The invitation suite was designed by Alexis and her mother (in conjunction with her stationery company Paper Dragon) and were all hand made by the lovely mother of the bride. I have to say that these, along with all the other paper goods designed by Alexis, set the tone for the day beautifully. But nothing came close to being more beautiful than Alexis on the day! She looked an absolutely knock-out in her Vera Wang gown, incredible Miu Miu heels and Atelier Millinery headpiece. Sophie Stafford on make-up, and Melanie Giles Salon on hair, completed the fabulous look. Alexis also wore her mother’s own bridal necklace, her grandmother’s tennis bracelet, and her bouquet was pinned with her grandmother’s art deco brooch. For the reception she added a belt made by Vera Wang Couturier with ribbon from VV Rouleaux and an AMAZING Vera Wang necklace.

The beautiful ceremony and glitzy reception of Alexis & Jack’s wedding both took place at the prestigious Bath Assembly Rooms in the city centre. Mary Lee Herrington of Forever and Ever Events was Day of Coordinator and my girl Steph Turpin of Fairynuff Flowers had created pure magic with the flower arrangements. Hannah Bowden from Searcy’s Catering was in charge of the fabulous food and the out-of-this-world cake was created by Linda Fripp and then customised with a cake topper by Cutture and ribbon from VV Rouleaux.

So many things made this wedding such a pleasure to be a part of, not least the other vendors, such as long time friends Wedding Smashers, who were on DJ duties, and  Allora Visuals – a cinematographer team I’ve always wanted to work with and finally had the chance to. Can’t wait to see what they captured! I have to also give a shout out to Hot Buttered Soul Collective who sang beautifully during the ceremony, and the lovely staff at The Assembly Rooms who were so helpful and accommodating.

But most of all, Jack and Alexis… I can’t congratulate you enough, it is clear that you were meant for each other and I am so so happy to have been present on your big day. Thank you so much for having us, and thank you to your families for being as utterly lovely as you two are. x

P.S. you can read Alexis’ side of her wedding day on her fabulous blog OMG I’m getting married!

The beauty didn’t stop just at the all the idiosyncratic details of the venue and the cutest little chapel, there were also the exquisite flower arrangements by Emma Vowles, the glorious cake of cheese by The Cheese Shed & delicious looking food by Posh Nosh – and that’s even before mentioning Alex’s beautiful beautiful wedding gown by Tara Keeley. Add to all this visual feast the lovely relaxed atmosphere of friends and family getting together on a beautiful summer’s day in the West Country, and you have pretty much my perfect event summed up.

I do want to give a special shout out to the wonderful Pippa at Maunsel House, who took such good care of me (especially since this was one of the rare weddings where I didn’t have Susanna with me to keep me in check!), thank you for being so amazing.

And of course, thank you to Alex & Billy. I’m so happy you wanted me to join you on your special day, and I truly hope you will be as blissfully happy for the rest of your life as you were on the day. x

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!
