โ˜€ A look back today to a wonderful June wedding at The Earley Christian Fellowship Church.
๐Ÿ‘ฐโ€โ™‚๏ธ Preparations began in the lounge of the house next door.
๐Ÿ’• The church was full with lots of family and friends enjoying the beautiful marriage service.
๐ŸŽ‰ The Bride and Groom snuck back into the house with me for a few couple photos on the elegant staircase before they exited through an aisle of confetti.
๐Ÿ“ท With a high advantage point from the first floor of the house no guests could escape in the group photo of everyone!
๐Ÿš— We all made the the short drive from Earley, through the picturesque village of Sonning and across the River Thames into the Oxfordshire countryside to Shiplake Memorial Hall.
๐Ÿฅช Guests were treated to a wonderful afternoon tea as the Wedding Breakfast.
๐Ÿ˜† Lots of laughter was captured during the speeches in front of the historic fireplace.
๐ŸŒฟThe lane by the village hall was a wonderful spot for a quiet moment out of the spotlight for some newlywed portraits.
๐Ÿฅ‚ Happy Anniversary to the lovely couple who celebrated earlier this month.

๐Ÿคต Grooms often ask what roles should I give my groomsmen?

โœ”๏ธ A Best Man is there to support the Groom on the day with whatever he needs. He'll look after and present the rings during the ceremony and, of course, embarrass the Groom with his speech. He will also help the other groomsmen.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Ushers are there as their name describes to usher people throughout the day. They show guests where to sit, give out orders of service at church, direct guests to the next part of the day, help gather people for photos and are in charge of the ceremony and wedding breakfast music. These days, couples opt for signs to direct and inform guests of information!

๐Ÿ™Žโ€โ™‚๏ธ Page boys or 'mini ushers' as I call them looking smart in their matching little suits stay by the side of the groomsmen or be part of the aisle procession. They may help their elders or be asked to stay out of mischief depending on how young they are! Some are given the role of ring bearer taking that duty off the Best Man at the last minute!

๐ŸŒธ These days, the roles are not gender specific, and the roles are shared. Some Grooms have a Best Lady, I have more Flower Men at weddings this year! It's all about having those close to you helping you with tasks on the day.

๐Ÿ’ Last month I was honoured to be invited by Village Hotel Club Reading to exhibit at their first wedding fair.
๐Ÿ˜€ There was a great buzz in the room amongst the suppliers who were pleased to be back in this familiar room where we have previously provided wonderful wedding experiences.
๐Ÿ–Œ What do you think of the renovated room? I love it! Smart with more of a luxurious vibe.
๐Ÿ’™ The view out of the windows is the River Thames, a great backdrop for your portraits and group photos and where you'll find Thames Rivercruise.

โ˜€ A look back today to last June at The Hampshire Court Hotel near Basingstoke for this wonderful midweek celebration!
๐Ÿ‘ฐโ€โ™‚๏ธ Preparations began in The Bridal Suite with details captured on the balcony ledge.
๐Ÿ’• A beautiful ceremony in the Chineham Suite by the Hampshire registrars.
๐Ÿฆ‹ Butterflies were the theme for the day exquisitely planned by the couple.
๐Ÿ˜„ Lots of fun was had with fun group photos on the terrace in the courtyard.
๐Ÿ“ท Lead-in lines are fantastic at this venue for newlywed portraits on the decking 'bridges'.
๐Ÿ—จ Emotions were captured discreetly during the speeches after the wedding breakfast in the spacious Highclere Suite.
โ˜€ After dodging showers for most of the day came a beautiful golden hour.
๐Ÿชฉ The excitement continued with the cutting of the cake and first dance.
๐ŸŽญ Everyone enjoyed the photobooth as they continued the party into the evening.

๐Ÿ”• You can hear a pin drop when a ceremony begins, however it doesn't have to be that way in late spring and summer!
โ˜€ Consider an outdoor ceremony with the distant calming sounds of a river flowing or the delightful tunes of birdsong.
๐ŸŒฟ A wonderful backdrop of the natural environment and a gentle breeze to make you feel at ease.
๐Ÿ’š If you were to choose a celebrant you could have your wedding day in your favourite outdoor space anywhere with the land owners permission! You just need a quick registrar appointment another day for the legal paperwork.

๐Ÿ’ In the UK it is tradition from the moment you've been engaged (or chosen your engagement ring ๐Ÿ˜‚) to wearย it on the fourth finger on your left hand.ย 

๐Ÿค” This is also where you'll wear your wedding ring, which often prompts brides to ask, "Where does my engagement ring go during our wedding ceremony?"

๐Ÿ’ I'd highly recommend having your engagement ring on you during the preparations. One of my favourite photos is a macro shot of an engagement ring in a bouquet.

๐Ÿซณ For the ceremony, place your engagement ring on any other finger temporarily. However, if it is likely to fall off, hand it to a bridesmaid or parent for safe keeping.

โœ๏ธ After the ring exchange in your ceremony (whilst your signing your legal documents is an ideal time or during your drinks reception), place your engagement ring in front of your wedding band.

๐Ÿฅฐ Your wedding band goes on first, closer to your heart.ย 

๐ŸŒ Different cultures will have other traditions and some couples opt not to wear rings for various reasons.

๐Ÿท A look back today to a lovely sunny May bank holiday wedding at Stanlake Park Wine Estate.
๐Ÿชฎ Preparations began in the Bow Loft. It's a charming space with rustic beams and conveniently seconds away from a ceremony in The Coach House barn!
๐Ÿฆ™ During the drinks reception in The Courtyard everyone was greeted by two adorable alpacas who also joined in with the group photos!
๐Ÿ“ท The couple spent a quiet moment together in The Walled Garden, perfectly framed by the vineyard's natural lead-in lines.
๐ŸŽค Speeches were discreetly documented in The Vineyard Barn after a delicious Wedding Breakfast.
๐Ÿคฃ DJ Alastair, recommended by the venue, spontaneously joined in on the fun after the Bride and Groom had their relaxed photos taken with their LOVE letters he provided.
๐Ÿ•‘ Selecting wedding suppliers who work together regularly ensures your day flows naturally. They blend seamlessly as a team to bring your vision to life.

โ˜€๏ธ Following their first dance, the newlyweds enjoyed a romantic stroll through Cricket Field Vineyard as the warm golden sun set.
๐Ÿฅ‚ Happy Anniversary to the lovely couple who celebrated last week.
