Only You: Lindsay & Graham

Lindsay Peart, 30 and Graham Porter, 29 met 13 years ago in a pub during a night out, they were 17 and 16 respectively and have been together ever since. The couple decided it was about time they got married and officially became engaged on Christmas Eve 2011.

The couple married at Slaley Hall, Hexham, Northumberland. Lindsay says: "There was no set colour scheme or theme to our wedding, we decided to just pick the things we liked and hoped they didn’t clash too much!"

The Brides Outfit

Lindsay’s dress was Tabitha by Charlotte Balbier, which she bought from The Wedding Dress Company, Corbridge and was also where Lindsay bought her side tiara. Lindsay teamed the Charlotte Balbier dress with ‘Mimi’ shoes by Rachel Simpson.

The brides outfit was accessorised with earrings and brooch from Stephanie Brown. The bridesmaid and flower girl dresses were from Monsoon.
