A look at the day from start to finish
Bethan and Lloyd’s wedding was nothing short of EPIC! Think Lake Cruises, endless food, and a Champagne Tower. Honestly, what more could you ask for?
Their weekend kicked off on the Friday evening with a relaxed buffet at the Boat House, giving both families a chance to kick back and enjoy some quiet time before the wedding madness kicked in.
On the big day the preparation started early with Champagne flowing in abundance. The instagram famous Stacey Marie MUA and Phillippa Anne from Studio 72 were doing the ladies make up and the equally instagram famous Hannah Taylor was on hair duties. How amazing do they all look!!
The ceremony was outdoors on the dreamy Lake View Terrace and it was just stunning. Hosted by Helen from Your Best Life Celebrant and with gorgeous florals from Walter & Blossom and styling by Stories of Events, we KNEW it was going to be something special.
We’ve got to give Lloyd and his groomsmen their moment too—looking seriously sharp, don’t you think?
Following the ceremony guests made their way back up the to the barn for drinks, canapés and photos by the very talented Jo Greenfield.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the barn, the final touches were coming together to create the dreamiest setting. With a showstopper cake by Kelly at Wren Cake Design and elegant drapes and lighting from Emma Jane Events, we think you’ll agree—it looked absolutely sensational.
As the drinks flowed and the dance floor heated up, it was soon time for evening food. The jerk chicken pots, coconut rice and peas, and crushed new potatoes with garlic mayo and chimichurri were a roaring success and we couldn't get them out quick enough! Our team walked them around in little easy to eat pots so it didn't matter whether you were at the bar, sat down in the lounge or you were up on the dance floor - no one missed out!
Soon it was time for a quick dress change and the champagne tower (no such thing as too much champagne, right?)
The evening ended with the dance floor full of guests dancing to their amazing band Yubaba and DJ Flex.
