Skylark in Winter

Ted and Vicki's wedding was in February 2018 at the Skylark Country and Golf Club on the outskirts of Whiteley near Fareham.

Bridal Prep was very calm and well organised with plenty of top food to set them up for the day.

Hair and makeup was done by one of Vicki's friends and she did an outstanding job and in plenty of time.

Ted and Vicki's cat "Alfie" came in for some food but quickly decided that his home was no place for a guy on this particular morning.

Vicki's bouquet was a huge arrangement of pink roses and was amazing.

Vicki's Mum was going to take Vicki up the aisle and give her away...

...and she was the proudest Mum in the World.

The girls looked absolutely stunning.

The weather was outstandingly good for a February wedding...


...and it was awesome to see the churchyard full of Winter flowers stretching their delightful colours up towards the welcome sun. Spring is at last on it's way.

As the girls formed up outside the church...

...the boys waited.

A few last words of encouragement from Mum...

...and it was time for Vicki to join Ted at the altar.

After the ceremony...

...the weather was just perfect - warm, still and very pretty.

Then it was time for confetti...

...and off to Skylark for their Reception.

Once at Skylark, Ted and Vicki spent a little time ...

...away from their guests




The room for their meal was beautifully decorated.

Ted and Vicki cut their cake before their meal...

...and their speeches were great...

...with just the right amount of embarrassment for Ted.

But when it came to Ted's speech, he pulled it out of the bag and said all the right things about Vicki.

Ted and Vicki's First Dance was lovely...

...with steps and twirls that wow'ed their guests.

Ted and Vicki had a fabulous day with outstanding weather. We wish them all the happiness in the World for their new life together.

Amazing April Weather at New Place

James and Millie had the most amazing weather for their mid-April wedding at New Place near Shirrell Heath in Hampshire.

It was warm sun, blue sky with flowers and blossom. Apart from the fact that the trees still had no leaves, anyone could have been forgiven for thinking it was a mid-summer's day.

Bridal Prep went without a hitch...

...and then it was time for the ceremony.

The whole day was full of fun and the moment of Dad giving away his daughter was no exception.

But there were also tender moments like when one of Millie's bridesmaids read her reading in the ceremony.

 Then it was outside on the lawn and patios to enjoy the weather...


...and off round the New Place grounds...

...for some private moments together.




Then it was time to get back with their guests...


...having fun in the sun..

...and a beer or two.

 There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere amongst the guests on the sunlit patio...

 ...and much laughter could be heard all day...

...especially during the speeches.





After perfect weather all day, we were treated to a beautiful evening sky.

The tossing of the bride's bouquet is not something we see very often...

...but these girls took it very seriously, much to the delight of the bridesmaid who caught the bouquet.

Their First Dance as a married couple was awesome...

...clearly a great deal of work had gone into it's preparation...

...and there was a huge cheer when they finished.

James and Millie had the most amazing fun-filled day, with perfect weather, wonderful guests and a even a live band for the evening.

It was awesome to be part of their wedding day and we wish them all the very best in their lives together.
