Real Wedding: Sneak Peek
We’d been looking forward to Friday for a long time here at WBZL. After a year of planning, Georgiann and Jamie were all set to hold their wedding at Tylney Hall in Hampshire and we were getting to work with some of our favourite suppliers including the fantabulous Kerry Morgan. Being the all round rock star that she is, Kerry has already put some of the images up on her blog, so here’s a little sneak peek into the day’s events.
The design theme to the day was simple, relaxed and elegant which really reflected the personalities of Jamie and Georgiann. The florals were created by the lovely Julie at Moutan Flowers and all of the arrangements encorporated herbs and so smelt delicious.
The couple are originally from the United States and Canada and their guest list followed suit. As such, part of the wedding’s design was to encorporate some quintessentially ‘English’ details some of which were umbrellas and wellies; not a great PR job for the UK!
Right at the outset, Georgiann had mentioned how much she’d love to hold the ceremony outdoors. Of course with the famous British weather nothing is ever certain. The forecast was dubious and during setup we had to contend with flash downpours but as everyone got in postion for the ceremony, the grey clouds parted and the sunshine burst through. It really was a little bit magical!
One of the subthemes running through the day was trees. The ceremony was held under beautiful old tree and the Hello!Lucky stationery featured a chestnut tree motif. Rather than a table plan we used escort cards and wrapped them around a big, beautiful chestnut tree close to the banquetting space. It looked really cute fluttering in the wind.
Georgiann and I worked hard to find the best tasting cupcakes in London (this was obviously a huge chore) and it was great to hear so many of the American and Canadian guests saying how delicious the Hummingbird Bakery cupcakes were. The couple chose vanilla, black bottom and red velvet.
Georgiann’s hair and makeup was done by Antonia at Elle au Naturel. Antonia did such a great job, Georgiann looked breathtaking and what’s more her look lasted perfectly all day.
A big thank you to all the suppliers who worked so hard to make Friday happen so smoothly! Check out Kerry’s blog for a few more images.
