planned an outdoor ceremony, but as you can see from the image above, it rained and rained and rained all day long...! So, we transferred everything indoors and instead of having our pizza and champagne van's facing the lawn, they faced inward instead so we could enjoy them on the terrace, and inside, instead. It's funny how on the lead up to the wedding, I was SO obsessed with checking the weather, desperate for some sunshine so that the wedding I had in my head could take place. However, on the day I was calm and really unfazed by the fact that it didn't happen that way, and, in all honesty, I think it turned out sooo much better that way!

From the drinks reception/pizza party, it was time to make our way across to York for our evening party, something I was SO excited about! George and I had spent days leading up to our big day transforming the space, and I was so proud that we were able to pull it off just the two of us, it was such a fun way to lead up to our wedding, and it made everything that little more special knowing that it was all done by us.

We transported our guests over to York in a vintage bus, with a mini bottle of pink Moet for the journey, of course! That coach journey was hilarious, we spent the entire journey laughing and singing and just having the best time, whilst Goldie napped in her little car seat (angel!) The photos from this part of the day are some of the most special photos ever of our nearest and dearest, so I do hope you can understand why they're not featured here.

And it was party time!
How incredible is this space! I truly can't get over how we transformed Jimmy's York into our perfect wedding venue with some tinsel curtains, some absolutely outrageous flowers and a heck load of love! The space really felt like "ours" it was the perfect reception for "Megan & George's" wedding, which is what it's all about isn't it!

George's mum lovingly cooked spaghetti bolognese for us all, which is a really special dish for us and therefore so perfect to serve on our big day. The plates, cutlery, glassware and candlesticks were so kindly gifted to us by Made.com and which we have since donated to charity on their behalf, it was such an elegant yet relaxed affair.
My mum over at her side hustle, Pinfold Creations, whipped up a personalised bib for each guest which doubled up as a place setting and SO perfect for keeping those inevitable bolognese splashes away from my dress, they were such a hit with our guests.

The whole of Jimmy's was adorned in Maison Margiella's Springtime in a Park REPLICA candles to match the scent I'd chosen to wear on our big day. It was the most beautiful scent to fill the space. We were even lucky enough to gift our loved ones with a REPLICA candle or fragrance each as favours, which was such a gorgeous touch, so a HUGE, BIG thank you to them!

Once again the flowers were all created by Aelisabet Flowers, how truly breathtaking are they! Our cake was made by Manchester baker Palms Bakery and other finishing touches included pink neon candles, again made by George's mum,  and a personalised neon to our first dance You're My Best Friend by Queen, kindly gifted to us by Daze Neon.

George and the boys performed a short set, which was a huge highlight of the day for everyone, and a really gorgeous surprise for all of our guests! And from that point it was dancing time!
And boy did I dance! I danced until I quite literally dropped and I must say, George and I made the perfect party playlist, banger after banger!!!

I truly hope you enjoyed taking a small look into our wedding day. It feels so surreal but oh so lovely to be able to share these special photos with you. It really was the most incredible day of our lives, but also the most beautiful, fun and love filled weekend of our lives. I would give anything to re-live every moment just one more time.

In case anyone is in the midst of planning a wedding, I just want you to know that I would whole heartedly recommend every single one of our suppliers mentioned, so do check them out if they sound like your cup-of-tea, they're all truly sensational.
Special HUGE shout out to Bella Howard, our incredible photographer, you made all of our wedding photo dreams come true.
