Inspiration Behind The Styling
We were inspired by Alice in Wonderland and the movie Moonrise Kingdom. We wanted our wedding to feel adventurous and magical. From the moment our guests arrived, they were greeted with a custom tote bag with goodies inside, including a custom map designed by Meticulous Ink. We also worked with Athena and her team to create a compass motif throughout our wedding designs, nodding to our sense of playfulness and adventure. At each place setting we had a compass that guests could take home. Babington House is a stunning venue and didn’t need much styling. Stylish Entertainment created custom lighting for both our wedding day and welcome BBQ, and Passion made custom wooden signs for different spots across the property.
Advice For People In The Throes Of Planning
Don’t be afraid to ask for help, or to get your friends and family involved in unique ways. I was so worried about burdening people during the planning process, especially since we were having our wedding abroad, but I learned that those who love you are eager to help and want your day to be perfect and worry-free. Assigning roles or allocating specific tasks is something I would recommend; from having a time tracker to someone making sure everyone has food and drinks throughout the day, every element can be overseen by someone who genuinely wants to help. We also asked two of our dear friends – one who is a comedian – to MC our wedding evening, and it is one of my highlights from the night.
