Look what catches the eye of the editor with a special emphasis on local wedding businesses, shops and suppliers in Yorkshire.
“I offer all aspects of floristry from designs to ceremony and venue styling,” says BlossEm's Emily Davis. “My style is natural and romantic, as I work with the seasons and complement the surroundings of a wedding. From the initial meeting to delivery of your flowers, I offer a personal service where you deal with myself through all the planning. I put my heart and soul into every big day, and after 16 years still get butterflies showing a bride her bouquet.”
Based in York, Baba Ganoush are award-winning caterers with a love of great food. “Our creations span everything from traditional Yorkshire roasts to BBQs and sharing feasts. Couples can enjoy canapés during drinks followed by fine dining, or treat their guests to a casual buffet before feasting on delicious mini desserts.”

Based just outside Barmby Moor, Barmbyfields is a collection of rural barns, renovated to retain their rustic charm of old exposed beams and brickwork. There's many different rooms to utilise, consisting of the main barn, ceremony room, bar area, entrance and upstairs granary; a place where people go to relax. There's also an outdoor barn, popular in both summer and winter, while the grounds provide many photo opps, from the signature rope swing to a grass paddock; ideal for garden games.

Ukrainian-born Olga met Oliver at a Halloween ball at private London members' club, Annabel's. “Oliver was dressed as Dracula and spotted me on the dancefloor,” says the bride. “He thinks he acted suave trying to catch my attention, but he looked like a gazelle caught in the headlights, with his mouth wide open!”
