Contemporary London Wedding
Our vibe was a contemporary wedding with a touch of luxe. We married in a beautiful intimate church right next to Liverpool St. (where Sophia’s Nonna used to go) and then hopped in a cream vintage London cab to The Loft Studios. The most unique thing was that we planned our wedding in under 4 months (lots of late-night planning sessions). We’d been together for 7 years and the pandemic allowed us to slow down and realise that we, of course, wanted to marry each other. The stars then aligned finding the most amazing venue and the rest they say is history!
It’s extremely freeing to accept that you may not be able to have absolutely everything perfectly in line with your vision. We found it helpful to be flexible and open to alternatives, and that allowed us to find some incredible people and things. Throughout our planning, we had our guests in mind and thought about how they would experience each part of the day. This really guided us to add in those extra touches. We also thought a lot about music; we didn’t want it to stop once it started and this created a vibe at every minute of the day.
Mike has, unfortunately, had a serious ski accident which will put him out of action for many months. This would have meant marrying this summer would’ve been a lot harder as Mike is currently in a wheelchair and using crutches. We want other couples to know that you can plan an incredible wedding in a much shorter time than you think. If circumstances allow, we encourage you to seize the moment and lock in a date sooner rather than later. From our experience, in life, you never know what’s around the corner so savour each moment and go for it!
