"As I designed the whole venue, I wanted to keep a vintage French theme not over the top but let the surroundings speak for themself. I sourced original French vintage large green glass jars (which in France are used in flower shops), which also housed the flowers and had the table numbers on in chalk pen. Also the original sash windows from the build I kept and used as the table plan (wrote table plan myself on the glass). Also sourced vintage French linen as the table runners (very rustic)..."

Words of Wedded Wisdom...
"Don’t build your own venue he he!!
I would say treat it as a big party and think what it would be like as a visitor to your own wedding/party and realise that sometimes you shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. Also best piece of advice was to sneak away a couple of times during the day to have a kiss and giggle with each other.
The things that stood out on the day were the wonderful smiles of everybody, the heartfelt hilarious speeches the beach photos. The photo booth will go down in history with my family. Plus our band, which made the evening, go far too quickly..."

I just love this wedding, the brides wonderful smile says it all. Julie and Vinny tied the knot on Friday 28th October 2011, with a ceremony at St Charles’ Church in Gosforth Newcastle, followed by a reception at Newton Hall at Newton By The Sea, Northumberland.

Julie is a really talented interior designer and a fellow North East lass ;) I first met her She is responsible for having designed and styled all the cool spots in my home town of Newcastle Upon Town, where she now lives, prior to which she was responsible for designing a number of other trendy haunts in London, where she spent several years honing her skill and developing her signature style.

I'm a little bit excited about this wedding. And yes I know I've already featured two Jenny Packham brides this week, including one wearing Eden already, but I've been waiting for this questionnaire back for weeks so I'm not waisting any time in sharing this with you!

"I was inspired by rustic French barn images, the countryside in Northumberland, Love my Dress and brown paper - my staple for business stationary. I think my regular trips to antique fairs inspired a lot of the look too..."
