  • Real Wedding Sneak Peek – Katherine and Nic

    Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

    Posted in Real Weddings

    Katherine and Nic’s wedding (our first of the season!) took place at the end of last month on a beautifully warm and sunny spring day in central London. Katherine is originally from America, whilst Nic’s parents originate from Belgium and Cyprus, so this was a real international affair with guests flying in from around the world in the week leading up to the big day (fortunately the volcanic ash cloud moved just in time!). It also meant there were lots of personal touches reflecting their backgrounds, including Belgian chocolates for favours, a scrummy dessert bar and some highly entertaining Greek dancing later in the evening! I’ll post a full report on the day shortly, but for now here are a few pictures to whet your appetite…

    You may remember that just before Christmas I posted a sneak peek of Emily and Tim’s beautiful winter wedding in central London. Well we’ve just received some professional photos from Neil Luxford who covered the day’s events, and I just could not wait any longer to share them with you!

    On Saturday I was privileged to be involved in the wedding of Emily and Tim, and what a beautiful wedding it was to end the year on. As Tim is in the army, the wedding was held at Wellington Barracks in central London, with a ceremony in the Guard’s Chapel and a reception in a large marquee. I’ll have a full report and hopefully some professional photos in the New Year, but for now I thought I’d give you just a little taste of the beautiful festive decorations that were used to decorate the marquee…

    The military blue decor was perfectly complemented by the subtle touches of red and green in the centrepieces, place cards and favours.

    Back at the end of July you might remember that we were asked to manage Christine and Luke’s wedding day at the Royal Chace Hotel in Enfield. We’ve just got the photos back from the lovely Joe Miles, so I thought I’d share a few shots of the day with you.
