A SUMMERHOUSE WEDDING IN W9

This intimate London affair made me realise just how quickly two perfect strangers can become your friends. I had a beautiful day at Lynda & Blair’s Maida Vale wedding, starting off in Paddington, listening to The XX in the car on the way to the ceremony with the girls, a colourful canal boat ride to Little Venice and a very crafty reception at the bright and beautiful Summerhouse. It rained & shone all day long and everyone pulled together for a little adventure. It was truly a treat.

Adrian Benn, the gregarious guitarist, provided the music…

I am always so grateful to share days like these with such lovely individuals. Lynda & Blair, you really are very fantastic which is why I cried my way through most of your wedding. I promise they were happy tears though, so thank you again for having me.

Dress: Jenny Packham // Venue: The Summerhouse, Maida Vale // Guitarist: The Amazing Adrian Benn // Planner: Rebecca at Harlequin & Romance // All the pretty little details: Little Paper Head.

Up next is a Little Venice engagement session, seeing as we’re over this side of town and we’ll see if we can squeeze in a couple more weddings before the year is out too.

    When I first met Esme & Leo, we sat talking about their wedding at a local café in Hampstead and Chris Martin walked in. Cool as anything, they barely noticed as I grinning, went bright red. Esme then mentioned that he was very lovely and that she’d worked with his wife before… his wife being Gwyneth Paltrow. I don’t think I’ve ever met two cooler individuals than these two and their wedding in St Tropez, was of course, the coolest of occasions.

    I am always enamoured with nights like this one.

    An evening at home with my husband, in our little London flat, sat outside under the heater on the terrace, listening to our neighbour’s winter concert, with a bottle of Oyster Bay. Feeling alive and truly grateful for life and love, forever surprised at how sweet London can be.

    It’s been a phenomenal start to the year. I am already overwhelmed by what’s in store, but overwhelmed in the best way possible.
