What Made Our Day Unique

We have never felt so loved as we did on our wedding day. It’s true what they say about it really being the best day - surrounded by all the people you care about the most. So many of our friends and family had been involved in bringing everything together that ultimately, it felt like a huge celebration for everyone. Our first dance performed by the incredible Chromatic really set the tone of the evening and got everyone fired up. During the band break, our family had arranged surprise fireworks for us and our guests out on the lawn overlooking the lake. They were breathtaking and gave everyone an excuse to go outside and cool down before the final stint of partying!

Inspiration & Styling

The long gallery garden ruin provided a stunning and natural backdrop for our ceremony. We continued this theme throughout, bringing the outside, inside, with an Italian twist. All the flowers - from bouquets to favours, table decorations to trees, overhanging ladders and floral displays were done by family and friends. We wanted them wild and green, with warm hues that reflected the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside. We loved the idea of injecting some gold, so sourced the candlesticks and vases from charity shops and online, opting for gold cutlery and gold ceramic olive leaves for the place settings.

Advice

It’s the most special day - and it’s your day. So do it your way. Spend as much of it as you can with your new husband/ wife and enjoy the party! Oh and get a video made! Working in the film industry, we were conscious not to feel like we had a camera on us all day. Anni and Chris from Bloom Weddings were so discreet and felt just like additional wedding guests. They could not have captured our day more perfectly.
