She’s joining us today to tell you all about the benefits of hiring a wedding celebrant; from the personalisation of your ceremony to having more flexibility. With over two decades of experience in helping to plan weddings, Jennifer knows a thing or two about how to make your day special.

Didsbury House Hotel Wedding with Halfpenny London Bride Dress
White Stag Wedding Photography
If you like blush weddings, then we know you will love this Didsbury House Hotel celebration. I don’t think we need to point out what the colour theme was for the day, but just in case you missed it…pink! From the wedding stationery to the flower arch above the door that guests were greeted with as they arrived, blush tones littered the venue! The bride looked beautiful in a Halfpenny London – one of our handpicked suppliers – wedding dress with lace detail teamed with a fun crown and flanked by her blush bridesmaids who wore mid-length dresses. Later in the evening the bridal party all donned personalised coverups with the bride choosing a white embellished jacket. Every detail had really been carefully considered, from the crockery to the eco-friendly wedding confetti from Shropshire Petals – another of our recommended suppliers – even the bride’s socks matched the colour scheme with little gold stars!

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again love knows no bounds. It isn’t prejudiced against age, gender or race and if you’re lucky enough to find it and hold on to it right up until your golden wedding anniversary like this couple, we think you are pretty much winning at life. They celebrated with a surprise ceremony at dusk, at the home and life they’d built together, surrounded by their grandchildren and reaffirming their vows to one another. What a great example of everlasting love.

July 2020 Wedding with Couples Portraits in Camden Town
Adoring crowds cheered and a busker played this couple their favourite song as they walked through Camden Town after saying I do at their COVID secure July 2020 wedding ceremony. Everything was small, simple and meaningful, and despite only being able to say their vows in front of 30 of their closest family and friends rather than their original 350 guest list they couldn’t have wished for a better wedding day. Story + Colour captured every emotion and moment of pure joy to perfection, you can feel like love radiating from the page.

How To Store Your Wedding Dress
Becky: You might be picking up your dress a couple of days before your wedding, you might have it a week before or because of current circumstances, you might have it in your possession for much longer before you can wear it. If that’s the case, how are you planning on storing it? No one is saying that you can’t pop it on and have a dance around the kitchen, but that might not help with the storing-it-and-keeping-it-pristine purpose of this post.
Whatever your dress storing status is, we’ve bought in an expert to fill you in on how to store it safely. Allow me to introduce Cynthia Grafton-Holt. Cynthia is the founder and bespoke wedding dress designer at Cynthia Grafton-Holt Couture so if anyone can tell you how to store your wedding dress correctly, it’s her. Enjoy.
