I was so chuffed when Anna and Dan decided not to postpone their wedding due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, but instead decided it was more important for them to simply tie the knot now and solidify their family unit with Dan’s daughter Lacey. They decided an intimate wedding at their original venue- Pontlands Park in Chelmsford would be perfect right now. The big celebrations will be saved until 2022 when hopefully all their friends and extended family can join them.
I feel like I've gotten to know Anna and Dan so well through following each other on Instagram during the build up to the wedding, so it was SO amazing to finally meet them and share their incredible intimate wedding day with them. When I arrived I felt like we'd been friends fo ages which is such a lovely feeling.
I was so excited to be back at Pontlands Park. It's such a gorgeous venue, especially during the Autumn; the gardens and buildings are extra stunning this time of year.
I'd say Anna definitely isn't your typical bride haha. She literally couldn't wait to get her pristine white dress dirty in the mud outside! And she decided to keep it real and wear her converse as her 'something old' which I absolutely love.
I loved that Anna and Dan remained true to themselves when it came to planning their wedding and enjoying the day they wanted. I think it's so important to do this and always remember that it's your day. You can have whatever you want! There are no rules when it comes to styling and what you want to wear and even what photos you want to capture. (Ok there are may be a few rules when getting married during a pandemic though haha).
Anna has the coolest style! Her beautiful boho chic style Rembo Styling wedding dress suited her personality and style down to a tee. She looked INSANE. I love that Rembo Styling's slogan is:
"She is a dreamer who loves her Friends. Her world is Dynamic and Free, with no boundaries for happiness. Her Bohemian Chic style is a Natural Extension. She is pure and unique. Enjoying life to the fullest, in a spontaneous way."
And I literally couldn't think of a better way to describe Anna.
Her jewellery, gorgeous flowers with sunflowers and pampas grass, and her amazing embroidered denim jacket all tied in with her laid back boho chic style.
The ceremony was so touching. These two are so in love it actually makes me sick! hahaha Honestly it was was a dream. And little Lacey did the most amazing reading for them. This kid is such a delight, so lovely to be around and super cool like her parents. I think everyone welled up a bit when Lacey got emotional watching her Dad marry his best friend who is also her best friend <3 The relationship between the three of them is amazing to witness.
I loved that this wedding combined Anna and Dan's super cool, modern style with some traditional old school elements. So after the ceremony, they decorated their VW camper van before having afternoon tea with their immediate friends and family and then driving off on honeymoon as they waved them off. So it turns out intimate weddings are pretty damn EPIC.
I just want to say thanks so much to Anna and Dan for having me share this awesome day with them. It really was so perfect and I love that you decided to go ahead with the intimate wedding despite everything. It honestly makes it even more special at times like this and I hope you can cherish these moments forever.
