Before I head to Essex for today’s garden wedding, here’s a super sneaky peek from Alix & Manu’s wedding in France. I’m off to Finland next week (for a few days of hols + a wedding), but can’t wait to get stuck in processing this gorgeous wedding on my return. Keep an eye out for future updates on Alix’s blog, where you can also find links to some pics from her super stylish guests!
Sophie & Henry got married in Solihull on a sunny but windy Saturday at the start of July. I had been waiting for this wedding for what seems like forever! We had such a blast during Sophie and Henry’s engagement session last September that I just couldn’t wait to see them again and find out what their wedding would look like. And as suspected, it was all absolutely beautiful!
I just adored Sophie’s gorgeous Pronovias gown and her ridiculously high pink heels from asos, so elegant and girly at the same time. The beautiful peony bouquet from Fleur De Lis really completed the look – LOVE peonies!
The ceremony of Sophie and Henry’s wedding took place in the beautiful Church of St Mary the Virgin, followed by a reception at the Punchbowl, a stunning country pub in Lapworth. Sophie hired the jugs, cake stands, bunting and sweet jars from Vintage Teas & RSVPs. She arranged the table flowers (from Birmingham wholesale markets) herself, with the help of her mum and friends – and her dad grew the sweet peas that were in the jam jars on the top table.
I so enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of this wedding, and I had so much fun hanging out with Sophie and Henry again after all this time. I really wish you guys all the best in your future, you rock!
It was so nice to see Laura and Richard again when we met up for their engagement session in central London the other week. We started off at Bank station in the City, and then strolled over the river, finishing up at Bermondsey Street, which is a really lovely area of South-East London with it’s cute shop fronts and splashes of colour. It was such a lovely and sunny day, and I had so much fun with Laura and Richard – really looking forward to their wedding in September!
I have to say, editing at 2am doesn’t feel nearly as strenuous as you’d think when you have beauties like these to work with! Keep an eye out for more from Sarah & James’ gorgeous Suffolk wedding later on.
During yesterday’s engagement session in central London I was feeling a little bit shell shocked by the amount of people and hustle and bustle everywhere. I think I just figured out the reason why! I’ve spent most of the summer covering weddings all over the UK, from cliff tops to quiet little villages, where the most ‘bustle’ you might bump into is a cow or two or perhaps a sheep – so it’s really no wonder I’ve forgotten how busy London can feel! Jacqueline & Simon’s wedding is a prime example of the lovely places I’ve got to visit this summer.
Jacqueline and Simon got married at the church of St. Nicholas Bratton St. Maur, with a reception at Bratton Farm House, in the gorgeous little village of Bratton Seymour in Somerset. I can’t tell you how beautiful a setting the village and the farm house were for a wedding! The day was amazing through and through, with a lovely relaxed atmosphere and so many beautiful touches, from Jacqueline’s exquisite Jenny Packham gown to the wild flower arrangements and all the little antique details. This really was the perfect garden wedding!
Thanks so much Jacqui and Simon for having me, I hope you’re having an awesome time on your honeymoon!
