A Beautiful English Wedding at The Manor House, Combe — Part 2

There were far too many gor­geous pho­tos to share with you in one blog post, so I’ve split this wed­ding blog fea­ture into two parts: yes­ter­day I shared the bridal prepa­ra­tions and wed­ding cer­e­mony with you — today we get to admire the gor­geous fea­tures of The Manor House inside and out!

I’m sure you’ll agree Emma and Burnsy (offi­cial name Richard; place card name Burnsy

both look fab­u­lous: Emma’s Vera Wang wed­ding dress is amaz­ing on her; Burnsy is the tall, dark and hand­some type — and wears his top hat with style!

Wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy is by — once more with a huge grin from me! — the  — award win­ning wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers CG Wed­dings, aka The Craw­leys, from Cheshire.

The beau­ti­ful Bee Craw­ley — part of our award win­ning wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy team! is the blonde brides­maid blow­ing a kiss in this pic­ture. Hello Bee! xxx

The wed­ding recep­tion: The Manor House, Combe

What were your highlights?

The speeches

Venue styling and details

We kept every­thing white, sil­ver and blush pink and chose a roman­tic theme.

The cer­e­mony was just per­fect to me, with long white drapes over the Gazebo, an 80 meter white aisle and huge flo­ral arrangements.

Music and entertainment

We hired a string quar­tet for the cer­e­mony and champagne/canapés. Then opted for a DJ for the recep­tion — Dance­floor­cou­ture http://dancefloorcouture.co.uk/

Mem­o­rable wed­ding day moments — part two!

Sneak­ing off to our bridal suite through­out the night so Burnsy and I could sit together on our own and truly enjoy the moment. See­ing the amaz­ing DIY skills put to work on one of my brides­maids’ dress whose zip broke min­utes before the cer­e­mony! That pic­ture is priceless!

Wed­ding day advice

Have absolutely every last detail finalised and you will be able to enjoy every moment of the day because it will be just how you pic­tured it.
