Helen & Mark’s Country Cottage Hotel Wedding

I found myself in sunny Nottingham on the first day of August for Helen and Mark’s wedding. The ceremony and wedding reception was held at The Cottage Hotel which they transformed with many pink decorations. Almost unrecognisable!

I was especially impressed with the cake, one of the best I’ve seen, and to top it off the groom’s Mum made it. She really should go into business!
It was a splendid day of family, friends and laughter.
