Emma & Luke

Contemporary colour at Helmingham Hall

married at Helmingham Hall

Emma and Luke chose to book our Wedding Day Management service, meaning we began working together with 8 weeks to go until their big day. We swung into action to make sure everything that Emma and Luke had been planning for so many months came beautifully to fruition.

As it happened, we needed to put plan B into action thanks to a sudden and pretty dramatic June downpour, but we pride ourselves on being unflappable and practical. We made sure everything was handled smoothly so that the couple and their guests didn’t feel at all stressed.

Emma and Luke planned a beautifully bright and refined wedding, with clever use of colour that made things pop while still remaining understated and elegant. I loved their style! The marquee set up in the grounds of Helmingham Hall was dominated by a fabulous statement floral chandelier, and there were meadow style top table arrangements of naturally wild flowers that echoed those in the gardens of the venue.

Thankfully there were bright skies in the afternoon which led to some stunning photographs, before the party got going with live music that had everybody dancing.

Colourful but classy, as much outdoors as possible
