May/June 2023

 
You better believe it! Summer weddings are just weeks away as we recently welcomed the lighter evenings when the clocks sprung forward. I even had my first Aperol Spritz of the year, last weekend! Oh, I adore the summer. My wedding, some nine years ago, was on a sunny Saturday in June and boy did everyone enjoy the bubbles and buckets full of ice-cold beers. The Met Office has reported soaring temps for the months ahead and I for one can’t wait to hear all about your glorious days, admire your flowing gowns and see pics of you and your guests having the time of your lives.

If you’re currently shopping for ‘the one’ do check out our feature dedicated to the amazing boutiques just on our doorstep. Gone are the days of trekking to London, as Essex is where it’s at now.

Furthermore, I can’t wait to introduce you to our three real weddings, each bursting with character. I’ll leave you to pore over Dr and Mrs Waterhouse’s day with a slight palaeontologist twist; our beautiful boho bride, Lynsey who married Mark at Channels Estate; and not forgetting Mr and Mrs Liddard who married on New Year’s Eve at Mulberry House.

For further inspiration, check out this issue’s styled shoot taken at Layer Marney Tower which has pure Lord of the Rings vibes. Rich, luxurious, with Celtic tones throughout.

If you’ve recently tied the knot and would like to see your wedding day gracing the pages of An Essex Wedding, please get in touch via our website www.anessex.wedding or simply ping me an email!

Happy Panning!

Braxted Park

At the heart of a vast walled estate, you’ll find Braxted Park’s magnificent country house and its stunning gardens. The intimate gardens that connect Braxted House to the grand Wedding Pavilion provide an idyllic setting for any wedding vision. Within the historic Walled Garden guests can enjoy a series of themed ‘rooms’ that include a romantic English Garden, a Knott Garden and an Italian Garden. The year-round interest each provides creates beautiful and varied backdrops for wedding photographs.

Combing elegance and romance throughout its interior, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to saying, ‘I do’. The Orangery exudes romance, with Roman-inspired murals and arched windows that look out over the grounds. Alternatively, during the warmer months, tie the knot outdoors at the heart of the walled garden as your guests soak up the sun. Braxted Park even has its own church, so you could have a religious ceremony just a few minutes away from the house should you wish to. Each option is capable of seating up to 170 guests.

When it comes to receptions, The Pavilion is perfectly equipped for parties both large and small. This versatile space offers plenty of room for up to 350 guests and comes with neutral décor so you can truly make it your own. The in-house catering team are on hand to create some spectacular menus for your special day, while come evening, a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system and huge dancefloor ensures you can enjoy yourselves long into the night.
