A couple recently shared insights into planning their two-day London wedding, which began with a proposal at Claridge's. Their celebrations included a morning at Claridge's before exchanging vows at Marylebone Town Hall, followed by dinner and drinks at Mount Street Restaurant. The following day, 80 friends joined them for a party at Bistro Freddie in East London.
Key advice from the couple includes choosing venues with personal significance, such as Claridge's and Bistro Freddie, which are places they can easily revisit. They also suggested considering renting attire, with the bride renting a Vivienne Westwood dress for the second day's party.
The couple emphasised supporting local British makers for their wedding attire and jewellery, and seeking trusted recommendations for suppliers like their DJ and hair and make-up artists. They also highlighted the importance of preparing for potential bad weather, having an umbrella ready and pre-booking a pub corner for post-ceremony drinks. Incorporating personal preferences for food and drink, such as martinis, champagne, and Guinness, was also a significant part of their planning.
