I love an autumnal wedding, it’s far and away my favourite season. Jesmond Dene House, in among the trees with their obediently-falling leaves, was the perfect location for the season and Beth and Dan really leant into the fabulous, rusty colour scheme. I even spotted blackberries in the bridal bouquet - how stunning!
Read MoreI talked about how the Turkish have a word "vefa" which doesn’t directly translate into a single English word, but describes a profound loyalty and faithfulness. I told the story of how when Yunus’ hometown in Turkey was struck by an earthquake, Emily was there for him in every possible, profound way.
Read MoreWhen I first met Alice and Amber in a coffee shop I wasn’t just meeting an engaged couple, I was meeting two Swifties high on the fumes of the Eras tour they had just returned from. We talked non-stop about Taylor and weddings - barely taking a breath between the three of us - and it was Girlhood™. And it was delicious.
Read MoreLián and Jacob’s was my first wedding at Doxford Barns and it wasn’t a disappointment. Not least of all because during the portion of the day where I infiltrate the bridesmaids’ gang and get all the tea (both literally and figuratively) I discovered that the mirrored bridal dressing room leads STRAIGHT down a set of stairs into the ceremony room…
Read MoreThey are the type of #couplegoals pair who - when it came to their wedding - wrote sweet, decorated notes for each other to open on the morning. The type of pair who co-baked their own wedding cake. The type of pair who grew flowers for the centre pieces in their back garden.
Read MoreIt was an emotional ceremony, but not without moments of absolute hilarity, like Joanne needing her glasses to read her vows and not remembering who she’d given them to for safe keeping. These two know how to laugh at themselves - and each other! - and the vibe in the room was brilliant.
Read MoreOne of my favourite parts of Clare and Reece’s ceremony was the story of how they first met: at work…and she didn’t think much of him! The bride and groom share a self-deprecating sense of humour and it was fantastic to hear their friends and family laughing along as we went through the timeline of their enemies-to friends-to lovers trope.
Read MoreIt was a windy day, when The Day dawned. A blustery day as our friend Winnie the Pooh might say. But did Tom care as I stood with him, welcoming guests? Did he heck. And did Sophie care when she practically floated on a cloud of joy, down the beach path? Not a jot.
Read MoreWhen I arrived at Beth and Sam’s wedding - taking place in the back field of Beth’s family home - I was immediately embraced into the merriest of chaos. Dogs, kettle boiling, tag teaming into the hair and make up chair, sisters, misters of sisters, offspring of sisters, music playing…and the bride in a thong looking for tit tape.
Read MoreIt was the most beautiful of wedding entrances as first the guests, then the bridesmaids, then Lydia and her dad, approached the ceremony from the ornamental garden path, under an arch in the hedge and round the glistening pool.
Read MoreTara and Tom’s wedding was a gorgeous blend of three of the best accents - Aussie and Geordie and Scottish - with friends and family visiting Northumberland from over the Scottish borders and Down Under. No to mention all the KILTS.
Read MoreIt was modern crowd in sherbet colours against an Elizabethan backdrop, what’s not to love? It tickled me that before the bridal party arrived the bridesmaids’ rainbow of handbags were laid out on each chair - it looked like London Fashion Week.
Read MoreKatrina told me that while she is a Christian her lovely man Rory is not, and she wanted a wedding where both their world views could be acknowledged and honoured…and that’s a challenge I relish.
Read MoreNearly 12 million people on instagram have seen Kate bury a sausage (oo er, vicar) the night before her wedding, in keeping with the hilarious old tradition that it will make for good weather on your Big Day. And boy oh oh boy oh saveloy did it pay off. The weather wasn’t just sunny it was baking hot.
Read MoreThis ceremony was different to any I’ve done before, or since. Megan and Dexter were keen to have all the marriage proceedings in one go - legal aspect and personalised aspect - so they asked if I’d mind teaming up with the local registry office. And of course I didn’t!
Read MoreWhen I picture Steph and Tom’s big day I will picture fat raindrops and hot pink and beaming smiles…and all that garden magic will conjure up how relaxed it all felt. How right they clearly are together.
Read MoreOne thing I loved about Cara and Callum (and I loved loads about them) is that when I suggested we could pop a bottle at the end of their ceremony, they said “Yeah, but…could we do it at the beginning?”.
Read MoreJamie and Jack’s wedding was a celebration of all the things they love. They love to be the life and soul, making people laugh, and they’d arranged for two of Jack’s cousins to launch down the aisle before the anyone else - as beer boys - to 90s aisle to PJ and Duncan classic Let's Get Ready to Rhumble.
Read MoreI want to tell you about Charlotte and Pete’s ceremony, and I will. But, first, I have to tell you that the bride is a wedding dress designer. And that she had not one, not two, but THREE dresses. And not just wedding dresses, but bespoke, stunning, delicate, one-of-a-kind handmade creations.
