Yesterday we had the pleasure of watching Sayma & Jeremy’s dreams come true as they got married under a tree canopy at Todmorden Mills.
A true inspiration of how love conquers all differences and boudaries, their wedding merged two very distinct cultures.
Sayma wanted to honour her homeland (Bangladesh) traditions by wearing a gorgeous flowing turquoise gown. Jeremy looked dapper in his black suit and matching turquoise tie.
Here they are exchanging vows in their outdoor ceremony. Sayma had a chandelier with turquoise candles hanging from a tree branch behind the officiant, with beautiful crystal ornaments hanging from the branches. Sadly my poor photography skills with my amateur camera doesn’t do it justice but hopefully you get the idea!
The reception was held inside the Todmorden Mills Art Gallery (a former papermill back 100 years or so ago). It’s a very lovely space and not many people know about it! A hidden gem in the city!
A wishing tree and signing table greeted guests as they arrived. Although simple in concept, with that manzanita tree was full of well wishes by the end of the night and the table overflowing with brightly wrapped gifts.
Sayma is a professional cake decorator and actually teaches cake decorating in her spare time. She made her own cake and what a masterpiece! It tasted pretty fabulous too! 🙂
Did I mention friend Samantha added to the late night sweet table a sundae bar?
Live music was provided to keep the guests in high spirits. Sayma and Jeremy did their first dance to the Louis Armstrong classic “It’s a Wonderful World”.
By the end of the night, we were all pretty tired… but happy! Congrats Sayma & Jeremy!
