Your London Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 91)

We had a floating flower cloud at the back of the studio with shades of pink, green and orange. Halcyon Halcyon did our flowers, styling and wedding plan – this was my favourite feature the team did! The best woman, Emma, wore a silk burnt orange midi dress from The Own Studio. Shoreditch Studios is a dry-hire venue with a fantastic blank canvas space that gave us huge scope for what we could do, and we weren’t tied to any other suppliers. The outdoor courtyard space was important too, as we wanted to make the most of the sun during the day. We live in East London and my work is in Shoreditch, so we knew we wanted a local reception venue that represented our lives together. Our favours were Cancer Research UK pins in the shape of a feather, which we pinned to a note about Seb’s dad and added a QR code if people wanted to donate in his memory. I wore a dress by Jenny Packham, which I bought from Frances Day Bridal in Nottingham. I immediately loved how I felt in the gown, as it was flattering and comfortable. I made some alterations to the dress, such as opening the back into a low V. Cater London created Middle Eastern sharing plates and an eton mess for pudding – yum! 41 REAL WEDDINGS
