Mr & Mrs Darke, wed at Cripps and Co’s Derbyshire wedding venue, Grangefields this June. A stunning venue surrounded by countryside on the historic Trusley Estate. With the breathtaking architecture of the ceremony barn to the rustic, modern black corrugated dining space, Adele and Keifers monochrome and nude styling with florals from The Lanes was the perfect addition to make their wedding the vision they had always wished for.
