"Definitely my forte!", I thought and contacted her straight away. I couldn't have hoped for more amazing photos as a result! I loaned Laura some of my sample fascinators and bridal headpieces and she created gorgeous hair and makeup to compliment them. The bouquets were also donated by Alison at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Wonderlandweddings1" target="_blank">Wonderland Weddings</a>&nbsp;who creates bouquets that you can keep forever. These stunning photos were taken by the talented <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AndyEathornePhotography?fref=ts" target="_blank">Andy Eathorne Photography</a>&nbsp;and there are more photos still to come by the equally excellent <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AndyDouglasphotography?fref=ts" target="_blank">Andy Douglas</a>. The perfect venue was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RothleyCourt?fref=ts" target="_blank">Rothley Court Hotel</a>.<br /><br />If you like what you see, pop by their Facebook pages and have a look at their work.&nbsp;</div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
