Natasha and James were married at Offley Place in April 2022. Their fairy began when they met online in 2017 and fast forward a few years later, James proposed in Spain after losing a game of UNO! (What a way to soften the blow!).
Their wedding ceremony was held in front of 60 of their closest friends and family, in our magical, rustic conservatory. Their reception and evening party was also held in the conservatory.
They were attracted to Offley Place because of its understated beauty! Louise was on hand as their wedding planner to help Natasha and James. With her supportive and friendly demeanour, Louise made sure that all the details of their wedding were taken care of so that Natasha and James could focus on enjoying the exciting journey of planning their big day.
Natasha wore a WED2BE dress in a classic style which she fell in love with as soon as she tried it on. James and his groomsmen opted for Cavani suits from Mr Mackay’s which were the perfect fit and really complimented the style of the day. The couple added a unique twist to their day by having a space hopper race on the grounds outside- this made for some awesome photos and a really memorable moment for all of their guests.
The couple’s favourite moment in the day was having their children by their side while they made the big commitment to each other. After the big day was done, the newly wedded happy couple jetted off to New York for their honeymoon!
When asked to give some advice to newly engaged couples they said to make sure you enjoy every second of the day as it goes by so fast! Take 10 minutes as a couple and just watch your guests from afar and take in the wonderful day you planned and executed together!
Here are the wonderful suppliers that helped to make Natasha and James’s day a reality:
Sam Lewis Band: They were great! So relaxed and all our guests loved them and they really added to the atmosphere of the day
The Flowerpot Florist: They supplied flowers and cake for the big day. Sue at the flowerpot went above and beyond on what was a super stressful wedding week. The flowers were beautiful and more than I ever expected. So bright!
The Blue Rinse Band: Marie and Martin supplied the neon lighting for the wedding, and their friendly and approachable nature made them so fun to work with!
The Craft Lab: They supplied wedding day newspapers which were something a bit different and Natasha and James LOVED them! Gorgeous reminder and keepsake of our big day forever!
Nine Embers Films: Michael’s film of our day is something I will treasure forever. He managed to get in all the special details and he didn’t miss out on any of the bits I wanted to remember and look back on. He works great alongside Rafe and was a pleasure to have with us on our special day.
Rafe Abrook Photography: Natasha knew before she even met James that if she ever got married she would want Rafe to photograph her wedding- and boy he didn’t disappoint! He did an excellent job of keeping her calm and catching all the moments you wouldn’t ever want to forget! Watch out when he suggests you do daft stuff like ride space hoppers in your wedding dress- The photos come out pretty cool!
Mr Mackay’s suits: He made sure all the groomsmen and page boys looked super. The suits were gorgeous and he couldn’t have done more to make the day just perfect!
