If anything is going to bring warm summer vibes to our day, it’s going to be Sian and James’ wedding!<\/p>\n

We are completely in love with every aspect of their day, and we’re super pleased that the end of their night ended on a high, with the help of The Penny Kings<\/a>! These two love-birds had a vision of their wedding with outdoor fun for all the family and bright details to bring smiles to faces. We think they went above and beyond to make their day so magnificent.<\/p>\n

From an intimate outside ceremony to a carnival-style reception, family speeches and a full dance floor to top off the day, it’s no wonder their day felt so magical. We can’t wait for you to read about this one!<\/p>\n

How did you meet?<\/h4>\n

We met through friends initially in our early twenties but it was Tinder 10 years later and James giving me a good deal on a new bathroom fit in my flat that got us together as a couple!<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did you propose?<\/h4>\n

James proposed by putting our then 7-month-old onto our bed with a bib on saying \u2018Mummy will you marry Daddy?\u2019 and my then 1.5-year-old running in with the ring!<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did you choose your venue?<\/h4>\n

We wanted outdoors as much as possible with a chilled vibe and just fun. Preston Court<\/a> was basically the first place we saw!<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did your wedding reflect you as a couple?<\/h4>\n

It was relaxed, chilled and fun. We had all our friends, who mean the absolute world to us, and are our main pillars of support in life.<\/i><\/p>\n

Getting Ready:<\/h3>\n

Bride tribe at the ready in the morning, Sian and her family and friends got ready together, with hair and make-up on hand to make them feel fabulous.<\/p>\n

Sian’s gown was a sleek fitted full-length dress with a beaded and lacey bodice, elegant skirt and short train. With hair up, but soft curls framing her face, Sian was a picture of elegance and effortless beauty. Also, we are soooo in love with Sian’s glittery heels – it’s all in the details!<\/p>\n

James and his groomsmen were in rich navy blue suits with bright tangerine orange ties and pocket squares. Waiting at the altar looking rather dapper, James was ready for his Bride to arrive! In a VW campervan too – a stylish arrival if we ever saw one!<\/p>\n

The Ceremony:<\/h3>\n

An outdoor ceremony is such a lovely choice if your venue is suitable and allows it. As Sian and James said, it was a big thing for them to be out in the open, breathing in the lovely summer air.<\/p>\n

On the venue grounds, across an idyllic period drama bridge, sheltered under a gorgeous tree, the wedding attendees patiently waited for the big moment. Sian and James exchanged vows under a stunning white gazebo whilst family and friends smiled and wiped away their happy tears.<\/p>\n

The sun shone on the newlyweds as they paraded across the grounds as confetti fluttered through the air. Finally Mr and Mrs!<\/p>\n

Drinks Reception:<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Did you have a style or theme?<\/h4>\n

Well the venue has a carousel so we picked up on that and went for a carnival theme with bright colours and vibrancy.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did you personalise your wedding?<\/h4>\n

We had some homemade items (We run a building firm).<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who joined you for your big day? How many guests?<\/h4>\n

Family & friends \u2013 130 for the day and then 160 in the evening.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did you keep the kids entertained?<\/h4>\n

We hired Carousel Creche \u2013 to look after the 10 children we had at the wedding for 4 hours for adult-only time!<\/i><\/p>\n

The afternoon was focused on feeling free and having fun, with a summer-vibe steel band, carnival games for the young and old, plus the perfect opportunity for group photos whilst the sun was shining in the sky.<\/p>\n

A photo booth is also a really popular wedding trend that we’re still loving. On theme, Sian and James opted for a VW Campervan photobooth – love it! As the drinks reception continued they had a selection of lovely speeches and thank you’s which had everyone giggling, plus they cut the tastiest looking cake!<\/p>\n
