I am going to begin with sharing Polly and Teodora’s advice as I think it perfectly sums up their colourful and fun William Morris Gallery<\/a> wedding in London<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t take yourselves or the occasion too seriously\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How brilliant is that? I can’t recommend this approach enough to have a stress-free and enjoyable wedding planning experience. Onto their days themselves. First up they had their ceremony in Walthamstow, followed by a party at Signature Brewery. I love the colourful touches and cute balloons!<\/p>\n

A few days later they headed to the family home in Leicestershire<\/a> for their celebrations in a pretty marquee with rustic touches. Polly and Teodora both looked incredible in their chosen outfits, plus there were sunflower bouquets and some seriously amazing food! It’s lovely to hear how they incorporated Romanian elements throughout both days too.<\/p>\n

William Morris Gallery Wedding<\/em><\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

We flipped a coin on our anniversary in 2018 to decide who would be the one to propose. Teo \u201cwon\u201d and proposed to Polly in Eze, South of France<\/strong> the following year.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

We split our wedding into two parts<\/strong>. The first (14 July 2021) involved the ceremony and reception<\/strong> which we wanted to do locally where we live in Walthamstow, London. We were keen for it to reflect us, be relatively informal and involve our nearest and dearest.<\/p>\n

The second part was hosted by Polly\u2019s parents at her family home in Leicestershire<\/strong> (17 July 2021). This was more elaborate and formal with a marquee and sit-down dinner but still had a lot of input from us to make sure it felt like our party!<\/p>\n

Teo is originally from Bucharest and we were keen to have lots of Romanian elements<\/strong> throughout both days.<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

The ceremony and reception in Walthamstow cost around \u00a315,000<\/strong> all in.<\/p>\n

We were very fortunate to have Polly\u2019s parents pay for the majority of the celebration party in Leicestershire so not sure of the budget for that.<\/p>\n
