I’m thrilled to share Georgia and Charles’ South Farm wedding in Cambridgeshire, which took place on July 21st, 2019. The first thing that caught my eye was the stunning display of seasonal flowers – the vibrant colors really brought the images to life! The couple’s description of their day as ‘full of love, laughter, and color’ perfectly captures the joy that shines through in the beautiful photos taken by Miracle Moments. I’m grateful to be able to share these with you today.
What struck me most was the bridesmaids’ dresses, which added a pop of blue and lilac against the colorful backdrop of bouquets. Georgia’s stunning Stella York gown, complete with a floral veil, was the perfect complement to her overall look. The groomsmen, meanwhile, looked dashing in their green tweed suits.
Be sure to take note of some of the creative touches that added an extra layer of magic to the day – think acrylic signs, a decadent cake table, smoke bombs, and a personalized denim jacket. It all came together to create a truly beautiful celebration.
The Proposal
His first proposal message to me actually preceded any grand romantic gestures! Little did I know that this initial message would be followed by a real-life scene set in New York City – a city that holds a special place in my heart, thanks to the iconic film ‘Serendipity.’ For those familiar with the movie’s ending, you’ll recall the picturesque Central Park ice skating rink as the setting. Charlie, being the romantic that he is, initially planned to propose mid-skate, but his concern about a loose ring on the rink (not to mention my own clumsiness) led him to revise his plan. Instead, he opted for a horse-drawn carriage ride around Central Park, hoping to find a more secure spot to ask for my hand in marriage. As we approached the ice skating rink, Charlie made what would become the most expensive and memorable mistake of his life: asking me to be his wife!
The Vision
As we envisioned our special day, we sought to infuse it with the essence of ourselves and our relationship. We’re profoundly grateful for the kindness and creativity of our friends and suppliers, who went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. Every individual played a crucial role in making our wedding an unforgettable celebration.The venue itself was a perfect reflection of our roots and aspirations. The rustic charm reminded us of where we come from – Cambridgeshire for Charlie, and Cornwall for me. The serene stream on the property tied back to my childhood connection with water. Our shared desire for a farm lifestyle in the future also resonated deeply.Once we’d found the ideal venue, we embarked on a search for suppliers who shared our values. My dear friend Molly lent her talents as singer and musician, while Charlie’s friend Eoin kept the dance floor lively as our DJ. Gina’s incredible cake and macaron tower were the sweetest treats, while Rachel’s artistic touch brought my denim jacket to life. Frances, my trusted hairdresser, helped me and my closest friends look their absolute best.As we sought out suppliers, Instagram proved to be a valuable resource, leading us to discover new talent. Ultimately, our guiding principle was looking for individuals with great attitudes. We wanted every aspect of our wedding day to radiate love and positivity, and we trusted that our suppliers would bring the same energy to their roles.

The Planning Process
Our approach began by establishing a strong foundation at the event location, allowing us to develop a cohesive plan that centered around its unique characteristics.
Your Outfits & Accessories
My big day was made even more special with the perfect attire. My stunning wedding gown, designed by renowned label Stella York and acquired from esteemed boutique The Tailor’s Cat in Cambridge, exceeded my wildest expectations. Meanwhile, Charlie stunned in his elegant green tweed ensemble courtesy of Moss Bros., a classic choice that complemented his dashing personality.
Groomsmen
Beauty
With the help of my trusted hairstylist Frances White and talented makeup artist Elly @ellyjaynemakeup, we aimed to create a relaxed and radiant atmosphere on our special day. Rather than dictating a specific hairstyle for our bridesmaids, I prioritized making them feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. Each of the girls opted for a look that made her feel like the best version of herself, and they all looked stunning. We opted for a natural, sun-kissed makeup look that left us feeling like queens – Frances and Elly truly outdid themselves, capturing the essence of Beyoncé’s effortless glamour.
