Katie & Helen’s day at the stunning Tithe Barn, Bolton Abbey, began with both of them getting ready at home before making their way to this breathtaking North Yorkshire wedding venue.
With a combined bridal party of around 14 bridesmaids (yes, you read that right!), the ceremony started with an incredible procession. One by one, each bridesmaid walked down the aisle, setting the stage beautifully.
When it comes to two-bride weddings, traditions often get a modern twist. Instead of one bride waiting at the end, Katie and Helen chose to each make their own entrance. Helen led the way down the aisle first, followed by Katie – a moment that was just as unique as it was moving.
Then she stood waiting patiently for her beautiful bride to be start her entrance too in to the grand ceremony room
After saying “I do,” Katie & Helen were greeted by their nearest and dearest — including their beloved dogs! 🐾 They took a little stroll around the grounds together, soaking up some quiet moments before heading back to celebrate.
While dogs aren’t allowed inside the Tithe Barn itself, they are welcome outside which works perfectly for capturing some gorgeous photos with them against the stunning backdrop of Bolton Abbey.
