October/November 2022

 
Hello lovely readers and welcome to another issue of Your East Midlands Wedding. If you’re new here, you’ve come to the right place as we cover everything from bridal boutiques, venues, make-up artists, photographers, florists and more! You’ll discover the latest trends, talented experts and plenty of showstopping inspiration.

For those at the end of their planning journey, we have top tips and advice to ensure your day runs smoothly as well as last-minute touches to create wow-factor events.

Weddings are such joyful occasions, and there’s nothing more special than marrying your soulmate. For those that have been reading the last few issues, you’ll know that my best friend tied the knot this summer and what an incredible day it was. As a bridesmaid, it has been such a special experience helping a dear friend plan such an important event. Watching everything come together on the day was very emotional. I’ll never forget that moment when I watched the bride make her grand entrance – I had to fight back the tears as I couldn’t ruin my make-up! The ceremony was beautiful, with many heartwarming words shared. Overall, we had a fantastic day with plenty of pampering, memorable moments, excellent food and great entertainment. I spent the entire evening living it up on the dancefloor – you should see the videos!

Planning a wedding might seem like a scary or overwhelming experience, but we’re here to guide you through the whole process from the moment you get engaged to the honeymoon. That’s all from me; now sit back, relax and celebrate anything and everything wedding.

Happy planning!

Dodmore House

Dodmoor House is a rustic and charming wedding venue made up of three elegant but rustic-stone barns, one for ceremonies, one for wedding breakfasts and the other for overnight stays. The rustic and charming interior features fresh and earthy tones plus plenty of character with original brickwork and beams throughout the spaces. Light fills the rooms in the summer and in the winter, the space is cosy with plenty of fairylights and candles.

Say “I do” in the Courtyard Barn, an intimate space that can accommodate 96 guests and features views over the courtyard. With ceiling beams, a stone floor and a wooden-pallet backdrop, it’s a beautiful space that guests will love. Or opt for the Catesby Barn, which can accommodate 58 people for more intimate ceremonies. The barn boasts high ceilings, fairylights, hanging candelabras and a mezzanine balcony. For those looking to exchange vows outside, say “I do” in the courtyard, the garden, behind the Catesby Barn, outside the main house or on the lawn.

Depending on where ceremonies are held, wedding breakfasts take place in one of the barns – usually the Catesby Barn. Each one has various table layouts for different capacities, so it’s always worth talking to the team for more information. The Catesby Barn is the perfect location for evening receptions; here couples will find the main bar and while the tables are cleared after the meal, nearlyweds can enjoy the early evening in the courtyard and the other spaces.

An overnight stay on the wedding night in the Honeymoon Suite is included within the venue’s hire fee and a continental breakfast is served the following day. The property hosts regular open evenings to allow couples and loved ones to visit the venue and see it in all its glory. Lovebirds can also meet a selection of recommended suppliers and sample canapés, drinks and sweet treats.

The team also offers a hire range of décor items such as table plans and help from a personal wedding coordinator to make the planning experience less stressful for couples.
