Huge Congrats to Lauren & James, the new Mr & Mrs Steel. A picture perfect wedding day, wishing you the happiest of futures for your new life as a married couple. 

The Dress:
Marc le Carr ‘Kelly’. A beautiful 1950s style ivory lace and appliqué tea length gown with a sweetheart neckline and tulle illusion detail with appliqué at the shoulder and neck and lots of full layers of tulle perfect for twirling and dancing.

The Flowers: A vintage style bouquet with soft pastel hues, flowers included lisianthius, memory lane roses , baby’s breath and delphiniums, tied together with lace. The button holes and flowers for the tables complemented my bouquet and our bridesmaids each had a bouquet and floral combs in their hair. Our flower girl had a pretty floral crown and wand to match . Our florist was Floral Boutique Florist a small flower shop just outside of Nottingham.

I Do Crew: I had 3 bridesmaids, my sister Rosie , my sister in law Rebecca and my niece Jasmine. All 3 ladies wore dresses from Coast in a soft pink colour with off the shoulder and bow back detailing. I purchased the dresses in 2 styles , Rebecca opted for a stunning fitted number and Rosie and Jasmine had an equally gorgeous fit and flare style . The bridesmaids had matching updos with fresh flower combs . 

The Venue: Our bridal preparations began at the amazing The Coach House B&B and the ceremony and reception took place at the incredible The Farmhouse at Mackworth, both located in Derby. (http://coachhousederby.com/). (http://thefarmhouseatmackworth.com/).

The Cake/Catering: Our cake was a delicious 4 tier semi-naked cake adorned with pastel spring flowers created by the talented Sophie at Red Robin Cakery . For our wedding breakfast we had a traditional afternoon tea with scones, jam,cream,sandwiches, pastries and cakes all served on vintage china with pots of tea and glasses of prosecco for toasting , it was amazing ! After our wedding breakfast Florence the vintage 1966 restored VW ice cream van arrived to serve delicious ice cream cones to our guests. For our evening reception we had a selection of some of our favourite food including burgers , fish and chips and brownies!  (https://www.redrobincakery.co.uk/). (http://www.pollys-parlour.co.uk/)
