As we reach the mid-point of the week I’m not quite sure where the week is going" I still seem to be in holiday mode and already planning our next trip away! Today though I have the cutest DIY wedding for you from Norfolk. It’s a fusion of English and Gambia, as Hannah and Modou celebrate with plenty of colour, handmade details and a fab festival vibe. I just love the laid back feel of this wedding, the big beaming smiles and the huge amount of fun everyone involved is having. Big thanks to Beard and Mane for the lovely images.
A string of life-altering moments. The day was a soul-filled, vibrant celebration with a home-grown vibe as so many of our family and friends pitched in to make the day possible. We tried where possible to weave in aspects of both of our cultures.
Hannah and Modou were married on 9 September 2017, The Ceremony was held at St. Withburga?s Church, Holkham Estate, Norfolk. With the Reception ?on a field just down the road?. View out to the pinewoods and ocean. Holkham/ Wells-Next-to-the-Sea is one of Hannah?s favourite places in the world. Grown up visiting grandparents in Wells. We both love the outdoors and wanted it to be ?rustic, chilled and home-grown?. We had 180 (give or take!) (plus a few canine special guests – who had free use of the field!) and it took 6 months to plan.
