Fun Crockwell Farm Wedding with White & Green Blooms

A very warm welcome to Alice and Jon who are kindly sharing with us their sensational wedding day at Crockwell Farm. Their day was totally divine, from the super stylish outfits to the pretty signage and elegant marquee reception.

I especially love the white and green florals, the sparkler exit and their romantic portraits in the gardens. Oh my. This truly was a day filled with love and laughter.

Thanks ever so much to Amara Grace Photography for sharing with us these beautiful captures.

Memorable Moments

The wedding day was one of the best day of our lives. Seeing our Daughter Bonnie walk down the aisle was incredible, along with Jon’s Daughters Tillie and Scarlett and my 2 best friends – Brogan and Jess.

The day was pure fun from start to finish, and we could not have wished for a better day! The planning was intense, but we would do it all again in a heartbeat!

We personally wrote our vows, and they made the ceremony feel so personal. We were able to have our dream wedding ceremony – outdoors! And the weather stayed dry 😀

The singing waiters were incredible, and they made the wedding breakfast one to remember. Guests are still commenting on them now!!

It was an amazing day.

Advice For Other Couples

Yes, weddings need a budget, but I can honestly say you might regret not having something present on your wedding day, but you won’t regret having it there! We covered everything in our planning, and this made the day exactly what we wanted it to be. We went over our budget considerably, but we wouldn’t change it for the world!

When planning a wedding, be strict on who you want to attend. Don’t invite people because you feel you have to – it isn’t a birthday party!

And the most important thing, TAKE TIME TO YOURSELVES ON THE DAY. IT IS THE QUICKEST DAY EVER, BUT THE BEST. YOU BLINK, YOU MISS IT!!!

How extraordinary from beginning to end, wow!

Thanks ever so much to Alice and Jon for sharing with us their epic Crockwell Farm story.

Kids at weddings: should you invite them and how to make it work (or not)

One of the first decisions couples face when planning their wedding is whether to invite kids. Children can bring something special to the event and might even have their own roles as ring bearers or flower girls, but they also come with extra planning considerations. There’s no right or wrong answer. It’s your wedding after […]
