Joining me today are Lindsay and David, who share the story of their enchanting Norfolk beach wedding at Titchwell Manor during the summer season. Their whimsical celebration was a true delight, featuring bohemian-inspired decor, breathtaking floral arrangements, and stunning attire that added to the overall romance of the day. As vegans, Lindsay and David ensured that every aspect of their special day was plant-based, including the presence of their adorable pet dog Olive, who stole the show with her cuteness. From the romantic sunset portraits to the gorgeous dusky pink decorations, I have a feeling that you’ll be captivated by the beauty of their celebration in Norfolk. I’d like to extend my gratitude to Georgia Rachael for sharing these incredible shots of Lindsay and David’s beach wedding with us.
Norfolk Beach Wedding
The Proposal
As we’ve grown accustomed to life with our loyal companion Olive by our side, our trips to the North Norfolk coast have become a cherished annual tradition. One particular evening stands out – September 20th, 2019, as the sun dipped below the horizon on Holme-next-the-Sea’s picturesque beach. It was there that David seized the perfect moment to pop the question to Lindsay, and with her initial laughter, she joyfully agreed to be his wife.
The Vision
From the outset, our vision for the wedding was a relaxed gathering with loved ones. Since Norfolk wasn’t home turf for any of our close friends or family, we decided to make it a weekend-long celebration to maximize the fun. As committed vegans, it was crucial that our big day reflected our plant-based lifestyle. We also wanted our beloved dog Olive by our side during the ceremony – though we didn’t anticipate her enthusiastic howling would steal the show! Ultimately, our goal was for everyone to let loose, make new memories, and enjoy great food, drinks, music, and company while exploring a region of the UK that holds a special place in our hearts.
The Venue
Your Outfits
I recall my journey to find the perfect attire for our special day was marked by a sense of clarity and ease, particularly when it came to selecting dresses and suits that exuded effortless elegance. The discovery of Lillian West’s designs, with their relaxed yet sophisticated aesthetic, was a game-changer. Her creations embodied the very essence of what I had been searching for – comfort, confidence, and a touch of whimsy. The dress from Silver Sixpence Boutique in Towcester, curated by Lillian West, ultimately won my heart. Its simplicity and timelessness resonated deeply with me.My experience with Noble Fox was equally enlightening. Having worked with Phil MD @ Noble Fox for nearly a decade, I knew that his expertise would be invaluable in crafting the perfect wedding suits. His understanding of my vision and attention to detail resulted in an impeccable blue suit that not only made each groom feel at ease but also added a pop of color to our wedding photographs. The shawl lapel waistcoats were the perfect finishing touch, bringing the entire ensemble together with elegance and flair.
The Ceremony & Music
From the outset, we were both resolute that an outdoor wedding would be the perfect setting for our special day. Fortunately, this vision became a reality at Titchwell’s picturesque walled garden, where Little Lending Co and Floral Sistas brought the surroundings to life with their exceptional work. The ceremony was accompanied by the enchanting sounds of Truly Medley Deeply’s acoustic performance, which added an intimate touch to the proceedings.

The Styling & Decor
For our special day, we enlisted the expertise of Little Lending Co and Penny Baldry to bring our wedding styling vision to life. The floral arrangements, courtesy of Floral Sistas, featured a soothing palette with an abundance of lush greenery as its foundation. Given the personal touch that our furry family member Olive brings, it was only natural that sprigs of olive leaves found their way into the bouquets and were incorporated into the table settings, adding an extra layer of meaning to this already unforgettable celebration.
The Honeymoon
Savoring the serenity of the North Norfolk coast, we embarked on a two-week adventure, indulging in leisurely strolls along the shore with our trusty canine companion by our side. As we explored the picturesque beaches and quaint local pubs, we found ourselves rejuvenated by the region’s unique charm.
Memorable Moments
The memory of my father’s beaming smile as he gazed upon me in my wedding dress still takes my breath away. As he walked me down the aisle, his warmth and calm demeanor put my nerves at ease. It was truly special to share this moment with him. The ceremony was a masterpiece, thanks to our incredible vendors, Little Lending Co and Floral Sistas, who brought their A-game. The tables and decorations were nothing short of breathtaking, leaving me awestruck. Seeing myself in the dress for the first time was another highlight – it was as if my heart skipped a beat! After the ceremony, we enjoyed every moment of the celebration, surrounded by loved ones having fun, chatting, and laughing together. It was surreal knowing that we had worked tirelessly to create this unforgettable experience. We’re also deeply grateful to our talented photographer, Georgia, and videographer, Mike, for convincing us to take a sunset stroll on the beach – it resulted in some truly cinematic moments!
