A relaxed wed­ding blog — Lois and Gary at Friern Manor, Essex

Wed­ding venue:

Friern Manor

Wed­ding photographer:

David Walker and Nick Austin (David Walker Pho­tog­ra­phy)

How would you describe your wed­ding style?

Very relaxed with a Greek inspi­ra­tion. Our color pal­let was duck egg blue, white and black.

Invi­ta­tions and recep­tion stationery:

We designed our own wed­ding invi­ta­tions and had them printed. They were clas­sic but modern.

What did you both wear?

Lois wore a dress that was designed by her­self and made by a close friend. Her shoes were from Zara and she car­ried a sim­ple bou­quet of pale roses.

Gary wore a three piece suit from Moss.

The wed­ding cer­e­mony was a bless­ing given by a fam­ily friend. We were mar­ried the day before in a reg­istry office so our wed­ding day was more relaxed and per­sonal. We had a read­ing that I wrote myself.

Wed­ding venue styling and details:

The venue dec­o­ra­tions were already set up but we had a movie theme with table names and char­ac­ters for each of our guests.

Wed­ding music and entertainment:

We had a Frank Sina­tra style singer at first and a DJ with our cho­sen songs to fin­ish off the day.

Mem­o­rable wed­ding day moments:

The whole day was just perfect.

Wed­ding day advice:

Do your own thing and don’t be swayed by anyone..
