Christine & Morgan

Real Wedding at The West Mill Venue, Derbyshire

Your Love Story?

We met when I moved in next door to Morgan 6 years ago and started dating 6 months later.  Morgan proposed while we were in Australia 21st December 2016 during an alfresco meal in the grounds of Airs rock (Uluru). He got down on one knee in front of other guests and when I said yes we were applauded!! Afterwards we walked through the field of lights.  

What was your inspiration and vision for your day?

To reflect as much as possible and industrial feel and our simple and chilled expectations of how a Wedding should be.  It was important to have my daughter as involved as possible as our best girl and to have our two pet dogs, Rufus and Dom there also, completing our family ❤️

Why did you choose The West Mill Venue?

Elegant, industrial, surroundings, all weather options.

Tell us about the details… 

Combination of succulent greenery highlighted by miss piggies and blue thistles, all put together in a slightly messy but symmetrical formation.  We chose our dresses one day in September 2017 and when I tried mine on it felt instantly right!!! It made me feel elegant and girlie!!! 

What was on the Menu?

Canapes & slate/bowl foods instead of a formal wedding breakfast followed in the evening by a cake of cheese with ploughman’s crackers breads and cheese

What was your favourite part of the wedding?

EVERYTHING 

Do you have any advice for future brides & grooms?

Don’t conform to others expectations- it’s your day and it’s a lot of preparation and you should get to enjoy it!!!
