14 May, 2022Our Real Wedding
Our wedding ceremony was held at St Peters ad Vincula Church in Coggeshall, and our reception venue was at Browning Bros beautiful Chalkney Water Meadows in White Colne. The Tipi, woods, lake, and overall surroundings were stunning. We had the most incredible three-day wedding, starting on the Friday with the bridal party staying at the Kingfisher log cabin which is on-site at Chalkney Water Meadows, which is just perfect, overlooking a lake where swans and other wildlife would come and say hello - it also has a fantastic hot tub!
The Groom and his lads stayed in the glamping bell tents. The staff at Browning Bros allowed us to be so creative and were so supportive and enthusiastic. We were thrilled when we asked if we could make our entrance on the Groom's motorbike and they said yes! The weather was stunning too, which helped!
Our wedding was a mix of vibes - boho/festival/rock n roll. The Groom kept to his own style with his suit and chose to wear a jacket he bought in New York the year before, while we were pregnant with our Son Archie. I chose a beautiful A-line dress called Wren by Evie Young, with lace and scrollwork creating a soft romantic scene. It had a sweetheart neckline and detachable illusion tiered bell sleeves in a silky tulle – OBSESSED!!

We made our entrance into our wedding breakfast to Status Quo's "Break the rules", complete with me banging away on a tambourine! Our caterers did us a delicious bbq, which was served to our tables, and then a hog roast in the evening.
We used one of the Groom's guitar cases for all of our guest cards and had decorated the tipi in white bunting, hanging wisteria, fried flowers, and eucalyptus (all cut down from our friends' tree in their garden). Our beautiful friend Courtney of "Ginger Kitchen" did our beautiful wedding cake - we kept it classic white with gold leaf and a stunning dried flower wreath to decorate.
Our friend's band, The Hot Shots, finished our night with an incredible two-hour set of pure classic rock n roll tunes! Our evening closed around the camp fire, eating s'mores and looking up at the stars. My only wish is that we could do it over and over again!
