Leah is an Investment Consultant and Rory is a Lawyer. The couple met at a wedding before going on a date a month later. They tied the knot in an intimate stylish wedding in London at the Lambeth Town Hall surrounded by family and plan to have a bigger ceremony in France in September.
The best part of our day was….
Drinking champagne on an extremely hot day in London, signaling we were officially hitched. And of course, Rory’s speech.
We choose to get married at…
Lambeth Town Hall surrounded by family. That was the legal part. This September, we’re flying our vicar out to the south of France for a ceremony and big bash.
I knew I found ‘The One’ when…
I gave myself one day to find the outfits. For London, I settled for a white tuxedo suit from The Deck, feather top from 16Arlington and Louboutin stilettos. The September outfit is still a secret.
The most enjoyable moments of planning were…
How kind everyone is. Kendra from the Wedding Edition introduced us to nearly all of the suppliers for the London wedding. Whilst a magnificent lady and family friend is helping us out in France.
The hardest part of planning was…
Running out of time. It’s never the end of the world. I bought a beautiful necklace from Aligheri’s London studio the day before the wedding.
The best accounts to follow on Instagram for big-day inspo are…
The Fall Bride. I bought a beautiful hair piece from them. Also, The Anti-Bride.
The best person to follow on Pinterest for bridal inspo is…
I’m not great at social media, so I probably couldn’t name an influencer. We used mood boards to show our suppliers what we liked.
My top three tips for any couple would be…
I just have one, which my parents gave us. Make sure wedding planning doesn’t become all encompassing. Give yourselves some time out. Head down to the pub for a bottle of wine.
If I was able to do it all over again, the one thing I would change is…
To overdo it on the champagne.
