My last wedding of 2023! What a way to end the year!
It was so great to be back for another Villiers Barn wedding again, it really is such a stunning venue with incredible grounds. I also loved the fact I got to work with the lovely Joanna Plimmer again, and also meet some incredibly talented suppliers which I can't wait to work with again!
Ellie & Andrew's day was nothing but beautiful. For their decor, there were some personal details which just made it more unique. I had already bonded with Ellie a lot beforehand on our love of cats, so it great to spot the cats on the cake topper (which Ellie made herself!), as well as the table plan. Ellie & Andrew love hiking together and being in the great outdoors, so all their tables were named after walks they had been on together. Their favours didn't disappoint either - Andrew's mum is an amazing gardener and actually grew all of the flowers placed in the guests seats! Hannah from Nettle & Hope then completed the decor with the most stunning autumnal floral arrangement for the cake and ceremony room, as well as the bouquets and buttonholes.
Ellie and Andrew were such a fun couple and I'm so glad I got to finish my year off with them! Scroll to see highlights from their beautiful day...
