Helen & Dave's Wedding


Helen & Dave were married at the amazing Langley Castle at the end of March. On the same date last year it was red hot, but that wasn't to be this year when it snowed as Helen & her bridesmaid Angela arrived at the castle. Luckily it brightened up for the drinks reception and photographs so we were able to make the most of the grounds.

Helen very kindly answered these questions for the blog:

Wedding date - 30th March 2013

Venue - Langley Castle

Dress - Dress was from Wedding Essentials in Newcastle, designed by Maggie Sottero

Accessories - Shoes were from Debenhams and jewellery was by one of my good friend's company Mrs M Handmade

Suits - Suits were from Waltons Menswear on Grainger Street in Newcastle

Which of your suppliers would you recommend to other couples? - Fern Florists for the flowers, they definitely understood our colours even when we were unable to explain what we wanted properly! Caroline at Mrs M Handmade for jewellery who allowed me to design my earrings myself and made sense of my rubbish drawings to create exactly what i wanted! Maureen at Wedding Chair Care who gave such personal service we really trusted she knew what she was doing, the quality of the covers were amazing and Diane at Cards By Di who did all our invitations and stationery, which were beautiful

Honeymoon - We had a month travelling around Australia, New Zealand and Dubai

Favourite memory from the day - Probably seeing everything come together, you have so many meetings with different people in the run up but you only ever see it all together the once, which makes all the hard work worth it. Also how seamless and effortless Langley Castle made the day, everything flowed together perfectly, so much so you didn't have to think or worry about anything, it all just happened perfectly

Advice to other couples - In the planning stages I would say trust your instincts with suppliers, and don't be scared to shop around to find someone you really trust and are happy to work with, remember you're paying them so they should do what you want not what's easiest for them. As far as the day goes I'm sure everyone says it but just relax and enjoy it because it really does fly over, take a few seconds every now and then to just to take it all in
