Inspired by the gallery room at Birdsall House, local photographer Hollie Horn set out with her team of local wedding professionals to create a shoot focused on bridal portraits and pastel florals. Due to the venue's innate grandeur they opted for paired back luxury with a large floral arch as the only decor.
Ria and Cavill met the modern way, on Tinder, towards the end of lockdown. “It wasn't exactly a fairy tale but it didn't stop us having a fairytale wedding!” Ria says. Or indeed the dream proposal, since Cavill got down on one knee and popped the question in The Maldives.
The couple said “I do” at Beverley Minster followed by celebrations at Rise Hall. Once they laid eyes on the latter, it was an easy decision. “The grounds, rooms and service immediately presented as impeccable,” Ria explains. “It was a stunning period property and beautifully grand. Plus, the team was so friendly, yet professional.” The final big box ticked for them was the locality of the venue, not to mention the fact they'd already had a great experience of what a wedding day here would be like having served as best man and bridesmaid at a loved one's big day at Rise Hall.
When couple David and Steven, who met via to keep guests going and carrying the Italian theme into Tinder back in 2017, set out on an Italian the night. adventure visiting Rome and Florence, David couldn't help but wonder whether Steven might pop the question. But, "Steven's not always one for an obvious cue," David tells us. On their last day, Steven, who unbeknownst to David had been carrying the ring in his pocket the entire trip waiting for the perfect spot, finally found his moment and dropped to one knee to propose.
The couple visited The Hospitium on a wedding open day. They'd long admired the building and, “As soon as we entered, we knew the hunt for a venue was over,” David shares. “It had everything we wanted, space, light, history, and gardens.” So, there was no hesitation in securing 11th July 2024, for the big day.
A wedding newspaper, just like real wedding couple Star and Ben's, is a great way to share your order-of-the-day. You can also add some fun facts from your love story, or a memorial page for those who can't be with you on the day but are there in spirit. They also make for a great memento of the day for your guests to take home for their keepsake boxes.

We've always known that country is cool, but the rest of the world caught on more recently with the cowboycore fashion trend taking hold thanks to music icons such as Beyoncé, Lana Del Ray and old school Taylor Swift. Even ride or die Harry Styles fans identify with the vibe having made cowboy hats a signature over the past couple of years. The bottom line is cowboy's cool and you know it!
Whether any of this has inspired you or you've fallen head-over heels for Kevin Costner's portrayal of John Dutton in Yellowstone, it may delight you to know that more and more are choosing to express their cowboy era though their wedding venue styling. We think it's 2025's boho chic!
With a wealth of barn venues throughout the region, this vibe is an absolute breeze to pull off since its roots lie in rustic, countryside elements. So, what are your easy-to-access, traditionally rustic elements that can work here? Think milk churns filled with florals, macrame hanging installations, hay bales, festoon lighting and mismatched wooden furniture. Then, sprinkle with a few motifs to elevate it to cowboycore luxe: horseshoes, neon signs, cowboy boots, horsebox bar, cartwheels, star-shaped paper lanterns mirroring the stars and stripes, and cactus favours or centrepieces, and you're away!
