An elegant Suffolk Garden Wedding at WILDERNESS RESERVE


When Ariel and Charlie realised they needed some support wedding planning for their elegant Suffolk wedding at The Wilderness Reserve, they picked up the phone to me following a recommendation to them from one of my favourite luxury makeup artists, Emily Chantal.

Ariel and Charlie had this incredible vision for their day and wanted me to support them on the day itself with my ‘On the day coordination’ service. But we bonded on our first conversation and I knew this was going to be such a stunning wedding in many ways. To start with, some of my most favourite suppliers were also coming along for the ride!

The couple had chosen the sought after The Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk and trust me when I say this must be a place you visit. We met and walked around the venue along with their wedding coordinator at the venue and their caterer whilst we planned, tweaked and organised the logistics of the day and I fully grasped exactly how beautiful it would look once we’d spoken about everything.

In the morning of this gorgeous sunny June day, Ariel was being looked after by her makeup artist email and hair stylist Sally-Kate (Hair by Duboux) with her stunning Bridesmaids in the comfort of this dog friendly venue… see how Oakley and Willow feature in the wedding later on, it’s a treat!

Next revealed the most beautiful Armeria wedding dress from fashion designer Alena Lena and it could not have been any more perfect for the gorgeous Ariel. She wore designer Loeffler Randall shoes and accompanied the dress with delicate white florals from Figa and Co.

The ceremony was performed by family and contained the most sweetest readings filled with laughter and the occasion tear whilst the guests listened to the beautiful harmonies of Gemma Daltrey & Jonny.

Delectable Canapes and the wedding breakfast was served by local catering team, Gather and Feast in the outdoor stretch tent from Events Under Canvas with table decor provided by CMA Hire

Remember the cake from Pink Face Cakes I told you about earlier? Isn’t this the cutest thing…

Afterwards, everyone danced the night away and enjoyed an array of drinks and cocktails from the fabulous team at Beyond Bar hire - wow! What a party!

So if you are looking for inspiration on an outdoor, romantic garden wedding, I don’t think you can get a more beautiful aesthetic than Ariel and Charlie’s wedding.
