Redwood Heights
Apartment | 1 bedrooms | sleeps 2
|Key Info
A holiday in Redwood Heights offers a modern, spacious apartment, with stunning views across the valley to the Long Mynd. The town is 10 mins walk away with its pubs, shops, restaurants, teashops, Leisure Centre, antique shops. Stretton is a 'welcome to walkers' town. The train from Church Stretton travels to Shrewsbury and Ludlow or further into mid Wales. There are drives further afield to visit castles or the museums of Ironbridge (home of the industrial revolution). Stokesay Castle is two miles away, a fortified manor house.
There are 15 steps up to the property. The apartment has every facility for self catering; putting your feet up, sitting on the private deck and enjoying the tranquility. The view is National Trust land so it will always be the same, only changing with the seasons. Gas and electric heaters can be adjusted individually by you so you will always be comfortable. There is a fan in the bedroom for warmer weather. There are wild horses on the Hills and many sheep. It is a do nothing or do all holiday. We are usually around for help and advice - but generally you will be left in peace and quiet - the choice, of course, is yours.

The Heart of England/Peak District
Shropshire is a very large county. Redwood Heights is in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Much Wenlock is 10 miles away, the home of the first Olympics. A drive up The Burway (or take the shuttle bus in summer) to the top of the Long Mynd (Mountain) flat walks can be enjoyed, through the heather where wild horses are seen and lots of sheep. The view coming back down the mountain is breathtaking. 12 miles away, Shrewsbury is full of black and white buildings with the castle and houses dating back to Tudor times. Ludlow has a market several days a week. The surrounding area of Church Stretton has many little villages, with churches and pubs. Acton Burnell, 4 miles away has a ruined castle, and was the site of the first parliament. The RAF Museum (free) is at Cosford. Ironbridge, birthplace of the industrial revolution, with many museums, is 15 miles away. Stokesay fortified manorhouse is two miles away. Tucked away off the A49. Little Stretton has one of the few thatched churches, whilst Saint Lawrence church in the town is large and welcoming. Catholic and Methodist churches - all within walking distance. On a stroll through town, take time to look up each little alleyway or street and you will see a 'picture postcard view' of the hills, if you are not too busy looking in the shops!
Church Stretton
The Church Stretton Arts festival is last week of 26th July to 9th August with many musicians, talks and plays and an art exhibition. There are 50 or so hobby clubs in Church Stretton and you would be welcome to visit some of them. Shuttle buses operate on to The Mynd and Much Wenlock and villages. Train is 15min walk away.
Ludlow and Shrewsbury both have live theatre and cinemas. There is a golf club on the hill, bowls, croquet and tennis courts are available in the centre of Church Stretton. There is also a leisure centre and a swimming pool. The library has internet access. The tourist office, ready to help you with sightseeing, is in the library. There is the MTB (mountain bikes) Outdoor Centre at Marshbrook (1 mile away) where cycles can be hired. (We have a lock up for cycles). There are many activities for visitors in the Mayfair Centre in the middle of the town, internet access, complementary therapists, (massages etc.) There are 4 group walks a week with a free local guide, craft groups, a Country Market on Thursday mornings and Friday mornings in Mayfair and much much more, just waiting for you to pop in. Church Stretton has many tea/coffee shops, several restaurants, three pubs, a large antique shop (3 floors) and gift shops, fruit and veg shop, two butchers, clothes shops, as well as the usual charity shops. A medium size supermarket is in the centre, well stocked as well as a mini Martin The Spar. Church Stretton is lovely to stroll around because everything is central.

"Spacious, superb accommodation, welcoming unobtrusive hosts."
Accommodation was truly spacious. Lounge/diner much larger than our at home. Ceilings slope towards windows (taller people need to be wary) but not a problem. Kitchen was very well equipped. Décor was nice and bed was very comfortable The view was amazing. We were fortunate to be there Bonfire night weekend and witnessed a wonderful display of fireworks from the apartment window and balcony. It went on for ages and was as good as any expensive ones we have been to .
Hosts were very welcoming but not intrusive. Lovely friendly, informative People. Town was lovely, the Chinese take away was very cheap and served huge portions.
Drove up to Long Mynd and watched a display of gliders and birds looping the loop. Views were spectacular.
Unfortunately only spent two nights there. The drive to the property is very steep and we would not negotiate it in snowy weather, it would be a matter of walking. An overall very pleasant experience, accommodation, host, and location.
8 Jun 2013
Well-appointed holiday flat with fine views of the Long Mynd and pleasant, helpful owners. Highly recommended!

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
May 21, 2009
Dwight Howard was strong enough to take down the backboard. And Rashard Lewis did enough to help take down the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers.
Howard scored 30 points and carried his teammates early, then Rashard Lewis hit the game-winning 3-pointer with 14.7 seconds left to send the Orlando Magic to a 107-106 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. The win gives the Magic a 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. Game 2 is Friday night in Cleveland.
It was the Cavaliers' third home defeat this season, and came against a Magic team that has been criticized for showing a lack of mental toughness during the playoffs.
That has changed over the past 72 hours, when Orlando won in Boston in Game 7 to win its semifinal series, then followed it up with a stunning victory over a Cavaliers team that sailed through their first two postseason series.
"Everybody is always counting us out as a team," said Howard, who scored 30 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. "We believe if we play Magic basketball for 48 minutes, we can beat anybody."
Howard was the only offensive weapon in the first half, scoring 18 of his team's 48 points. He kept the Magic in the game long enough for the shooters to get going.
"I felt my team wasn't playing as well as we needed to," Howard said. "I tried to be aggressive attacking the basket and getting easy points. When we're down, somebody has to step up."
The Magic were feeling really low at the half after Mo Williams' 67-foot heave at the buzzer went in to give Cleveland a 63-48 lead at the break.
Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy was upset with his team's lackadaisical half, when his players stood by and watched LeBron James drive through the lane for uncontested dunks.
"(Van Gundy) told us at halftime that it looked like we were all witnesses," Howard said, alluding to James' other slogan. "It really motivated us."
Orlando connected on 7 of 13 3-pointers in the second half, the defense tightened up and the Magic outscored the Cavaliers' bench 25-5.
Mickael Pietrus came off the bench to score 13 points for Orlando, including a pair of 3-pointers. Hedo Turkoglu had 15 points and 14 assists and Lewis had 22 points — including the biggest shot of the night.
After Howard fouled out, Orlando was coming out of a timeout trailing 106-104. The ball went to Lewis, who hit the 3-pointer from the corner to topple the Eastern Conference's top seed on its home floor.
"There was no big genius thing there," Van Gundy said. "Rashard just made a hell of a shot and we came up with a stop on the last possession."
The Magic struggled with James, who finished with 49 points, six rebounds and eight assists. But the Cavs didn't get a point from a bench player in the second half.
"They hit us first. I felt like we only played one half tonight and that was the second half," Lewis said. "We took a step back and were timid in the first half. I thought we played tremendous defense in the second half."
Play was stopped for eight minutes early in the first quarter when Howard's dunk loosened the 24-second shot clock from the backboard.
"I've done that before, a couple times," Howard said. "I didn't even know what happened. I thought it was a regular dunk until I turned around. I saw the replay. It was a fun thing to watch."
Howard was harassed by James, who guarded Magic point guard Rafer Alston much of the night so he could sneak over and help double-team Howard. James caught Howard for three blocks in the game, frustrating Orlando's star, who felt he was fouled each time.
Howard was whistled for a technical after complaining about a James block in the third quarter.
Howard proved he could handle the physical play.
"When we run, defend and rebound, we win a lot of games," Howard said. "If we want to win this series, that's what we have to do every night."

Tony Tyler's remarks at AVSEC World, which took place in Washington, on 27 October
Infrastructure charges must be set at levels that enable airlines to satisfy demand for connectivity, that provide a reasonable return on investment, and that allow for sufficient investment in future developments and service quality.
Because infrastructure providers often enjoy monopoly or quasi-monopoly status, governments and regulators have a vital role to play in maintaining vigorous oversight of charges and development. Airlines, furthermore, require a formal role in capital investment decisions, since it is airlines that ultimately pay for those investments.
ICAO principles have been established to ensure transparency and a proper role for customers in the decision-making process on infrastructure investment and charges. This partnership can be mutually beneficial while enhancing the passenger's experience.
IATA continues to remind providers of their obligations to consult with users and to maintain full transparency on charges. IATA is supporting this work by tackling the root causes of high charges. Efforts will include lobbying governments to scrutinize privatization and concession models.

Admit it: We've all wondered at some point what Brad Pitt smells like. A rugged, masculine melange of sandalwood, cinnamon, and freshly trimmed beard? An intoxicating cocktail of True Romance and 12 Monkeys? A faint whisper of whatever Angelina Jolie happens to be wearing? A weird old man baby?
Thankfully, this burning question has just been answered. E! revealed today that the Oscar nominee has signed on as the new face of Chanel No. 5 — a classic scent beloved by the world's glitterati since the 1920s. (Marilyn Monroe allegedly claimed once that she wore only a few drops of Chanel No. 5 to bed.) Though reps for Pitt and Chanel aren't commenting yet, E! says the star will film an ad for the fragrance in London this week and net a seven-figure paycheck for his trouble. That'll buy a man a lot of perfume.

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
Press Releases
Torture Testimony Contributes to Decision in Federal Case in Ohio
A medical expert in the Asylum Network of Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) provided key testimony contributing to a significant ruling in Ohio last month in which a federal judge held that a former Somali security official was responsible for ordering the arrest and torture of a Somali law professor more than 20 years ago.
US Senate Approves Passage of Magnitsky Act
PHR applauds today's passage by the US Senate of legislation that would place sanctions on Russians implicated in the torture and death three years ago of a Russian anti-corruption lawyer; the vote was 92 to 4.
Deep Disappointment Follows Senate's Rejection of UN Convention on Persons with Disabilities
PHR is deeply disappointed at today's Senate vote not to adopt the UN Convention on Persons with Disabilities.
Bahraini Medics Convicted in Criminal Court: Dismay, Disappointment
PHR today expressed dismay at the decision by Bahrain's Lower Criminal Court to sentence 23 health professionals to three months in prison on charges of illegally gathering during Arab spring protests in 2011. Five others were acquitted.
Easing of Sanctions on Burmese Imports Does Little to Improve Human Rights There
As expected, the Obama administration today suspended the US ban on imports from Burma, just days before President Obama's historic visit to that country. Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is disappointed that the decision was not coupled to a requirement for proper safeguards to protect human rights.


text: if you are anything like me, then using hot hair tools is beyond your basic comprehension of the hair styling process. i can straighten and curl my hair, somewhat reasonably... in the front. working backwards in the mirror is just too confusing, and, most of all, time consuming. the one thing standing between me and my potential styling skills is patience. which through my experience, i know you kind of need. enter my recently started schwarzkopf professional product trial, a little willingness to learn and some trial and error and i have myself a brand new way of ensuring a full head of perfectly waved hair, no patience necessary, you can even catch some z's. i recently stumbled upon a tutorial that changed my life and i want to pass that wisdom onto you now. it's cheaper, more lasting and most importantly, less damaging than any hot tools will ever allow. follow these above steps with a head of damp hair, air dry overnight, or blow dry if you are in a hurry (both work well). when using a blowdryer i will suggest coating your ends with the session label osis+ silk shine cream, the essential product for styling with hot tools, preventing dryness and breakage from damage. in the morning you may notice your hair still a bit damp, unravel and brush through liberally to loosen the curl (remember the goal is an easy, laid-back wave, not a tight curl). spray through with the osis+ session extreme hold hairspray or work osis+ wax dust through for extra hold. keeping the wave in your hair for a couple of days will help with washing your hair less often, staying away from the killer straightener and overall promote a healthier lifestyle for your hair. for those of us who were not blessed with this natural texture or those who simply want to add something extra to your stampede looks this year this is a pretty amazing solution to any bad hair days. xoxo

July 21st, 2014 | Rachel Parry
When I was a journalism student I recall going to Sheffield's Town Hall to interview Lord Seb Coe and being instantly struck by the opulence and grandeur of the impressive building. Fast forward several years and I was recently back there interviewing a long serving BBC radio presenter which reinforced just how stunning the iconic Sheffield venue really is.
So when I spotted Rob and Dora's beautiful wedding, photographed by the hugely talented Jon at S6 Photography, I was desperate to share it here on the blog to show others just how special the building is.
Some may think a town hall isn't necessarily the most glamorous venue – but I'm telling you, it doesn't get any more regal than this – cue spectacular stain glass windows, fine chandeliers and one heck of a marble staircase.
All this coupled with Rob and Dora's simple yet striking styling makes for an incredibly swoon-worthy wedding.
Dora says: We got married on April 12th 2014 in Sheffield, which is where we met while attending Sheffield Hallam University. We chose the Town Hall in Sheffield, because of the amazing architecture and grandeur of the building. The amazing staircase in the middle of the main entrance was very appealing too.
We wanted the style of the wedding to be quite relaxed. In terms of colours, we used lots of green flowers against the white of the tables because we liked the country style feel. We also liked the clean white look and didn't want anything too formal. Opulent Styling from Sheffield provided our chair covers and olive green sashes. Bev and Jean were great and helped make our day a success. We would definitely recommend them to other couples.
My dress was a vintage style gown from Phase Eight. I chose it because I wanted something a bit different, with embellishment, something slim-fitting (not meringue style) that was floor length, a detailed back, but especially I wanted it to be vintage style.
Rob wore a blue Reiss three-piece suit and with a light check while the groomsmen all wore grey three-piece Occasion suits.
My bridesmaids wore floor length grey/purple dresses from Coast.
I carried a bouquet of flowers from Floral Magic, based in Stocksbridge, Sheffield. I had a mixture of white tulips, paper whites, thesspi green bell, freesia, anemones, ranunculus, and a dusky pink rose.
Jon Dennis of S6 Photography was our photographer. I would highly recommend Jon because of the exceptionally high quality photos we have of our day. We knew that this was a once in a lifetime day and we are so glad that we have it documented from such a great photographer. Jon made us, and our guests, feel relaxed all day and all of our guests noted how good he was.
Our favourite part of the day was the ceremony itself. We were both nervous about seeing each other but as soon as we got together and hugged each other after walking down the aisle we relaxed. It felt very important that we were sharing our vows with all of the people who are important in our lives.

Its holiday season here on the blog, and as the editorial team take a break to redesign, review and recharge, we'll be leaving you with a reduced blogging schedule so that you still get your daily dose of wedding lovely.
Usual service will recommence on Monday 7th July 2014, but in the meantime watch out for recaps of our favourite Real Weddings so far this year. Drop in every day for the very prettiest, most unique wedding inspiration and – if you are a Brides Up North bride – to see if your Real Wedding was one of our top picks.
Katie and Guy's Real Wedding is my kind of affair. Classy, beautiful and elegant – with lots of pretty pale pinks, lace accents and seasonal touches. This clever couple did things their own way, choosing to keep their stunning celebration simple and hassle free, letting their gorgeous venue and floral accents speak for themselves. Beautifully done.
With images by Jill Thorning-Jensen.
Katie says: Guy proposed on the first day of our ski holiday in Zermatt in February 2013, and we were married on 21st December 2013 (I was not the most patient of brides)!
We were married at St Mary's Church in Whitewell, Shropshire followed by a reception at Iscoyd Park.
We looked at a number of venues around Cheshire and Shropshire, but fell in love with Iscoyd. The house and grounds are absolutely stunning – like no other venue we had seen. To add to that, Phil and the team at Iscoyd were so warm and friendly that we felt very comfortable that they would help make the day special.
I stayed at Willington Lodge the night before the wedding, a gorgeous local B&B with delightful hosts.
As the wedding was so close to Christmas we had a few festive touches (Christmas trees outside the church, and reindeer table names). The bridesmaids looked gorgeous in dark navy and the flowers were lilacy pinks with eucalyptus and dark navy berries to add a wintery feel.
I was determined that the wedding was going to be a stress-free event, so we purposefully kept any additions to a minimum. Instead we chose a beautiful venue (which needed no 'extras'), with lots of lovely food and drink and a fantastic band who had everyone up and dancing.
I tried on lots of dresses at the gorgeous Love Bridal Boutique in Altrincham, and chose an Intuzuri dress which I wore with a cathedral veil.
The groom wore a Reiss suit and the groomsmen wore their own navy suits. All had knitted navy ties which matched the groom's knitted navy bow tie.
The adult bridesmaids wore three quarter sleeve black tops with beautiful navy skirts designed and made by one of my bridesmaids and her exceptionally talented mum. The little bridesmaids wore ivory dresses from John Lewis.
Hair was by Louise Huxley (and her mum!) and makeup was by Melanie Poutney. We were very lucky to find a group of amazing people to help with the wedding, all of whom were a pleasure to have around on the day.
Selina Godsal did all the flowers for us. My bouquet was blush pink and cream roses, eucalyptus, a thistle (to match Guy's buttonhole) and catkins.
We chose a vintage cream taxi from Manor Bridal Cars. Not only was the taxi a great choice for the December weather, it also made my Mum smile – she had been very concerned that I hadn't booked a car until the last minute and we would end up having to get a taxi to the church!
The whole day was fabulous, but I think one of the most special parts was being in church. Seeing Guy waiting at the front looking so handsome was just lovely, and to be surrounded by all of our family and friends took my breath away.
Our cake was made by Caroline Black. We had three separate tiers (fruit, chocolate and ginger) and all of it was eaten by the end of the night! Other catering was by The Fine Dining Company.
In the evening we had a band, The Badcats, who were fab and had everyone dancing.
For our honeymoon we spent three weeks touring around Australia, seeing as much as possible and enjoying the sunshine.
For me, my top tip for other Brides Up North would be don't try to do too much. There is an awful lot to organise just concentrating on the basics, without adding in chocolate fountains and all the other extras. Being calm in the run up to the wedding meant that we could relax and enjoy every minute of the run up and the big day.
Congratulations Katie & Guy!

We're off to the seaside (well it's been the weather for it lately hasn't it?!) to celebrate the big day of Kelly and Irvine in Newton By The Sea, Northumberland. First featured here back in May, our lovely couple didn't let a winter wedding date stand in the way of using a pretty coral colour scheme or posing for some stunning portrait shots by the shore – to devastatingly beautiful effect. I love.
With images by Brides Up North Featured Supplier, Helen Russell Photography.
Kelly says: We got engaged in August 2012 in Rome. Irvine took me away for my 30th birthday and proposed at the Trevi Fountain. I had no idea, we had had a lovely evening out with a meal and drinks and on the way back we stopped to see the famous landmark. He gave me a coin to throw in and make a wish and when I turned back around Irvine was down on one knee asking me to marry him.
We were married on Saturday 9th November 2013 at the stunning Newton Hall, Newton by the Sea in Northumberland.
Originally we thought about getting married overseas but decided to view Newton Hall amongst a few other venues after seeing it advertised in a local magazine. As soon as we saw it we fell in love with its interior and exterior surroundings. Newton Hall is very close to the beach and we decided we wanted to have our wedding photographs taken there as it is so beautiful and unspoilt.
We opted for a very country vintage look with coral pink and navy blue with accents of lace and hessian.
My dress was a ivory fishtail lace gown by Martina Liana from Accent Bridal in Newcastle. I knew that I wanted lace but was not sure which style of dress to go for. I tried on about 10 or 12 dresses in various bridal shops throughout the city and didn't 'love' any of the them. Accent was one of the last places I went to and my dress was chosen for me to try on by the shop owner herself after discussing what I wanted. As soon as I put it on I felt like a 'bride' and although it was over budget I knew I had to have it!
My headpiece was custom made by Leigh Hetherington.
Irvine & his best man wore a suit from Reiss and my two bridesmaids wore navy blue dresses by twobirds purchased at Y.A.P Bridal in Newcastle.
My favourite moment was when I was walked down the aisle by my dad to Jose Gonzalez 'Heartbeats' and first caught a glimpse of my husband to be!
My 'old and borrowed' was my great nana Lucy's vintage marcasite necklace which she bought with her first wage packet when working as a seamstress in the 1920′s.
I carried a beautiful bouquet of pink ranunculus and coral coloured vevezula roses accented with brunei, veronica and eucalyptus by Secret Garden Florist in Jesmond,
Irvine loved spending time together on the beach just the two of us having our wedding photos taken by Helen Russell Photography.
Our decor was by The Finishing Touch Company and our stationery by Eaton Stationery.
We chose a three tier chocolate, vanilla and fruit cake which was made by The Designer Cake Company. It was like a work of art and tasted lovely too!
For our honeymoon we travelled to New York for five days then on to Miami and the Florida Keys for a further week.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be that the day itself goes so fast so keep stopping for a minute or two just the two of you to take it all in. Enjoy every minute!
Congratulations Kelly & Irvine!

Its holiday season here on the blog, and as the editorial team take a break to redesign, review and recharge, we'll be leaving you with a reduced blogging schedule so that you still get your daily dose of wedding lovely.
Usual service will recommence on Monday 7th July 2014, but in the meantime watch out for recaps of our favourite Real Weddings so far this year.

I loved every moment of putting together Vicky & Paul's Real Wedding feature back in February this year. You see, the bride and I go way back, as I used to go out with her lovely brother Neil at University. Although it didn't work out for us (and Neil is now happily married himself to a gorgeous lady!) I'm glad to say that we still keep in touch, and that it did work out ever so well for Neil's little sister Vicky and one of our Uni mates, Paul.
Knowing Vicky, I knew her wedding celebration was going to be big, colourful and offbeat… and couldn't wait to see her submission. I was exactly right: Vicky and Paul's wedding was a fabulous day full of feeling, personality, beauty and fun.
Bravo Mrs Hough!
With images by Andy Gaines.
Vicky says: Paul and I first met when I went to visit my brother Neil at University in 2003. We got together four years later in early 2007 after meeting up again and Paul plucked up the courage to ask my brother if he could go out with me!
Paul and I aren't a very traditional couple and I suppose it follows that our engagement wasn't either. One evening out of the blue and in the run up to our five year anniversary, Paul asked me to go online and pick out what my ideal engagement ring would look like. The task itself was easy as like many other girlfriends, I'd been looking at rings for months but this was the first time he'd ever uttered the 'E' word and I was beside myself with excitement. The fact, however, that it was a vintage ring not available to buy immediately online was something Paul was not prepared for. His solution was to take me to London to spend a day trying on diamond rings… it was tough, but I accepted the challenge! By a stroke of luck the exact ring I'd seen online was still there and after purchasing I was one happy bunny. However we still weren't actually engaged yet so back it went into the box.
About a week later, we were getting ready to go out and I was running spectacularly late. Running downstairs with fluffy hair and makeup half on, I noticed that our song was playing, and as I turned the corner into the lounge, Paul was there on one knee. Paul has never been one for grand romantic gestures, and you know what, getting engaged in our little house, listening to our song, with just the two of us, was perfect
Our wedding day was the day of the deluge – 6th September 2013. After decorating the hall in temperatures pushing 30 degrees on the Thursday, my heart sunk when I woke to a total downpour and grey skies on our wedding day. However, once the day got into full flow, the rain added a comedy element (watching people running under the cover of umbrellas), a dramatic element (fabulously moody skies in our photos) and ultimately created a fantastic cosy, party atmosphere for the meal and evening dancing. Plus as my friend texted me 'Better that 2 beautiful people get married in the rain, than 2 mingers get married in the sun' – brilliant!
We chose to say "I do" at a beautifully refurbished old barn at East Riddlesden Hall, Yorkshire.
I'm a country lass, growing up in the wilds of Norfolk and I desperately wanted to get married in somewhere I felt had that element of the countryside. Now finding a barn in Norfolk would have pretty easy but our hearts were set on getting wed in the county we had met and begun our lives together. Despite its proximity to the Dales, there are few barns to choose from in reach of Leeds, so we weren't sure what we'd find at East Riddlesden Hall. Our first trip there was a gloriously sunny day and the place combined a sense of rural beauty and aged grandeur. Emma, who is the wedding planner was so helpful and relaxed, taking on board all our ideas and answering our questions. It is pretty fair to say that we were smitten as soon as we entered the barn. Even undecorated, the place looks stunning; with exposed beams, flagstone floors and whitewashed walls dotted with tiny windows. As a keen crafty-type, the thought of such a beautiful blank canvas to work on was a dream come true. The venue is also run by the National Trust and the thought that we were investing in the future of such a beautiful place was the icing on the cake.
It must be said that the staff at ERH are brilliant and they have put so much work into making this a fantastic wedding venue. Particular thanks go to Emma and Sam who were on hand to chauffeur people and perform emergency cake decorating duties. The in-house bar run by ERH served a great selection of drinks, including locally brewed beers, much to my husband's delight. Having such dedicated staff all working tirelessly, made a huge difference to the day.
I began by actively rebelling against having a theme as I am, by nature, unable to decide on any one thing (except for a husband of course). Our wedding motto was 'good music, good food and good times'. I knew I didn't want anything matchy-matchy (I always think that allowing things to be a little rough round the edges means you can be a bit more flexible!). Plus as we decided to get married in a beautiful old barn, anything too polished would have looked out of place. We just wanted ourselves and our guests to feel relaxed, included and have an awesome time.
As time went on and my Pinterest account bulged with pictures that had caught my eye, I realised that bright colours and handmade details kept appearing in my selections. I decided that whilst I wouldn't outlaw any particular colours, I would focus on blues, purples, white and add touches of gold (if only to force me in making decisions on decorations). I have always been obsessed by peacock feathers so they played a big role in tying decorations together too.
The glamorous and very lovely Anna Stephenson was a joy to have doing my hair and makeup. We spent the entire trial run chatting and laughing and the final look was exactly as I wanted. Anna and Lucy turned up early and were so flexible with how we wanted to organise the morning, it put me at ease and I absolutely loved the whole getting ready part of the day. Despite a lot of dancing and a bit of limboing, both hair and makeup stayed put the entire day.
The dress! Such a big decision! And one I made in a single day! I spent hours, nay days, looking at dresses – shapes, lengths, decorations, straps – the choice is bewildering and I had absolutely no idea what I wanted. Facing this uncertainty, I decided to leave my first wedding dress shop until my mum could accompany me. Now one of my mum's best qualities is that she wears her heart on her sleeve. After 14 dresses, none of them were meeting with much excitement. That is until I tried on an ivory crinkle chiffon, one strap, corset dress with sweetheart neckline at Confetti and Lace in Stanningley. After looking in the mirror and deciding I really quite liked this one, I looked up at Mum who had tears rolling down her face. Either I looked bloody awful and she was in despair, or it was 'the one'. Luckily after a few moments I established it was the latter and I bought it on the spot. The women at Confetti and Lace were fantastic and helped me alter the dress by removing all crystal detailing and the strap, so the individualist in me is quite proud to say my dress is a one off.
With such a clean cut dress, the detailing in my outfit came from a fascinator I made with blue, purple and white flowers decorated with pearls. My shoes were bright blue vintage style sling backs from Rocket Dog. For my jewellery, I decided to wear a gold chain with my grandmothers' wedding rings hung on it, so I could feel like they were part of the day. As a wedding gift, Mum also gave me a gold heart locket that had belonged to my grandmother who had worn it almost every day. I felt a strange mix of sadness and pride, and the fact the Mum was giving it to me was very, very, special indeed.
Paul wore a gorgeous bright blue fitted 3-piece suit from Reiss with brown brogues from Hudson. I may be biased but I thought he looked pretty damn handsome.
I wanted my bridesmaids to feel comfortable and glamorous so opted for navy blue 1940s style dresses from Phase Eight. I then bought them some amazing chunky necklaces from Ashley at TheEnchantedOwl on Etsy, sent all the way from Georgia, USA. The bright purple looped in the colours from the decorations and the girls all looked beautiful!
The groomsmen all wore grey 3-piece suits hired from Slaters. They were accessorised with purple ties, Hawaiian-print pocket squares and my homemade peacock feather buttonholes tied with navy blue ribbon.
I carried a beautiful mix of flowers by the ever so lovely Lynne of Stems Design. Deep pink Celoxia, bright blue Nigella, light pink astilbe, Blue Veronica, Scabious, Blue Wax, Cornflower, various grasses, tiny succulents and of course, peacock feathers. Lynne was a joy to work with, so enthusiastic and full of ideas – the final result was stunning.
I was originally planning on going down in a taxi with my bridesmaids but my Dad took an uncharacteristic step in intervening. He said that he would arrange my transport but refused to reveal what it would be. I had nightmarish visions of going side-saddle on a horse or riding pillion on a quadbike. As it turns out, my Dad and Brother, Neil (who was also our best man) had spent the previous night decorating Neil's car with white ribbons, stashing a bottle of champagne in the back seat and recording an eclectic pre-wedding message and playlist. Little did I imagine that the last song I would hear before I entered the world of marriage would be Gangnam Style!
It was a very special time to have with Dad, who drove us. He was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the year and I am fiercely proud of how he dealt with it with humour and love, having a precious few minutes talking and laughing with just the two of us was very important to me.
Wedding readings were really hard to decide on – we wanted to strike a balance between celebratory, real and emotional but absolutely not smush. After much searching we opted for the lyrics from Noah and the Whale's 'Give a Little Love' and an extract from 'The Game'. There were many chins a quiver by the end – it really was a memorable moment.
Special thanks must go to Geoff, our fantastic registrar from Keighley Council. He completely put us at ease, conducted the ceremony with heart and humour.
Paul and I are super foodies, not in the foams and micro-herb type of way but in the yummy, fill-you-up type of way. With this in mind, the food at our wedding was pretty important and the fine fayre served up by the people at GFS Catering was exceptionally good. Goat's cheese tarts for starters, Lamb shanks and mash for mains and chocolate profiteroles for pudding were all delicious crowd-pleasers. An evening buffet of sausage baps and halloumi pittas served to mop up some of the great selection of drinks also served up by GFS with the help of the brilliant Martinez Wines in Ilkley. Special thanks to Alex from GFS who was such a great help on the day, finding alternatives to unknown food allergies and making sure each course flowed into the next seamlessly.
Cake wasn't high on our priorities so we used up some vouchers and opted for three layers of M&S loveliness. I then decorated with homemade flower crown and mini glitter bunting. All in all a pretty little cake which cost us less than £10! In the end I'm glad we didn't spend loads on the cake, because by the time it came to try it, it had all gone!
Andy Gaines, our photographer, was the very first wedding-related enquiry I made, even before we had a date or a venue. His photographs are stunning. They have this gritty yet ethereal quality that I find fascinating. Plus Andy himself is a blooming lovely chap – so welcoming, unobtrusive and damn talented. Andy worked like a ninja-trooper on our wedding day, capturing shots whilst keeping out of the way and staying from morning 'til way past everyone's bedtimes in order to capture our day. Everyone has commented on how awesome the pictures are, with even my normally-bored-silly-by-photos Dad confessing and I quote, 'Fantastic photos – absolutely brill. Can't wait to see the rest!'. Andy's gone from strength to strength in the two years we've known him and it's not hard to see why.
We employed the fantastic talents of Rachel from Simply Vintage to help us decorate the huge space. Rachel strung a plethora of fairy lights, colourful pom poms with peacock feathers and white lace bunting across the beams. I then decided to make a lot of the decorations myself, including props for the tables, peacock name places and adding little splashes of our personalities across the barn, including photographs of my grandparents on their wedding days. I think however, the biggest and most complex decoration was our sequin LOVE sign. This beast was lovingly crafted out of gold sprayed MDF letters and sequins individually nailed on. It took a hell of a lot of work but looked pretty darn good strung up on the barn beams and glistening in the fairy lights.
Without a doubt the speeches was my favourite part of the day. 2013 was a tough year having had both my Dad and Paul's Mum diagnosed with cancer within a couple of months of each other. Dad's speech was emotional – not only because of what we were going through at the time but because it reaffirmed just how much I owe to my fantastic family. He laughed about my unrivalled ability to be untidy, spoke about the time I drew a picture of him stark naked much to the disapproval of my nursery teachers (but to the hilarity of my parents!) and how he was so proud of me despite having no idea what my job title actually means.
Paul's speech talked of how he did the unthinkable and asked out his best friend's sister, how darn well it had all worked out and even how despite his hatred of clichés, he thought we were made for each other!
Then it was the turn of my older brother Neil to give the best man's speech. I wondered if he might take this opportunity for the ultimate teasing of his little sister but I needn't have worried as he mostly concentrated on his best friend and long-time drinking partner, my husband! Superbly written and with touches of comic brilliance, it was the ultimate tribute to Paul and I being both deeply personal and evoking fantastic memories. I will always be thankful to him for the effort he put into the speech. Oh and not to forget our wedding present – a canvas featuring our Back to Future drinking game– rather nattily named by myself as 'Flux Incapacitated' – I thank you!
Music is big in our house, so we always knew it would feature a lot in the wedding. We employed the gorgeous sounds of the Northern String Quartet for the ceremony, playing a mixture of old and new for the waiting guests. I walked down the aisle to 'Here Comes the Sun' which was just gorgeous. During the signing were the sublime 'One Day like this', God only knows', and 'All you need is Love'. Then I entered the world as Mrs Hough to sounds of 'Hoppipolla' which was such an uplifting way to end the ceremony.
For the evening, we had the brilliant City Lights who blew our socks off with a great mix of modern tunes and some classic floor fillers, kicking off the set with a stonking rendition of 'Got my mind set on you' by George Harrison.
The evening celebrations were added to by some unorthodox entertainment in the form of glow sticks. What was an off the cuff purchase reminiscent of my raving days, became the biggest success of the day. Never did I think I'd witness friends of my parents fighting over who would get the glow bunny ears! The glow stick limbo was a total stroke of genius and made for some memorable photos!
We decided to delay our honeymoon both because we had no money left and the weather in Thailand is much better at this time of the year. So in but a few weeks time, we'll be heading off to Thai cities and shorelines.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be to decide where you want to focus your efforts and your money – for us it was the look and feel of the venue, excellent food and awesome music. Wedding preparation is hard so don't spread yourself too thin by trying to do too much. I absolutely adored being engaged and putting my heart and soul into planning our wedding day and I'm so glad we had the time to enjoy it all.
Congratulations Vicky & Paul!

I love couples that think outside the box, so when I saw Will and Stacey's quirky Save the Date video I just knew the wedding would be equally impressive and individual – and I wasn't wrong.
Stacey and Will's Save the Date from Will Roberts on Vimeo.
A traditional church wedding was followed by a fabulous reception at the picturesque Easby Hall in North Yorkshire.
Both Will and Stacey put a lot of thought into the day to include personal touches in honour of friends and family, both past and present.
The stylish couple paid particular attention to their wedding attire with Stacey having a vintage-style bespoke dress designed and made by the hugely talented Kate Beaumont. Meanwhile, dapper Will shunned a traditional Prince Edward suit or top and tails in place of a brown Hugo Boss suit, complete with tweed waistcoat, pocket watch and purple socks.

Will says: We got engaged while we were travelling in Latin America – Argentinian Patagonia to be more precise. I obviously didn't have ring in South America, however I did have one in mind.
Before my Mum died in 2010 she asked me to use my paternal Grandmother's engagement ring. My middle name is Howel – the name of my paternal grandfather – so my Mum thought it would be nice for another Howel to propose with it. When we returned to the UK in 2012 we got the ring-resized and tidied up, using Werk in York.
Our wedding date was September 21st 2013. We wanted either an autumn or spring wedding and didn't want to wait until spring 2014. We also had to make sure the date didn't clash with my siblings' weddings – my brother David got married in June 2013 and my sister Mary got married August 2013.
We got married in St Agatha's Church, Easby, near Richmond, North Yorkshire, and had the reception at Easby Hall – a very short walk from the church. We wanted a small wedding of 50 to 60 guests and Easby was the perfect size. We also loved having such a beautiful church right next door. It was also only 15 minutes away from Barnard Castle, where Stacey's family live and where we both went to school. Easby Hall had never hosted a wedding before – we were the first after they got planning permission, which they only received three months before our wedding. This meant we had to essentially plan the wedding in three months but it also meant the hall was free on the date we wanted it.
Easby also had a sentimental connection as Easby Abbey and St Agatha's church was one of the last places my Mum visited before she passed away.

Don't you just hate it when your best efforts are completely frustrated?! I've just spent two full days "on the road" as part of a series of speaking engagements at the workshops of some seriously talented professionals, and whilst I've been so, so inspired to send time shooting ideas around with some fabulous creatives – and extremely honoured to be invited to take part (more on this later) – my Wi-Fi cover has been a little less than satisfactory. I hope you'll bear with me as we get to some of the features that were actually meant to hit these pretty pages a little earlier this week. It's catch up time, ladies.
Lansky, £189
Last week, back when life was a little less hectic, I actually got to spend a little time out of the office (and out of the car!) hitting up the High Street and checking out the new collections. Can I get a whoop whoop?! All in the name of research, you understand.
First stop: Reiss.
I'll be honest. Whilst Reiss used to be my go-to treat yourself on payday staple, I've found it's latest few seasons to be a little lack lustre. At the top end of my high street spend, I wanted a little more brilliance for my buck.
Well, hello! This season, Reiss is back on track.
Ibiza, £179
And guess what? There's loads of flirty little dresses that would be just perfect for all those bridal occasions in the run up to and surrounding a wedding (the ones where you're not actually rocking the main frock). Think classy hen party, rehearsal dinner, going away dress or some seriously grateful bridesmaids.
Go to work ladies!

Aragon, £169
Larkies, £195
All prices were correct when going to press.

This sunny March morning we join Alix & Ed for their classic springtime wedding in the beautiful Ribble Valley. With fresh details and seasonal blooms, let's celebrate the new season!
With images by Philip Bamber Photography.
Alix says: Ed asked me to marry him in January 2012 – on the beach on an amazing holiday in Mexico. We set the date for 27th March 2013.
We chose to say "I do" at Eaves Hall in the Ribble Valley countryside. We fell in love with Eaves Hall whilst visiting for one of their wedding fairs. The sweeping driveway which leads up to the country house and the magnificent gardens is an incredible sight. Inside was just as impressive!
We wanted a classic wedding. It was Easter weekend so we made use of the spring colours and seasonal flowers, and accented this with a pale pink and ivory colour base.
I chose to wear Adorae Rose by Maggie Sottero in ivory and I carried a beautiful bouquet of cream and pink roses.
The girls wore Dessy bridesmaid dresses in three different styles in Rose. Ed wore a three piece suit from Reiss and the groomsman wore their own blue suits.
My bridesmaids and I travelled to the venue in a white Rolls Royce Silver Cloud by Broughton Wedding Cars.
Walking down the aisle to my future husband and saying our vows was the most special part of the day. Partying with all our friends and family too! It wouldn't have been the same without them all there to help us celebrate!
The brilliant Simply String Trio played before and after the ceremony. A great friend, Andrew Barton, sang and played the guitar as we signed the registrar making the moment even more special and personal.
We chose to use Philip Bamber – a great photographer! He was very friendly and happy for us to choose what type of shots we wanted. Neither of us were that comfortable in front of the camera but Phil really helped!

Its holiday season here on the blog, and as the team take a break until to rest and recharge for what's set to be the biggest and best year yet at Brides Up North HQ, we'll be leaving you with a reduced blogging schedule so that you still get your daily dose of wedding pretty.
Usual service will recommence on 2nd January 2014, but in the meantime watch out for recaps of our favourite Real Weddings in 2013. Drop in every day for the very, very prettiest wedding inspiration and if you are a Brides Up North bride, to see if your Real Wedding was one of our top picks.
I love every Real Wedding that is featured here on the wedding blog, but now and again a special celebration comes along that really knocks my socks off. This, my friends, is one of those weddings.
I don't know if its the personalised photograph name places (how long must that have taken?), the pretty table decor, the bride's beautiful twisty updo, those dancing Choos, or the fact that you can feel the happiness radiating out of the screen this morning, but Ali and Will's big day at Styal Lodge in Cheshire really does it for me. I hope you enjoy our recap.
Images by Emma Boileau Photography.
Ali says: We got engaged in November 2011. Will took me to Sheffield for the weekend of our 9 year anniversary. We met whilst at University in Sheffield at the Leadmill. He proposed as close as he could get to the spot where we first met (unfortunately the club was closed that night)!
We got married on the 11th May 2013 at Styal Lodge. We had both the ceremony and reception at the lodge. We looked at a few venues and as soon as we saw Styal Lodge, we fell in love with it. It is such an amazing venue and the family who run it are lovely.
I wanted it to be pretty with a vintage feel.
I did not really have a colour scheme until we got the bridesmaid dresses. They wore navy so we chose purples, blues and white.
My dress was Nicole Anne from Timeless Bride in Poynton. I had an idea of what I wanted and as soon as I tried it on I knew it was 'the one'. Michelle at Timeless Bride was fantastic and really helpful during the whole process. My hair clip was from Sash and Co . The shoes were from Jimmy Choo. I am really into shoes and I as soon as I saw them, I fell in love!
My hair was done by Paisley Gamble at Macleod Bradley and make up by Gemma Hallowell. They were both fantastic and I could not recommend them more.
My bridesmaids wore two different designs by Alfred Sung, Dessy. We got them from Alison Burgess Couture in Stockport. They all wore different coloured shoes including nude, pink and red. The flower girl wore a very cute dress from Monsoon. Will wore a blue three piece from Reiss and all the other men in the bridal party wore their own suits, blue ties and white rose corsages.
We had a Humanist wedding and Hannah Wroe Gill was our celebrant. She was fantastic and so supportive. She put together a personal wedding script which really reflected us.
The whole day was amazing but one of my favourite parts was the ceremony. I loved the readings and hearing a well wishing at the end from our friends and family was really special. We also loved the evening do when all the formalities were over and everyone had a great big party!
I spent a long time researching wedding photographers and this was a really important part of the day for me. We really love the photos Emma has taken and she captured the whole day perfectly. She was amazing on the day and made us feel really relaxed. Emma went beyond our expectations and also stayed later into the night and got some funny photos of the evening do. These are some of our favourites from the day!
My bouquet was made up of blue and purple dyed roses with cala lilies and white freesia. The bridesmaids carried lilac and ivory roses with lilac freesia and fresh foliage.
We used Special Days for flowers and dressing the lodge. They did a brilliant job. I knew I wanted a rustic vintage feel to the flowers. Myself and the bridesmaids decorated old jam jars with lace and fabric which added a homemade touch to the day. Special days also sourced lots of different milk jugs, tea lights, vases and pieces of wood for the tables. Each table had its own feel. I was quite emotional when I saw the room for the first time; they had captured my vision for the day perfectly.
Our caterers were Pink Pepper. As soon as booked them, we knew we were in for something special. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the meal was. I also love the vintage crockery they provide.
We did put a lot of work into the little touches and I would recommend to brides and grooms to start early as we were finishing projects the day before which was quite stressful! One idea was we got photos of each guest for their place name at the table and Will's dad made 100 wooden photo holders. It took some time but the guests loved them and it was well worth the effort! Another nice feature of the day was we got a Polaroid camera, some cardboard props and a board for guests to pin up photos and write messages on. It worked really well and we got some fun keepsakes from the wedding.
For our wedding favours, we had shots of Sambuca. This was a great way of ending the meal and starting off the evening reception!
Rather than one wedding cake, we decided to have a cake table. Our lovely friends and family all pitched in to make a great spread for the day including Guinness cake, fruit and chocolate cakes and banoffee and blueberry cupcakes.
We had Bob the DJ for the evening reception. We did not want a clichéd wedding DJ and Bob came recommended by the lodge. He was great; played the songs we wanted and kept everyone dancing.
We are off to Indonesia on our honeymoon in a few weeks.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be to focus on what's important and try not be too influenced by other people's ideas. It can get quite overwhelming at times but go with what feels right for you. Also just enjoy the day as it does just so fast!
Congratulations Ali & Will!

Today's stunning Real Wedding proves that a celebration jam packed with handmade touches and DIY details needn't look amateur. Kirsty and Tom managed to pull of a gorgeously elegant big day whilst still retaining that personal touch. Be inspired, as we join them for their elegant wedding day in the Lake District.
With images by Lissa Alexandra Photography.
Kirsty says: Tom and I got engaged on 28th October 2011 in New York City and were married on 13th April 2013 at Our Lady of the Wayside, Grasmere with an evening reception at Merewood Country House, Windermere.
We loved our venue from the moment we walked in. We always wanted a country house, with lots of character, where family and friends could stay for the weekend. The Merewood was perfect. Our wedding had a vintage theme inspired by the character of the the property, and a colour scheme of dusky lilac and ivory.
I wore a thick lace, fishtail Ronald Joyce wedding dress with beautiful detailing to the back. Tom chose a traditional black Reiss suit, with a bow tie.
The bridesmaids wore long dusky lilac dresses with a pearl detail necklace and our groomsmen wore traditional black suits accessorised with a grey tweed tie and pocket square.
We genuinely enjoyed every second of our wedding day. If I had to pick one moment it would be walking down the aisle and seeing each other for the first time surrounded by all our family and friends.
Our photographer was the amazing Lissa Alexandra who captured every moment perfectly.
I carried a large bouquet of cream roses tied with lace and the bridesmaids had smaller versions. Tom, the best man and ushers wore a single cream rose to keep it simplistic. At the venue, we had vintage birdcages filled with a lilac, cream and sage flower arrangement.
All our flowers were by Julie Sharrock.
We travelled in a white Rolls Royce Wraith to fit with the vintage theme.
We had a string trio playing in the church and then our evening wedding singer was Phil Fryer of Just To Be Frank who is a Frank Sinatra tribute followed by DJ Ken Harper.
Tom and I love to be creative and really enjoyed making all the personalised touches for our wedding.
We had framed photographs of both of our parents on their wedding day, with a thank you poem on display in the hotel reception. We also had two frames with a personalised 'He' and 'she' description for each other and a vintage typewriter for people to write us well wishes and words of advice for the guest book.
We bought a polaroid camera and made a vintage pin board for people to capture their own moments which we now have hung up in our hallway.
We handmade tea cup candles for every table (which was a lovely touch when they were lit in the evening) and hand painted table frame numbers and made all the stationery ourselves including our menu and order of service.
We handmade chocolate moustache and lips with a personalised tag for the wedding favours which our nephews handed round to everyone following the wedding breakfast. This created lots of laughs.
Our wedding cake was a three tier classic Victoria sponge cake decorated with real cream rose flowers.This was made at Patisserie Viennoise of Otley, West Yorkshire.
After the wedding we jetted off to Rome on honeymoon.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be to make your wedding personal to the both of you, and enjoy every second of it.
Congratulations Kirsty & Tom!

Today we join Brides Up North reader Hannah and her new husband Andy as they celebrate their English country wedding at one of my very favourite West Yorkshire wedding venues: Nostell Priory.
When styling her big day, Hannah kept things on the right side of girly by choosing garden green as a base colour. The muted tone set off her pretty detailing to great effect and brought the outdoors in.
Now pass me a Pimms pronto, would you?!
With images by Created By Karl Photography.
Hannah says: We went on a romantic weekend away in York in August 2010… Andy's proposal was somewhat 'underprepared' (he didn't have a ring!). He was initially going to propose in a restaurant on the Saturday evening and chickened out… so he decided to ask me on the Sunday morning! After a few days we found my dream engagement ring at Green and Benz in Sheffield and then Andy proposed again outside Sheffield City Hall!
We were married on 25th May 2013 at St Michael & Our Lady Church, with the reception at Nostell Priory. Nostell Priory – run by Dine – is a stunning venue and location, after visiting once we knew it was the perfect venue for us… even though it was covered in scaffolding as it was going through a huge renovation when we booked back in 2010!
Our theme was a pretty, English garden classic wedding with a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We chose a colour scheme of blush pink and olive green, with the men in grey.
I chose a Jonathan James Couture fishtail gown from the wonderful ladies at Choola in Sheffield, my veil was Amanda Wyatt and then a flower headpiece from Ivory & Co. My shoes were Lou Lou Low from Harriet Wilde.
My bridesmaids wore olive green twobirds gowns from Emily Bridal in Sheffield. Our flowergirl dresses were designed and made by Sarah at Marla Design and Andy's groomsmen's outfits were from Sensational Formal Hire in Barnsley. Andy's suit was from Reiss.
Our lovely flowers were from Emily at BlossEm, we opted for peonies, dill, rosemary, hydrangea, sweet avalanche roses and sweet peas.
My favourite moment has to be either saying our vows in Church, or celebrating the day with our close family and friends.
My Mum and I travelled in a Beauford convertible and my maids accompanied us in an Imperial. Andy and his best men travelled in a Chrysler 300C from Cartwright's Cars and the guests by vintage bus from The Yorkshire Heritage Bus Company.
Our Magician Mark Waddington was a real highlight – and so were the band (The Barsteward Sons of Val Doonican – who feature the groom on guitar)! Other lovely, personal touches were our Sweetie Buffet, the handmade signs, the wedding favours (wooden personalised hearts), the lottery tickets (for the draw on our wedding night), and the handmade wedding stationery courtesy of the Andy's Mum!
Steph Shaw sang and played for our guests during the drinks reception, and Andy's band got the party started in the evening! We also had a fabulous photo booth courtesy of Created by Karl Photography (Stancliffe Studios).
We went for a three-tier cake made up of fruit, chocolate and sponge cake from a close friend of ours, Libby at Cakes By Libby.
After the wedding we went on honeymoon to Kruger National Park in South Africa then on to Mauritius.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be that you only get one shot at it (hopefully!) so enjoy it, make sure it's special for you both, that it is everything you both want and don't get stressed… It'll all work out fine!
p.s. don't forget to spend time with your groom/ bride on the day!
Congratulations Hannah & Andy!

66 N. 6th St.
Brooklyn, NY 11211
Category: Music Venues
Region: Brooklyn
This Baltimore duo started out along a nominally folkier path but lately have been at their strongest when they hit harder, since all those drums and guitars can quickly clear a path for a tender Beth Gibbons wail or a clever Belle & Sebastian melodic trick. Last year's "Civilian" sounds like a grown-up version of the indie-pop heartbreak chronicles of EMA, and in concert the thrilling title track should conjure up a storm of the highest order.

There's a hedge between Waxy O' Connor's and the busy 17th Street Causeway that serves to enclose a rollicking outdoor seating section, where pints of Guinness and Bass are consumed by hearty young men and women. Comfortable swinging tables, TV sets tuned to sports channels, and a diverse crowd of well-traveled yacht hands add up to a party for the senses. Inside, the dark-wood bar is considerably more quaint, though equally packed. Expats sit idly at the bar sipping beer, ready to dispense their worldly wisdom. Live rock bands move the throngs of Waxy-ites with upbeat covers. And for those looking for a relaxing night, the nook-like booths that line the wall provide intimate retreats. Happy hour is from 4 to 7 p.m.; that's when drink prices are reduced (though you don't get the usual half price).

Report: Fraud and deception at Satyam was deep
Summary: The fraud and deception at Satyam Computer Services in India was so in-depth that it included dual accounting books, thousands of forged invoices, thousands of unnecessary employees and dozens of fake bank statements, according to court records analyzed by the New York Times.Through the deception, managers, auditors and an adviser were able to create a perception that the company was "carrying out huge volumes of business" so it attract potential customers and investors, according to the NYT.
Through the deception, managers, auditors and an adviser were able to create a perception that the company was "carrying out huge volumes of business" so it attract potential customers and investors, according to the NYT. All the while, cash was flowing into the hands of those who architected the deception.
In January, Satyam co-founder B Ramalinga Raju resigned from the company - India's fourth largest outsourcing company - after admitting that this was an estimated $1 billion cash hole in the company's balance sheet. Within days, Raju's brother and company co-founder Rama Raju had been arrested, as well, and the company's full board of directors were let go.
In addition, the company's auditors are also facing charges. The Times, quoting from the court documents, reports:
The company's auditors, S. Gopala Krishnan and Srinivas Talluri, who have been suspended from PricewaterhouseCoopers, both received figures from Satyam's banks that were in "great variance with the figures provided by the management" but certified Satyam's accounts anyway, the bureau said. In return, the bureau claims, the auditors received an "exorbitant audit fee" over and above the market rate.
Earlier this month, Satyam was sold to Venturebay Consultants, a subsidiary of Indian outsourcing firm Tech Mahindra. Venturebay Consultamts will pay $352 million for new shares representing a 31 percent stake in Satyam. From there, Satyam will make a public offer to buy another 20 percent of shares to reach a 51 percent controlling stake.
