Love is in the air!
Who loves love!? We sure do!
This weeks blog is a celebration of some beautiful friends of Co-Host With Me, Sandie and Dan!
Sandie (photographer extraordinaire from West Creative) first met her husband Dan 15 years ago when they were both living in Paris (can it get more romantic?). I (Co-Host Director Sian) was lucky to be able to join them in the small but incredibly joyous vowel renewal ceremony. It was such a special day made possible through the collaboration of local experts and venders.
Sandie and Dan are happy for me to share some of their wedding secrets below!
THE DRESS! 💃 If there’s a perfect time to wear a disco ball chandelier as a dress, it has to be at a 10 year anniversary vowel renewal/wedding! This masterpiece was created by Louise from Nuku Bridal. Sandi worked with Louise to create her perfect outfit that was also a two piece! Sandi swapped the skirt for some dress pants when it came time for dinner and dancing. (How cute was the little mini-me number made for Madeline!)
The Flowers 💐 Alisha from The Bohemian Flower Collective was the creative mind behind these stunning moody blooms. Sandi says she didn’t even have to provide a brief, Alisha simply did what she is best at and created the gorgeous works of art.
The Venue! 🤩 Now this was really something unique. The wedding was held at Rebel Rebel Wedding Chapel. It was the perfect size for a more intimate celebrating and was all about fun, colour and joy!
The Photographer 📸 James Simmons was the legend behind the lens. He certainly had his work cut out for him as Wedding Photography is Sandi’s bread and butter! In my eyes they’re both absolute experts in their field and you’d be very lucky to have Sandi or James be part of your special day.
So what do you think? Does breaking the mould and mixing up traditional and modern ways work? Throwing away the rule book certainly worked for Sandi and Dan! It would have had to have been one of the most creative and fun-loving weddings I’ve been to. The use of local vendors made the day the huge success that it was and I’m so honoured to have been part of it. And don’t forget, if you’re looking for the perfect wedding night accommodation in for you or your guests, Co-Host With Me has got you covered!
Congratulations Sandi and Dan. 😍
