Oh my!!! What a fantastic wedding it was today! I have been working with my couple for the best part of a year to help create a really personal, relaxed and fun ceremony.
When I arrive at a venue on a wedding day, it is a hive of activity, with suppliers setting up, venue staff organising things and often there are some very early guests, but I just love this.
As soon as I chatted to this couple I knew they were my kind of people (especially when the bride shares a taste for my favourite ginger wine!).
I love working with all of my venues but being able to step foot back into the setting where I got married myself, is a whole different ball game!

So what is a 'Handfasting'? Well essentially, it is a binding of the hands that originates from an ancient Celtic tradition, and is where the popular terms "Tying the knot" and "Bound in Matrimony" derive from.
Hmmm the smell of pine needles, mulled wine and gingerbread baking - it's Christmas all wrapped up in a few fragrances, but how do you create a festive atmos at your December wedding?
Having a naming ceremony is very personal to your own requirements, it can be as simple or as elaborate as you want it to be.
