\"Lila\u2019s<\/p>\n

We’re headed to Lila\u2019s Wood<\/a> in Buckinghamshire<\/a> today for the enchanted woodland wedding<\/a> of Chloe and Catherine, who tied the knot on the 31st August 2019. Their day was really magical, with whimsical atmosphere and festival vibes all round<\/em>.<\/p>\n

These two totally pulled out all the stops to give their guests a celebration to remember, from all the fantastic DIY decorations they added (table centres, signs, favours and more), to the brilliant campervan, games and glamping. It really looked like a fantastic time was had by all.<\/p>\n

Do look out for the super beautiful attire, the pretty florals and a delicious cake table too.\u00a0 What a treat it is to share Two-D Photography<\/a>‘s stunning film and images today, thanks for sharing guys.<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

We met in London in 2012; Cath\u2019s housemate had lost her keys, so she met her in central London on her way back from a birthday party. Obviously, she stayed out with their friend until the early hours and stumbled across two crazy dancing sisters. Chloe turned out to be little shorter than Cath initially thought as she stepped down from a staged part of the club at the end of the night. Not phased, we dated whilst both living in London and so places began to hold special memories of our first year. The Queen of Hoxton in Shoreditch, Regents Park and the Olympic Park which Cath\u2019s flat overlooked.<\/p>\n

Chloe planned a treasure hunt of clues, nearly 2 years to the day prior to our wedding day. On the 30th of August 2017 Chloe fooled Cath into thinking they were meeting our friends. Starting at the street next to the bar where we first met; photo post it cards of clues to our next spot, where had our first date, nights out and laughs; then finally to the Orbital tower at the Olympic Park.<\/p>\n

Chloe had contacted the events manager for a special request to propose on the viewing platform shortly after closing. We are not the most comfortable with public displays of affection and so having a private opportunity in a normally busy public space was perfect to say the least. We met the staff member who took us up; a view over the whole of London, Chloe got out a ring box made out of Lego and asked the question we had both been wanting to ask for a while. Cath said yes and the lovely staff at the Orbital met us with a glass of bubbly to take our first cheers into the rest of our lives together.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

To create the best wedding any of our guest have ever\/ will ever go to in their lives!!<\/p>\n

We wanted to have an alternative wedding as this wasn\u2019t a position Chloe and I saw ourselves being in. We grow up and always imagine yourselves marrying a man and the typical fairy tale. But we fell in love with each other for who we are not what we are. We thought where and what can make our day most magical for us. We love to have fun and started to think a festival style wedding suited us down to the ground. So, we went on the hunt for the perfect place and finally found it. As soon as we saw Lila\u2019s Wood we just fell in love. It was everything we were looking for and nothing else came close. It was a massive stretch for us but one I don\u2019t regret at all. From there it was all about making the day as magical and as fun as it could be (and with as much alcohol as we can squeeze in!!).<\/p>\n
