March/April 2024

 
Spring its all about new life with trees s blossoming, daffodils flowering and young wildlife coming into the world. So, it’s a fitting time of year for a wedding as two people who’ve found love prepare to begin their own new life together. As we emerge from the long winter months, springtime nuptials make the perfect celebration, bringing everyone out of hiding! Everything about this time of year just feels joyous from the light, fresh flavours in food, to the oh-so beautiful flower varieties that come into bloom plus the lighter nights and warmer weather.

When anyone tries to tell me that pastel palettes are out for weddings, I’m afraid I have to stick my fingers in my ears – la, la, la! Wildflower-inspired themes have made their way into my heart over the last couple of years and I for one refuse to see them fall out of fashion! Vibrant hues are all very well and good in any other season, but what could be more complementary in the spring than a glorious garden inspired palette of pink, Peach Fuzz, lavender, sage and lemon? Be still my beating heart! There are a myriad of ways to bring these shades bang up to date: just picture an ombre of fresh yellows with zingy citrus, lemon and mustard complete with Mediterranean vibes. Sunny and oh-so stylish.

Page 41’s styled shoot team set out to capture this magical time of year at the change of the seasons with this stunning project. Fresh and clean you can almost smell spring in the air. It’s also well worth turning to our annual jewellery and accessories feature if you’re in search of inspiration as a whole host of local businesses have shared some stunning pieces to feast your eyes on.

As ever, enjoy and keeeep planning!

Jacqui Naylor, GM at the castle says, "We're aware that we're a hidden gem in the North Yorkshire countryside and compared to some of Yorkshire's larger visitor attractions, we need to work hard to ensure our visitor offer meets the challenge of the 21st-century market.
