Editor's letter
I’m so excited to be taking over the reins here at Your Yorkshire Wedding magazine. I got married in summer, 2016 – I can’t believe how time flies – and now I get to continue my wedding love affair with you all.
Our day was wonderful; the glorious sunshine was matched by our very bright, tropical colour scheme. Although we started planning a very informal, chilled-out day it soon got out of hand and I wish we’d had some expert advice like we have in our Hot Topic feature on page 90.
Although we got married less than two years ago it doesn’t stop me from looking through our fabulous Real Weddings, starting on page 32, and asking myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Maybe we’ll have to plan a vow renewal to incorporate all these new ideas – better get saving!
For me, the best weddings are a true reflection of the bride and groom. Whether you’re an outdoorsy couple ready to pull your wellies on for a country garden vibe or, if getting hitched in one of the region’s extravagant stately homes is more your style, then you’ll find endless inspiration on these pages.
I can’t wait to share your journey, and when you wake up in the middle of the night in a pre-wedding panic just remember, it’ll all be worth it in the end! |

Gisborough Hall
Set against a backdrop of Guisborough Forest and the Cleveland Hills, this English country house provides a magical setting year-round. Blossom trees create natural confetti in spring, roses are in full bloom come summer, red ivy climbs the walls in autumn, and cosy log fires are lit during winter. The rose gardens and terrace provide gorgeous al fresco spaces for a drinks reception, while the rose arch and listed beech tree provide picture-perfect spots.
Inside, the four-star hotel combines modern-day luxury with traditional features. Ceremonies and receptions are held in three areas. The Madoc Suite hosts up to 220 attendees; with its sweeping staircase and twinkling chandeliers it’s full of ballroom elegance. The Conservatory overlooks the grounds and Cleveland Hills and creates the feeling of bringing the outside in. The Longhull Room is a more intimate space for up to 36 invitees to enjoy its picturesque views, stunning portraits and feature fireplace.
The happy couple will be treated to a four-poster bedroom for their first night
