Discussing their wedding day before he had even proposed, Rhiannon and Joshua knew from day one that they were going to spend the rest of their lives together.

Ellingham I Do’s:

Bursting with elegance, charm and character, it was Northumberland's most beautiful and exclusive venue, Ellingham Hall, that stole the couple’s hearts from the moment they laid eyes on it.

Standing before them was the most magical wedding destination they could have ever imagined for their wedding day; with exquisite grounds and an enchanting ambience, there’s no surprise why Rhiannon and Joshua fell in love with everything that Ellingham Hall offered.

“We agreed early on that we wanted to go for orange, red and blue colours which decided our Autumnal theme.” - Rhiannon

The couple along with their guests spilled into the reception room as they were greeted by the natural beauty of their chosen venue. Chiavari chairs at either side of the stunning chandeliers added a modern touch to their ceremony setting.

The One:

“I lost count on how many dresses I had tried on - if you aren’t certain, take a little time and make a second appointment. It was only on my second trip to First Glance that I finally felt like I had found the right one!” - Rhiannon

The bride stepped out in a stunning Ronald Joyce dramatic ballgown, complete with intricately embellished waistband and sweetheart neckline.

The lace bodice and full skirt brought the wow factor, while her bridal look was complemented perfectly by her beautiful bridesmaids dressed in a deep shade of red.

Photographer Love:

After losing all hope of finding their perfect photographer, it wasn’t until Rhiannon and Joshua met Chocolate Chip Photography, at a wedding fair, where they instantly knew they had found what they had been searching for.

“Our photographers accommodated us perfectly – they made us feel so relaxed and at home.” - The Bride

Delivering the most exquisite photography, the newlyweds were blown away by the breath-taking images they received by Chocolate Chip.

The Groom’s Advice:

“You can both get into it and make it your day if you’re willing to compromise on a couple of elements. My now-wife would never originally have envisioned the nerdy table names and fun input from me - on the day and looking back, she loved it and wouldn’t want it any other way.”
