Introducing Amelia and Sam and their glorious 10-11 Carlton House Terrace<\/a> wedding in central London<\/a>. I really love their approach to wedding planning after rearranging three times, which was to focus on bringing together their loved ones. With good food, good music and drinks of course!<\/p>\n

They kept their decor really pared back which allowed their venue to shine. But they did add some lovely touches, think navy bridesmaid dresses, pretty blooms and botanical stationery. It also goes without saying that Amelia and Sam both looked amazing and I also spied some lovely shoes by WWW wedding supplier Rainbow Club<\/a>. Yay!<\/p>\n

10-11 Carlton House Terrace Wedding<\/em><\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

We had just arrived in New York<\/strong> in August 2019 and were getting ready in our hotel room to go out and explore the city. Sam casually told me there was something in his washbag for me\u2026 I went to get it and then he proposed. It was great to do at the start of the trip so we could spend the rest of the time celebrating<\/strong> and getting excited for the wedding.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

Having rearranged the wedding 3 times<\/strong> due to Covid-19 our vision was just really to have all of our friends and family together in one place and to celebrate and have a good time! We knew we wanted a London wedding<\/a> having lived here together for 10 years. We didn\u2019t want anything to feel too serious or formal and wanted to spend money on the things that we cared about – good food, good music and drinks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Wow! 10-11 Carlton House Terrace<\/strong> was such a hidden gem! You can\u2019t get more central in London but it was somehow so quiet, and it\u2019s such an incredibly beautiful venue we didn\u2019t have to spend any money on decorations. The people were absolutely incredible – we felt in very safe hands the whole way through.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

Amelia – Bought a Mori Lee<\/strong> (Madeline Gardner) wedding dress when I was back in my home town for the weekend. It also happened to be in the sale which was lucky too!<\/p>\n

Sam – Wanted a suit that could be worn again, and went for one from Reiss<\/strong> (that was tailored), a Liberty print tie and shoes from Loake.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

The ceremony was in the music room of the venue. Our friend Milly from university sang \u2018Ingrid Michaelson- The Way I Am<\/strong>\u2019 as I walked down the aisle. Sam and I couldn\u2019t stop smiling the whole way through, and there was a lot of cheering and clapping when we made it official. Seeing a full room of people (yet alone our favourite people) was amazing after the last few years too.<\/p>\n

Your Photographer & Filmmaker<\/h3>\n

Grace Pham Photography – Grace was AMAZING. We loved her informal, beautiful style and she made us feel so comfortable<\/strong>. The photos captured every feeling from the day. We didn\u2019t want to spend loads of time away from the wedding taking lots of formal photos, but did nip out after dinner for some photos at dusk just the 2 of us and we loved the results in such a great light with such a London-looking background.<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor<\/h3>\n

Every room in the venue was so beautiful we didn\u2019t need much decoration<\/strong>. We didn\u2019t really choose a colour theme but in the end there was a lot of navy and pinks\/greens\/whites.<\/p>\n

Flowers<\/strong> – Grace & Thorn\u2019s \u2018ready to wear\u2019 flowers and they were even more amazing than we expected.<\/p>\n

Cake <\/strong>– Waitrose, with some added fruit and flowers from the venue.<\/p>\n
