You might remember Emily and Paul from our shoot in a golden cornfield earlier in the year. When I arrived at the beautiful Wyck Hill House, I was surprised to bump into Emily downstairs who was walking around in her slippers and curlers in her hair – she was the most relaxed bride I’ve photographed yet! Her bridesmaids had been putting the finishing touches to the banquet room and she was so excited to see their work.
We went up to her room together and when I met the bridal party, I knew it was going to be a fun day 🙂 Emily and her bridesmaids (two schoolfriends and her younger sister) got along so well, we were all in fits of laughter all the time. And the laughter didn’t stop. Emily is a nanny, so her wedding would not be complete without flowergirls and pageboys, three of which were the children that she looked after. The bouquets were stunning in peacock colours and succulents – all the girls totally fell in love with the flower circlets that two of the flowergirls wore.
The colour scheme was carried through in the banquet room which was styled with Wonderland inspired details from chess pieces to pink flamingos and ‘drink me’ potions…as well as edible chocolate ‘rocks’. The cake was an amazing creation with two peacocks with their tails going all the way down the sides of the cakes.
The whole day was relaxed with lots of family and friends, including some overdue reunions. All the proceedings were topped off by rockaoke. For anyone who likes Guitar Hero/Rockband or karaoke, this is a dream – you get to sing the song of your choice with a full backing band. If your vocals need ‘help’, the singer can join you, so everyone’s a winner! As you can see from the pictures, they really did rock it, which made for a lively evening!
Congratulations Emily and Paul – everyone had a great time! With thanks to Kerry for second shooting.
