A Glorious Real Wedding at Goodnestone Park

EMILY AND MAX HELD A STYLISH AND RELAXED CELEBRATION

We thought we had decided on another venue, but heading back to London on the train after seeing it, an Instagram advert for Goodnestone popped up on my phone and it looked incredible.

We booked a viewing for a week later,met Ronnie the house manager there and it was everything we had been looking for.

 

Dress

Choosing my Dress

I went to three shops in a day, and didn’t like any of the dresses I tried. Then, I saw an influencer at a wedding and she was wearing this lovely dress and had tagged it. It was from a shop called Halo & Wren in Hemel Hempstead, so I went for a day trip with my sister and bridesmaids and tried on lots of their styles but the one I had seen was the perfect one for me! I felt so comfortable and myself in it.

Our Wonderful Caterers

We had The Flavour Kitchen doing our catering. They were absolutely incredible and the food was amazing! We really wanted it to be relaxed, so we were keen to have sharing plates and also Italian (our favourite cuisine.) From the moment we did the food tasting in Sinead’s kitchen she made us feel at home!

We also had Barney & The Pizza for our evening food, which was the perfect drunken nibble for our guests.Everyone was raving about it after!

We were able to bring in our own wine and toast drinks which was not only a huge cost saving but meant we could personalise our choice. Our fizz for the toast was my favourite sparkling wine from Kent – Chapel Down’s English Rose. My middle name is Rose too so it felt fitting.

The Flowers

See Rose Floral Design created our flowers for us. I can’t recommend Clare enough. I really don’t have much experience or knowledge of flowers and Clare really did everything I wanted and more! We had a lovely initial phone call and I described what I was looking for. She sent over some pictures and it was exactly what I had envisioned!

Our Photography

James Richard was our photographer. It was the easiest decision out of everything, we saw some of his work and immediately booked a call. Once we left that first call we knew he was the photographer for us, we really connected and just felt really comfortable with him.
