Roseanne and Darren's simple but oh-so-beautiful wedding is the perfect way to begin a week of wedding inspiration.

The colour scheme of pale pink and blue is subtle and pretty. The decor is minimal, allowing the venue, Cripps Barn, to shine - the focus is all on fresh flowers and candle light. And that's all you really need lovelies. It's definitely my kind of wedding.

I love that Roseanne chose to wear a veil too - I'm a sucker for tradition. Her Pronovias gown fits her perfectly and she looks every inch the blushing Bride.

Today's images from John Hope are so full of romance and emotion. There are endless stunning couple shots. I can completely see why Roseanne is so thrilled with the photos - her and Darren's love for each other spills out from them.

Roseanne The Bride: Our search for a wedding venue was easy! Cripps Barn was the 3rd venue that we looked at and after our first visit, all other contenders were forgotten. In the heart of the Cotswolds, Cripps is surrounded by beautiful villages, country pubs and rolling hills. Our families were traveling from South Wales and West Yorkshire so it was important that we had somewhere nice to stay for the weekend of the wedding and Bibury, with its cottages and B&B's was perfect.

Wedding dress shopping was super fun. I had a vision of a delicate lace dress in my mind from the off and I honestly thought that is what I would get until I went on a spree with my lovely bridesmaids. I tried on plenty of lace dresses, none of which really set my world on fire. Then my Mum and I went shopping a few weeks later and found 'the one'. I loved the Pronovias dress for its simplicity and elegance. When i tried it with the lace edged veil i was sold! I never thought I'd actually wear the 'blusher' walking down the aisle but when I tried it I thought 'why not'! I'd never get to do it again and it looked wicked.

The shoes were one of the first things i bought. I'd seen them first on RMW and I fell in love with Rachel Simpson's style which is so vintage. My mimosa shoes reminded me of charleston dancing shoes, not too high and with a small t-bar to ensure my feet don't slip out!

I never thought I'd find my perfect wedding jewellery whilst at the gym. Jette from Nordic Gems had just started her own business and had a small stall outside the changing rooms. I knew that I wanted pearls but hadn't seen anything until then that was a little bit different. I adored the small micro-pearl necklace with a larger pearl pendant and matching earrings. I also bought my bridesmaids rose quartz necklaces and earrings from Jette.

We didn't plan on having a colour scheme but in the end I suppose it was subtly blue and pale pink. When looking for inspiration before the wedding, I found that I was pinning lots of things that had a country, romantic, rustic feel so this inspired a lot of the decor. It also fitted with my desire to keep things simple and natural. I used a lot of twine, lace and ribbon bought over the internet.

I can't tell you how much I love flowers. I always thought that if I had a career change, I'd be a florist. I wanted a pretty, slightly wild and interesting looking bouquet which was full of fragrance and texture. I was so happy with the result which had ivy and mint flower running through it. The boys had lovely button holes, with spray roses and mint and the barn was full of flower gorgeousness on the tables, hanging from the ceiling and on the fireplace.

I couldn't wait to see Darren on the day of the wedding. I had so much nervous and excited energy whilst waiting for the car, my Dad and I sang the Huddesfield Town 'Smile Awhile' fan song to get rid of my nerves, a moment I'll never forget. The ceremony took my breath away. My younger brother Chris sang my entrance song (The Very Thought Of You - Billie Holiday) on acoustic guitar. It felt like i was floating down the isle and all i could concentrate on was Darren at the end. I didn't see a single other person. Darren's sister Rhian read 'The Lovely Other Dinosaur' by Edward Monkton in her soft Welsh accent. It was perfect for Darren and I and added a bit of lightness to the ceremony. My brother George read a poem called 'The One'. We had fun with the music and chose Stevie Wonder 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' to exit to.

I had been recommended Hussy from a friend and checked them out straight away. I loved them instantly, they were just the type of indie, pop, rock band we were looking for. They had everyone up and bouncing round the whole night, we loved it and everyone else did too.

From an early stage I decided that I would try and make as much as I could. I really unleashed the creative side of me and completely enjoyed every second. I made invitations, order of services, menus, the table plan, place names and my masterpiece table centres. For the centrepieces, I asked Darren's brother Matthew who is a gardener to cut some wooden disks so that I could place three decorated jam jars on them for flowers. I had everyone in the family collecting jam jars for me. The end result was so pretty and fitted in with the whole feel of the day.

I wrote an individual message on the back of each guests place card. I recalled a memory or said a special thanks. I'm so pleased that I decided to do this as it was my way of appreciating everyones love and support and saying thanks for being with us on our special day.

Always remember - on the day, nothing else matters other that you and your hubby to be. Not the weather, nor the fact that the next door cottage is having renovations and you have noisy, hairy arsed workers outside your front door. You will look back at the small hiccups with fondness and a smile. They make good stories!

Take trainers if you are being photographed in muddy fields, no one will ever know! (your dress can always be dry cleaned but grubby feet will make you feel grubby all day).

Special moments for me were watching the sun going down and the night sky fill with stars. Walking out to the fields with new hubs looking back at the barn, all lit up, music blaring out, people laughing and waking up as husband and wife.

John Hope was the genius behind our wedding! The one who caught all the loving glances. The one who captured the fun and the emotion. The one who made us into the coolest people on the planet and reflected the most beautiful parts of our surroundings in his pictures.
