What Made Our Day Unique
We tried to blend our favourite traditions from our respective British and American families. We chose a beautiful English country house, but also found space for a more intimate rehearsal dinner, to thank those who had travelled from far away. We added a speech from the American sister-of-the-bride who brought everyone to tears, and then celebrated Joel’s Northern Irish roots by dancing into the night with a ceilidh.
Inspiration & Styling
We both work as book editors, and we wanted to create a romantic old-world library vibe. The stationery was inspired by old books (and the menu had a ‘beginning’, ‘middle’ and an ‘end’ rather than the usual course names), while we used lots of candles to light the space, which worked perfectly on a dark November evening.
