Welcome to Andreas Wedding

Family Wedding

Does it get any better?

A wedding, surrounded by family and friends.

At least for Tricia and Doug, the day was perfect!

Dear Victoria,
I am finally getting around to thanking you for making our wedding day even more special than I could have imagined. I really wanted a wedding without all of the typical stress so that we could focus on each other and our children. You helped us prepare every step of the way.  

I have never been involved in the planning of a wedding, so I really needed that.  The ceremony and the setting were simply beautiful. I loved hearing the sound of the water below us. Even my girls were touched by the ceremony- I am not sure if you noticed but they both had tears in their eyes during parts of the ceremony. 

Thank you for surprising us with the part involving the children and the toast. I has not asked for that but it was exactly what I wanted. This was a huge day for the children too -so thank you for formally acknowledging them and their importance to us. We also loved having the cake outside on the bridge.  The cake was more beautiful than I expected - and delicious too.  

You and Guy were such gracious hosts - thank you for allowing us to use your home.  Again, it was beautiful. Please also thank Guy for the wonderful photos.  I will cherish those forever. 

Thanks again for making our day so special! Take care, Tricia

Prepare To Be Stunned... By Rime Arodaky's Designs

I haven't been blown away by a Wedding dress designer for a while now, actually since meeting Zaeem Jamal! Until I saw the designs of Rime Arodaky for the first time and wow, was I blown away.  "Rime's bride is effortless, wild, confident and rock'n'roll. All her dresses are made in France with a high end choice of laces and fabrics. To give an edge and some attitude to her brides would be her mantra".  It is so easy to reach for the same old favourites and follow in the footsteps of others when Wedding dress shopping so I hope these images make you feel as inspired as I did. I think they are such fresh designs with a fabulous air of both classical and sexy.

Rime Arodaky's philosophy says it all...

My New Favourite Website!

I have a new favourite website and I just had to share it with you all... take a peak at Astley Clarke's create your own stacking rings. This website does however come with a warning, you can spend hours playing on it... wishfully creating your own masterpiece! They would make the perfect bridesmaid / mother of the bride present or, if you are feeling really cheeky, perhaps a good one for your Maid of Honour to 'leak' to your husband as a Wedding Present for yourself.  But be quick... they have a 60% sale on at the moment.

Prices start from £75 (from £45 in the current sale) and are available at Astley Clarke.

A Classic and Romantic Real Wedding

Welcome to Danielle and Sean's Wedding a classic and beautiful day with classic styling and traditional, yet romantic, touches.  The fabulous venue, Stanton House Hotel, worked so well for the couple and the bridal party all seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as the bride and groom.  

"Our wedding day meant the world to us, being able to stand in front of family and friends and say our vows was a feeling we will never forget. I will never forget the moment the doors opened and the sound of the string quartet flooded the room. All that planning and waiting and it's finally here I'm actually going to marry the man of my dreams." Danielle.

Huge thanks to the wonderful Paul Smith Studios for supplying the fantastic photographs.
