Birling Manor Wedding

This wedding came to us via a wedding planner. Not everyone has the time to plan their own nuptials so they employ the services of an intermediary.

Nicola Jones does weddings. She is great. Tiny, calm and additionally at the time, heavily pregnant. Hats off to her, she managed the entire day without a single feather getting ruffled when all about her, others were losing theirs. The best go-to person with a clipboard I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Am I getting my sayings mixed up again?

Can you imagine what it takes to coordinate a large wedding in a venue that is an empty shell, not a staffed venue?

Wedding Day morning set up sounds a bit like this.

Nicola, do you know where the bride wants the......

Catering?
Wine?
Marquee?
Cake?
Parking?
Candles?
Bows on chairs?
Napkins?
Favours?
Card table?
Bar?
Flunkies?
Flowers? (that bit was me )
Glasses?
Tealights?

It all came together and it all looked beautiful. Just beautiful.

A seaside summer wedding.

When Sukhey came to visit for her wedding consultation, it was February. To say it was cold is an understatement. A florist shop in winter is probably one of the coldest places in existence apart from the dark side of the moon.

We managed to come up with a plan between bouts of shivering and hot drinks.

Sukhey's fiancee was our local postman. Nicest chap on earth, wore shorts all year round. Secret SAS training I imagine. We were very sad when his round got changed and we had a new postie who was a right grumpy b*****d.

Their wedding was full of summery flowers, delphiniums, daisies, jam jars and seashells. To be held at the legendary Grand Hotel.

The day arrived and it was a flurry of bridesmaids, jam jars and sunshine.

Enjoy the pictures from local Brighton photographer Sarah Reeve.
