Italian bride and groom Dan and Elisa’s London big day fills me with joy. And it’s not just because they are clearly completely in love ( check out the adoring “looking into each others eyes” image. Perfection)…. it’s because you can tell that everything they have incorporated into their wedding really represents them as a couple.
Oh and the Groucho Club in Soho where they held their reception?
Sexy, sexy, SEXY people.
Vibrant Blooms
We chose seasonal blooms for our autumn wedding. Amelia and circus roses, gerberas, dianthus, mango calla lilies, Chinese lanterns and celosias.
I wanted my flowers to be lively and vibrant and I have to thank Sandra at Angel Flowers for bringing my vision to life. We decided to use a whirly lollipops and colourful ribbons to tie the theme together.
Telling The Story
Our photographer was Samantha Capitano. We had seen some of her work on her website and loved her style, plus the fact that she works both in Italy and here in UK suited us perfectly.
When we eventually met in person and saw her full portfolio we were blown away by the quality of the images and the albums she produces. One thing we especially love about the photos that Samantha took is the way she sets up shots of the dress or the cake or all the other many things that are around on the day and which you are so happy to see again later in a photo – it’s like she has captured all the beautiful parts of the surroundings and put them down as a story-book memory for us to share.
On a personal level we had always felt very comfortable with Samantha, and likewise our guests found it easy to relax and engage with her.
Having already been part of plenty of weddings she knew how to help us keep a good flow to the day, and that was where her experience and professionalism were really invaluable, to be able to rely on someone to subtly coordinate the movement of the day took away some of the Wedding-day stress for us (and every little bit helped a lot!)
The Coolest Cake Topper EVER
We went for a tower of cupcakes from Crumbs & Doilies. On the top tier cake we put a custom made cake topper I ordered from Etsy.
Musical Interlude
We had a gospel singer for the ceremony and a swing-jazz quartet for the reception. As we got married at 11am and the reception took place over lunchtime, we wanted our entertainment to reflect the relaxed, laid back atmosphere of a weekend afternoon.
Fragrant Favours
We had perfumed candles and sugar almonds bags as favours. We placed them on the tables as place holders. The added a beautiful and colourful touch to our table decorations!
D.I.Y Decor
I made most of the table decorations myself. Our 9 tables were named after colours so each table had a different appeal matching the colour that gave its name to it.
I also bought table crystals from eBay to add some sparkles.
Loving Every Moment
Our wedding day was so special because it really reflected our style. We loved every single moment of it. We had a lot of fun and it was amazing to see all our friends and families gathered together to celebrate!!
I am actually pining for the Big Smoke, must make a trip in the New Year 
With huge thanks to Elisa, Dan and Samantha Capitano for sharing the pretty with Rock My Wedding.
Big London Love

I am in absolutely awe of this wedding.
Awe. I tell you.
Some of the best wedding photographs I’ve seen on RMW….possibly down to the fact that the bride and groom seem to be just so gorgeously in love!
The Dress.
The Veil.
The Shoes.
The Venue.
The Neon.
There’s nothing about this wedding that I don’t L.O.V.E.

The colours in this wedding are so stunning and the venue is super stylish!
Am also loving the brides short dress and the grooms navy suit. They both look so cool!
Last of all the flowers are totally gorgeous and the way that the lollipops have been incorporated is so clever !
Lovely wedding!

The idea of using sweets in your flowers is amazing. Its gorgeous and everyone says you don’t get to eat on your wedding day.
Two birds one stone.
The venue is highly modern and the dress tres vintage but it just WORKS because the dress is so simple and elegant.
My favourite picture is the one where the groom has the bride’s head in his hands and it looks like he’s never going to let her go.
Possibly my fave post ever – I have serious wedding-envy and feelings of “wish i could do it all again”!
Not just a sucker for a few bows, but also a London skyline silhouette and a neon sign! I want their wedding-ness all over my house!!!
LOVE!!
Mind blowing wedding!!
Me like.
There’s loads of touches I love about this wedding! The fur cape is beautiful!!
Was the ceremony in the crypt at St Paul’s? There’s definitely a few shots in the cathedral, but none of the service. I hope it was because that’s where I am getting married.
Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! And I need to know where the fur cape is from!! Beautiful!!!
Beautiful wedding, great photographs, the vibrancy of the colours is amazing!
I loathe to admit this, but I come over a bit, well, jealous, when I look at this wedding! It’s glorious!
xx
Knew it would be a hit
You’ve got to love a lollipop inspired wedding!

This is a stunning wedding!
The Bride and Groom have so much style, I am super jealous!
I deal with wedding entertainmet at Sternberg Clarke and I love that the Bride and Groom managed to encorporate their style in the music choices…amazing
Great photos!! It’s such a beautiful wedding with a personal touch! The cake toppers are so cute! Love love love.
Wow. Just wow. I had the tiniest wedding ever, and I wish it could have been there, if it had been at a “venue”, and I wish that I had worn that exact same dress and little cape.
Both bride and groom are gorgeous, and have a fantastic, unique sense of style!!
Amazing wedding!
