Boho & Ethereal Nanpantan Hall Wedding With Circle Ceremony

There is just so much to love about WWW readers Tom and Rosie’s Nanpantan Hall wedding held in Leicestershire. Not only did they have a dramatic circle wedding ceremony surrounded by all of their loved ones against a moon gate flower arch. But, they also had a really special reception indoors in the hall too. Wow!

Their wedding style was all elegant, boho and ethereal, complete with statement outfit choices and bountiful blooms. I also love that everyone danced the night away alfresco under a canopy of festoon lights, it looked so magical.

We have Aden Priest Photography to thank for sharing with us these mesmerising shots of a very memorable wedding day.

Nanpantan Hall Wedding

The Proposal

In Sintra in Portugal! We had been learning to surf in the mornings and then walking around the amazing Sintra National Park in the afternoons. He left the ring on my pillow and when I saw it I turned around and he was on one knee – we both cried!

The Vision

Colourful, joyful, relaxed!

The Venue

Nanpantan Hall, Loughborough

Your Outfits

Bride: Dress, veil, pearl tiara and shoes came from Bridal Rogue Gallery in York. I really loved the 1920s style design and wanted something super simple and elegant and Bridal Rogue Gallery were amazing and made the whole process so special.

Bride Jacket: My ‘something blue’ surprise gift from my older sister at Love Birds, Wedding & Events, given to me on the morning of my wedding.

Tom and Groomsmen: Blue 3 piece suit from Moss Bros. My Dad wore his own vintage waistcoat from his wedding day.

Bridesmaids: 2 piece outfit from Mix Bridal. We searched all over the UK for something like this but ended up ordering them from an online international company. We had them made-to-measure for each bridesmaid.

Bridesmaid jackets: custom painted jackets created by my sister at Love Birds, Wedding & Events.

Pageboys: Their cute outfits came from John Lewis, their suede shoes were from Joules.

Mother-of-the Bride: My mum’s dress came from a boutique in Leeds. Angel Brides.

The Ceremony & Music

My friend played the piano (Einaudi Le Onde) as I walked down the aisle and in the evening we had a brilliant band called ‘Kibitz’ from Leeds and a great DJ- Ed.

Your Photographer & Filmmaker

Aden Priest was our photographer – absolutely brilliant, made us feel so relaxed and the pictures are just amazing and really show the emotions of the whole day.

The Styling & Decor

My amazing sister at Love Birds Weddings and Events helped me to style it all and me and both my sisters spent the few days leading up to the wedding doing all the flowers ourselves – it was so fun!

The lovely Sally-Anne made our bouquets and delivered them in the morning. All the styling and props came from my sister and the whole family pitched in making things from the giant shepherd’s hooks for the outdoor lighting to collecting vintage glasses!

It was a family effort with styling inspiration and materials coming from Love Birds. We used my late Nana’s mirror for the seating plan.

The Honeymoon

We went to the Isle of Skye and spent a misty week in a croft cabin by the sea, going for pub lunches and walks – bliss!

A few weeks later we went for 2 weeks in southern Italy and stayed in a trulli house near Alborobello, eating pizza and chilling in the pool – also bliss!

5 days after we got back from Italy we moved to Jordan where we live now – a very busy summer!

Memorable Moments

Dad seeing me in my dress – the tears began…
Speeches, all of the speeches were just incredible and I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much in one day – with happiness!
Dancing all night, barefoot on a rug outside with everyone we love – the best!

Advice For Other Couples

Relax, those small things you’re worrying about will be the things you forget about completely on the day.

Let other people organise things and budget for paying for professionals to help you out. Don’t try to do EVERYTHING yourselves, you want to be able to just relax and enjoy the day.

We spent more than we had initially intended but paying a bit extra to make sure no one in the family was worrying too much about getting things organised on the day was so worth it!
