The number 1 mistake couples make early in their wedding planning journey? Booking their venue BEFORE their planner. I don’t think I’m being dramatic when I say choosing your wedding venue is maybe the most important part of wedding planning. The physical location of your celebrations can (dare I say should) influence almost every other decision you make after that, since it helps dictate the vibe

Imagine spending a weekend with 60 of your favourite people in a Scottish castle, with the perfect crisp, autumnal scenery right outside your window…yes please! If this also sounds like your idea of a great time, you’re going to love S&A’s wedding weekend. There was a big focus on guest experience, and you’ll see they put lots of thought into maximising the fun for everyone

Pastels have made a comeback in a big way in the wedding world, and I for one love it. Alex and Alyssa’s summer pastel wedding at Four Seasons Hampshire was the most gorgeous softly coloured, finely detailed day that celebrated everything that made them them and made the most of their venue. Expect alternative ceremony ideas, a bespoke couples’ crest, and storytelling florals - all

Cici and Hugo’s gorgeous Somerley House wedding still replays frequently in my head, and once you immerse yourself in their British grandeur-meets Scandi-meets-Kenyan-heritage vibe, you’ll understand why. It was important to choose a weekend wedding venue since most of their guests were coming from abroad to celebrate with them, and Somerley’s elegant English style was the perfect setting for all the multicultural influences we were

S&B’s colourful fusion wedding at Wilderness Reserve was a complete extravaganza of fun across four days - it was also the perfect example of how we can ‘theme’ a wedding in a way that’s chic, not cheesy.  We had axe throwing, cocktail ice lollies and a Bermuda-Australia-London mashup full of colour and beautiful details - so, let’s get lost in the wilderness together for a

Ahh, gorgeous Avington Park - in my opinion, one of the best wedding venues for a weekend buyout in the vicinity of London. A&W’s celebrations are having their moment here on the blog today, and you’re going to want to stick around if you love dreamy garden ceremony florals, the coolest way to enter a drinks reception (maybe ever) and a good old English pub

Hampshire’s Heckfield Place paints an imposing, almost regal self portrait on the approach, but any expectations of ostentation or stuffiness quickly dissolve the second you set foot in this restored Georgian family home. There is an atmosphere of humbleness on the working farm estate, but with total class - it’s the chicest farmhouse you’ll find anywhere within an hour of London, describing itself as ‘tamed

Hampshire’s Four Seasons hotel makes for the perfect luxurious little wedding getaway, taking you away from London’s city pace in as little as an hour. As a wedding venue it has it all; quintessential countryside views, a gorgeous walled garden and exquisite interiors, so it’s no surprise S&F chose it for their spring celebrations. This wedding is Wonderland, elevated. Step into a world of elegant

St. Giles House - a manor house in the quaint village of Wimbourne St Giles, complete with internationally renowned stud farm and the air of being oh-so classically British…with just a few epic surprises tucked up its sleeve. A&D’s wedding at St Giles, Dorset was a masterclass in taking a classic and making it totally, decadently your own, so I’m going to celebrate it all
