\"Classic<\/p>\n

We’re going all soft, romantic and delicate today with this fabulous country house wedding with an outdoor ceremony.<\/p>\n

Angela and Toby chose to get married on the 7th May 2016 at Hornington Manor<\/a> in Yorkshire. They said I do in a wooden gazebo beneath beautiful blooms, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. Toby is a chef and their top priority was to supply good food and drink for their guests with a really relaxed vibe. Creams and pale pinks were used throughout the pretty florals and stylish outfit choices. I am especially coveting Angela’s lacey button back gown, she looked sensational.<\/p>\n

Confetti, festoon lights and a masterpiece ruffle cake completed the gorgeous decor. WOW.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much to Leah Henson<\/a> for supplying these dreamy shots.<\/p>\n

THE PROPOSAL | At home, low-key but a surprise all the same. Thankfully not what he originally planned, which was going to be at the airport in front of everyone before going on holiday with friends.<\/p>\n

THE VISION | Relaxed with good food and drink and surrounded by friends and family. Toby\u2019s a chef so we definitely wanted to make sure there was enough food. Also neither of us are morning people so we plumped for a 3pm ceremony.<\/p>\n

THE PLANNING PROCESS | We had a lot of help from friends and family. My friend (also one of the bridesmaids) found the venue and my sister (also one of my bridesmaids) made an amazing 4 tier cake, which was delicious. My mum arranged and paid for all of our bouquets and the men\u2019s buttonholes, which were beautiful. My other two bridesmaids were also amazing helping going to buy last minute bits and bobs and staying up until 3am the morning before to finalise the seating plan. I think compared to most we booked quite late – I think we reserved the venue in December or possibly January and married at the start of May.<\/p>\n

On the day the best man and his wife were superstars as was one of my friends who ended up coordinating all of the guys in the morning \u2013 she was basically our wedding coordinator on the day \u263a<\/p>\n

BUDGET | Hmm, we didn\u2019t really keep a proper tally but I guess around \u00a315k.<\/p>\n

THE VENUE | Hornington Manor \u2013 an absolutely amazing place with wonderful staff. They are all so friendly and the venue is so relaxed and comfy. The main reason for choosing it was actually the house rather than the barn that we had the reception in, although that was equally lovely. I think 33 or so of us stayed in the house. We booked it from Friday to Monday, which meant we had extra time to catch up with people that had travelled from quite far for the wedding.<\/p>\n

THE DRESS & ACCESSORIES | I thought I\u2019d be more bothered about the dress but actually I didn\u2019t try on. I originally thought I\u2019d go for something with a lot of embellishment or something a little bit unusual but in the end I went for a slightly vintage looking dress with lace and a long lace trimmed veil. I also borrowed my sister\u2019s wedding shoes and my mum\u2019s jade jewellery, which she was given by my dad\u2019s parents when they got married.<\/p>\n

FINDING THE DRESS | Again one of my bridesmaids organised me \u263a We randomly went into a wed2b store where it\u2019s like a supermarket for wedding dresses. I picked a couple, tried them on, decided one looked good and bought it.<\/p>\n

GROOM\u2019S ATTIRE | Toby’s suit was quite summery and he wanted to get something that he\u2019d wear again. His suit, tie and shoes were from Paul Smith and then he wore one of shirts that he already had. He has worn his suit quite a few times since \u263a<\/p>\n

THE READINGS & MUSIC | No readings but for music we had an acoustic version of Coldplay\u2019s \u2018Sky Full of Stars\u2019 for the ceremony. The recessional we had Etta James\u2019 \u2018At Last\u2019, which was a little tongue in cheek as we\u2019ve been together for 13 years. The first dance song, which we decided the morning of the wedding, was \u2018Ho Hey\u2019 by The Lumineers. Our band was awesome and were very chilled considering we left it until the last minute to choose the song.<\/p>\n

BEAUTIFUL BRIDESMAIDS | My sister \u2013 Louise Myers, Friends \u2013 Becca Smith, Gemma Boyle and Yvonne Chan \u2013 they were all AMAZING and I wouldn\u2019t have actually got anything done without them (I\u2019m a bit too relaxed sometimes \u263a). We also had my niece (Lucy) as flower girl and my nephew (Harry) and Toby\u2019s nephew (Wang Yihe) as page boys.<\/p>\n

THE FLOWERS | My mum organised the flowers with a lovely florist in York.<\/p>\n

THE CAKE | An amazing white four tier cake with alternating flavoured cake layers and plenty of buttercream \u2013 my favourite! Made by my amazing sister!<\/p>\n

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER | Leah Henson \u2013 I first met Leah when I asked her to video my friend\u2019s wedding. Her stuff is really natural and relaxed and we\u2019re really pleased with the photos and video.<\/p>\n

THE DETAILS & D\u00c9COR | Lots of coloured glass vases from the Range and Ikea with eucalyptus and other flowers that we bought from the flower stall in York city centre the day before the wedding. Oh and lots pillar candles. We also had festoon lighting in the barn and in the courtyard.<\/p>\n

THE HONEYMOON | Still deciding, probably Cuba and the Cayman Islands this Christmas.<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENTS | Seeing everyone there, having my dad walk me down the aisle and my best friends by my side was awesome but I think my mum\u2019s amazing impromptu speech stole the show. I got a little choked up whilst thanking everyone and she swept in and saved the day with a beautiful speech.<\/p>\n

One other thing which was really fun was a second day of getting dressed and taking photos including one of my bridesmaids who couldn\u2019t actually make it for the wedding day. We threw the dresses on and I don\u2019t think we even bothered with hair and make up. We did some funny shots including one of me throwing the bouquet which actually ended up hitting me in the head, much to everyone\u2019s amusement! \u263a<\/p>\n

ADVICE FOR OTHER COUPLES | Do your table plan a little earlier than the night before the wedding ;). Also, Pinterest is great for planning.<\/p>\n
