James and Candice's Wedding in Nr Worksop, Nottinghamshire

Our Real Wedding

We got married in my mum's local parish church, Christ Church Worksop. We had decided to hold our ceremony and reception in the same hall, for a more relaxed feel. The tables were set up in a cabaret style, and decorated with white lace and dried flowers. The colour scheme for the day was yellow, blue and white, with the groomsmen all wearing navy and the bridesmaids in yellow. What is amazing is the bunting which the husband spent all week prior making!

We made our own mead for the event, and these had hand decorated labels, for a real personal feel. They were a huge hit!

I had bought my dress during the pandemic and had spent time additionally adding floral embellishments. My mum made my veil and decorated the dress.

We had a hog roast catering company, The Roasting Pig, provide our food outside the front of the venue, and instead of a cake, my sister made a tiered crumble display.

We didn't hire a photographer as my husband and I weren't keen on posing for photos, instead we made great use of the wedshots app, where everyone was easily able to share photos on the day. We also didn't hire a DJ and although we had made a spotify playlist, we allowed our party to play music to suit the vibe. This allowed my husband to become the DJ for the night, which he loved! There was also instruments so he decided to serenade me!
