A Mid-Week Wedding to Remember: Harrison & Alice’s Two-Night Celebration in July 2024

Weddings are a reflection of a couple’s love, style, and personality, and Harrison and Alice’s mid-week wedding in July 2024 was no exception. Held over two magical nights with 42 on-site guests and 67 daytime attendees and additional evening guests, their celebration was a truly unforgettable experience. Here’s a closer look at this charming occasion that left every guest with lasting memories.

The Arrival: A Warm Welcome

The festivities kicked off with a relaxed arrival evening, welcoming close family and friends who stayed on-site. Instead of a formal meal, Harrison and Alice opted for a laid-back Italian feast. Guests were treated to a delicious spread of pizzas and pastas, allowing everyone to mingle, relax, and settle in for the wedding festivities ahead. With Alice being vegetarian, there were plenty of mouthwatering veggie options that didn’t disappoint. 

The Big Day: Outdoor Elegance Under the Oak Arbour

The next morning, the wedding day arrived, and the skies couldn’t have been more cooperative. A perfectly fine day greeted everyone as they gathered for breakfast. The bridal party and guests then took their time getting ready, soaking in the calm yet excited atmosphere before the ceremony.

Harrison and Alice chose a stunning outdoor ceremony on the lawn, with an oak arbour serving as a natural, rustic backdrop. The sun shone brightly, adding to the atmoshere of the day. Chairs were set up on the grass, while guests sipped drinks on the patio of the Green Room Bar before the ceremony commenced.

The bridesmaids, dressed in  vibrant, colorful dresses, added a joyful pop of color to the picturesque setting. Alice, radiant in her gown, made her way down the aisle and Harrison had an emotional moment. Since their legal registry office wedding had taken place earlier, the ceremony was entirely personal, filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and love.

Timeless Photos and Golden Hour Magic

With the ceremony complete, it was time for photos.  Guests gathered for candid shots, and Alice and Harrison stole away for some quiet moments during the famed golden hour. As the sun dipped towards the horizon, their photographer captured dreamy images that they’ll cherish for a lifetime.

The Reception: Classic Menu with a Twist

Dinner was  a classic menu that catered to all tastes, with vegetarian options for Alice. 

As the evening wore on, additional guests arrived, and the energy ramped up for the night ahead. After a day full of love and celebration, it was time to let loose with dancing and more food to fuel the fun. Sausage rolls and veggie pasties were on hand as the perfect late-night snacks, keeping everyone energized and ready to dance the night away.
