A beautiful English garden wedding
Take an Essex wedding planner, a home along the Thames, a wonderfully happy couple and a bunch of fantastic suppliers and this is what you get…
On the banks of the River Thames, Lucy & David were finally able to go ahead with their beautiful marquee garden wedding party in Maidenhead, Berkshire. It was shortly after the number restrictions had been lifted so there was a huge weight lifted off everyone’s shoulders when that news came through (phew!).
Lucy had approached me back in early 2020 to say she needed a wedding planner but I was not prepared for supporting one of the most organised brides I’ve ever worked with (fact). As soon as she, David and I spoke, I could visualize exactly how they wanted their day to look and Lucy was already working hard in the background preparing for their big day!
Fast forward to the wedding day and I arrived on site to the most beautiful location at Lucy’s Mum and Dad’s home which backed onto the River Thames (I mean, just WOW), it was so tranquil and had a beautiful English country garden feel to it, Mum and Dad had clearly been working hard to make sure it looked perfect for their day, it was laced with stunning Rose bushes and was very well kept. Baytree Events had done a fabulous job with the marquee even with all the last minute changes that Covid forced upon us.
Whilst Lucy and the girls were getting ready with Abbie at The Studio Effect, their Daughter Immy was getting more and more excited about the day ahead and looked stunning in her Sage sequined dress completed with a cute headband. David was in a hotel preparing for his journey to their local Church in Taplow and Abi the photographer for the day, worked closely with Shannon & Jack from Forever Curious who were the videographers for the whole day and boy did they capture some beautiful moments!

With Weddings having been stuck in lockdown with so many restrictions, it was refreshing to watch Lucy and David get married at their local 7th Century Norman Church. It went without a hitch (almost) as David managed to ‘do a funny’, unsure of whether to say ‘I do’ or ‘I will’ the Vicar kindly reminded him ‘The answer to this is, I hope, I will’ which David then repeated word for word, the whole Church roared with laughter and it was such a funny moment at a time which is usually very serious.
Then apart from dropping the ring (eek) everything was perfect and the Ushers had all clearly done their homework with their duties, they were on point!
What followed was an absolute gem of a day! The guests arrived back to the house being serenaded by the wonderfully talented Lawrence Hill, a room whose table plan from Helen Scott Design had been designed heavily based around music that Lucy and David love, the marquee was adorned with flowers from Lisa at Petal Power (she did flowers for the Queen don’t you know!) and Lucy’s mum had hand made the centerpieces and various displays around the marquee - what a talented woman! The couple chose favours of Gin & Tonic (my kind of wedding!) and an exquisite cake from the lovely Lauren at The Mix Cake
The wedding party then tucked into a delicious menu from Rachels Event Catering but made sure they left enough room for the tasty Pizzas served in the evening from Team Knead.
Before dancing the night away with BE Smart Events, of course…. they got to watch the Semi Final on a huge TV where Ukraine played England! What an atmosphere!!
Thank you to all the suppliers mentioned above who made this stunning garden wedding possible!
