ERICA + ELLIOT
EPIC is the best word I can use to describe this action packed wedding. This was my first wedding at the wonderful Launcells Bartn and it didn’t dissapoint. Erica and Elliot were a riot and full of fun for the whole day. Check out the frames below.

Tell us what made your day unique (max 100 words): When looking back now I just remember feeling so relaxed and loved- isn't that what a wedding should be. It was not just the day that was special to me it was the journey leading up to the day that we shared we are immediate family. We spent the best part of a year making decorations, collecting all the glass wear and buying silk flowers - all of which was just so magical to have spent that time with our loved ones. The day was just perfection we have never felt such joy and love and it was just a day we shall never forget.
How did you choose your suppliers?: Some of the suppliers were listed as 'recommended' from our venue, the rest were friends of friends or hours searching the web.
What was the vibe of your day?: We wanted our wedding to be very chilled, hence why we chose Launcells. Launcells was right up our street because it was rustic and had a lovely charm to it. We didn't want people to feel like they had to wear their best dress and heels, we would have preferred wellies. Our decorations were all rustic and soft lighting, with lots of candles and greenery everywhere. My nan spent many days potting up plants and winding up silk flowers. We liked the 'English hedge row' feel .
Do you have a favourite moment of your day?: I loved our ceremony, I thought I would be sobbing my heart out but I was just full of pure joy. The whole room was just full with smiles and laughter and I couldn't have wished for a better moment to say I do! Second best was our first dance, we danced for a bit and then got everyone involved.. dancing away to some Irish jig swinging on each others arms.
Do you have any advice for people planning their wedding?: Everyones weddings are so different and if it was anything like ours you have many opinions flying around- just go with your heart and what you want as a couple. Also if you are prepping the day before be aware the time just flies by, regardless of how organised you feel you are. Top tip - find out if your table cloths are ironed for you, we spent the best part of a day ironing, not fun!
Anything else major that you just have to tell us? An epic DIY project? A particular supplier who stole the show? How you found your dress?*: I was so impressed with our Photo Booth back drop, made out of pallets and random props it looked amazing. Im so proud of all the rustic props we were about the collect over the year before, it made it look so special. Still to this day, Wild bake have the best pizza's! They even saved us slices to take with us at the end of the night!
How epic was your photographer? ;-): Do I need to say? You were honestly great, captured our day perfectly. So many people have commented on the photos and how you were able to capture all the little extras we had done and somehow show the atmosphere through stills.
