A Wonderful Small Wedding in Buxton

Even more spe­cial is the wed­ding I have to share with you today. Mark and Jag chose to have an inti­mate cel­e­bra­tion of their love with their clos­est fam­ily and friends. As today’s beau­ti­ful bride Jag says, this is…

“A won­der­ful, small wed­ding full of mem­o­ries shared with peo­ple who meant the most to the bride and groom (par­ents, grand­par­ents, sib­lings, best mates and that’s it). I wouldn’t have changed anything.”

It really is per­fect. I must say a huge thank you to the lovely Lucy from Lucy West Images for shar­ing her pho­tographs of Jag and Mark’s wed­ding in Bux­ton. It’s all about the love — a very spe­cial wed­ding day I’ve been look­ing for­ward to show­ing you!

An inti­mate wed­ding in Bux­ton — Mark and Jag

Jag wore an ivory Indian style dress, brought at a bridal bou­tique — the Phulkari Bou­tique based in Foleshill Road in Coven­try. The style of dress was ideal for the wed­ding, which was a cel­e­bra­tion of cul­tures. Jag dressed in tra­di­tional Indian bridal attire and Mark in a real Eng­lish gentleman’s suit from Slater’s Menswear, based in Man­ches­ter City Centre.

Jag’s bridal jew­ellery, shoes and acces­sories were all brought at var­i­ous Indian bou­tique shops based in Southall, Lon­don.

“We had a won­der­ful small wed­ding full of mem­o­ries shared with peo­ple who meant the most to the bride and groom (par­ents, grand­par­ents, sib­lings, best mates and that’s it). I wouldn’t have changed any­thing about my wed­ding. It was sim­ply per­fect such as the choice of venue, enter­tain­ment, food, atmos­phere, choice of sup­pli­ers, list is endless.

What I felt made my wed­ding spe­cial was adding the per­sonal touches, which every­one had noticed for all the hard work and details. What was lovely and refresh­ing was to hear the guests had a fun and yet relax­ing time at our wedding.

My sis­ter is a hard per­son to impress but she paid me the best com­pli­ment by say­ing that all wed­dings should fol­low sim­i­lar suit to mine, spend­ing qual­ity time and fun with those you love the most. I would have invited more if I could but I wanted to keep the wed­ding intimate.

It was an amaz­ing day, I wish I could relive it. How­ever, thanks to Lucy West (my pho­tog­ra­pher) the images she took in the nat­ural style I love help me to relive the mem­o­ries and emo­tions.

A spe­cial wed­ding day memory

Hav­ing a decent car­i­ca­tur­ist (www.magicalmemories.co.uk) do draw­ings of the bride, groom and guests was just a won­der­ful expe­ri­ence. I would def­i­nitely rec­om­mend it for small wed­dings. It brought the fam­ily together and every­one had a good gig­gle. What was lovely was that every guest could take away a draw­ing as a memento of our spe­cial day : )

Wed­ding advice from Jag

Organ­is­ing all day enter­tain­ment for a small party is actu­ally not as easy as you might think. You can’t get away with a disco for less than 20 peo­ple, it just wouldn’t feel right as it’s all about the atmosphere.

So with care­ful plan­ning and how you envi­sion the day to flow will help point out what you would like to expe­ri­ence at a small wed­ding. Thank­fully all my guests agreed with my style and choice of entertainment.

To sum­marise my wed­ding = Good fam­ily wed­ding fun!

Rec­om­mended wed­ding sup­pli­ers: Jag and Mark

Luck­ily all my sup­pli­ers were fantastic!

• The Old Hall Hotel Bux­ton- For hold­ing a small wed­ding within the North West, I can’t rec­om­mend enough this venue! I searched many venues and Old Hall was fab­u­lous in so many ways:
  • The set­ting, the won­der­ful park oppo­site the hotel. (The Pavil­ion Gar­dens in Bux­ton — your blog Edi­tor used to go on the lit­tle train ride in there with her Grandma, and feed the ducks!)
  • The amaz­ing food and wide range of food options on wed­ding menu.
  • The amaz­ing staff answer­ing my tire­less ques­tions with a cheer­ful manner.
  • In sim­ple words – Played a huge part in my wedding.
• Lucy West Pho­tog­ra­phy – She’s a great pho­tog­ra­pher, easy-going and her images cap­tured the moment. I have SO many amaz­ing pic­tures of my wed­ding, I can’t pick a favourite! She’s worth every penny as I can relive my mem­o­ries in the way I envi­sioned and it’s thanks to her and her team.
• www.magicalmemories.co.uk is an agent for artists which were able to assist and pro­vide me with a good car­i­ca­tur­ist at a rea­son­able price. Hav­ing the artist at our day was def­i­nitely memorable.
• www.pierfuncasinos.co.uk Karen & Peter from Pier Fun Casino pro­vided a classy Roulette table at a rea­son­able price. They also sup­plied per­son­alised chips & money fea­tur­ing Bride & Groom, which is a nice memento.
• www.alice-rose.co.uk best wed­ding cake ever! Cake was designed to fol­low the theme of my wed­ding (roses). Again rea­son­ably priced. Would highly rec­om­mend peo­ple take a sneak peek at her shop based on the high street in Glos­sop near the Peak Dis­trict. (face­book: Alice Rose Cakes)
• www.greenpavilion.co.uk Man­aged my amaz­ing flo­ral set-up and bou­quet. I was very par­tic­u­lar in the size and style of my flow­ers and bou­quet. Clare (shop owner and her team) based in Bux­ton didn’t let me down. What’s fan­tas­tic is that the florist is based only yards away from the Old Hall Hotel, which was reas­sur­ing in get­ting the flow­ers over quick and retain­ing their qual­ity. Highly rec­om­mend this florist
