Wedding Fayre at Southend Barns ...

Lisa George Events organised a Wedding Fayre this weekend (Sept 9), at the Southend Barns in Donnington. This is a relatively new venue that was renovated this year. Brides had booked their weddings for this summer (in hopes that it would be done). And boy is it done. Their shrubs and flowers are blooming and everything looks like it's been their years. Southend has two barns; one to be married and one to eat and party. Unusual, to say the least, which avoids the "hour changeover" that many venues suffer.

The Vintage Village Wedding ... Boxgrove Priory

Lucy and Steve planned and organised their wedding to the last tea cup. Lucy spent 2 years collecting vintage tea cups to hold sweeties after the wedding breakfast. She also made 210 metres of bunting to hang from the rafters. He bought her a tea pot with their name Baker-Smith and a paper cup-out gift (I photographed it below to show my husband how sweet some men can be ;0)

Anyway, it was a wonderful day at Fishbourne Church (see the fields behind the church) and Boxgrove Village Hall and Priory for family shots. What a great day and a sweet couple. May they have many years of happiness.

Spread Eagle Hotel Wedding

Louisa and Tom, the blondest couple I have ever met, married each other on August 31, 2012 at the Spread Eagle Hotel.  August gave a late push for Summer and it was hot .. very hot.  While Louisa calmly got ready in her sprawling Jacobean three-roomed suite, Tom was across the way in the boys annex.  The day unfolded with great ease and the couple enjoyed every minute. Group shots got a little crazy, but there were 28 groups on the list!  Great fun and I left them in good spirits.  Congratulations Louisa and Tom.
