Vee & Will got married in a tiny little village called Little Bardfield deep in the Essex countryside. Their intimate humanist ceremony, coupled with a topsy turvy wedding day schedule, created a special day that really reflected their fun personalities. Hill House, Will’s childhood home, made for a magical setting, and the different marquees dotted around the grounds ingeniously divided the outside space into different areas according to the different stages of the day.

There were so many things I loved about this wedding, from the fun relaxed atmosphere and Pimm’s in the garden, to the quirky hat-themed seating plan, but my favourite has to be the gorgeous flowers – they were just beyond beautiful!

I don’t know whether it was the remote location which made the darkness feel darker, but when the evening fell at Vee & Will’s wedding, I realised that this crazy summer has almost come to an end. When we drove off into the pitch black night, leaving the wedding party tearing it up on the dance floor, I found myself feeling quite nostalgic… Not to worry though, the season is nowhere near finished yet, September and October are chock-a-block with lovely weddings to look forward to.

But first, let me take you back to rural Essex….
