Two years ago today, I sat in the Bowery hotel, surrounded by friends and family basking in the love and celebration of my wedding day, day I’ll never forget. Just a year earlier I was moving from LA to New York - a decision that would set me on a course to meet my person and say ‘I Do’ just a year later and I’m not sure what was the better decision- moving to New York or saying ‘I Do’ but either way it’s all lead me to you… I love you @hudsonphoto, I’m in awe of you daily and this tiny being we have created. Can’t wait for the adventures the next two years will bring 🤍

Finding the right venue ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A task that many couples find difficult to do - For some, it can be a lengthy process and one that can at times, feel quite overwhelming. It's one of the most key parts of the planning process, as your chosen wedding venue will essentially define your day. The look, feel, size, location, small print and price are huge factors that all need considering when finding the right venue for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For those who don't have a planner to hand to guide you through this gargantuan task, try to discuss and finalise the following prior to your search: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Set your budget - Know your capacity - Settle on a location - Decide on a vision - Create a 'must have' list of non-negotiables ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once you start receiving all the relevant information and pricing, remember to consider a few things prior to making a final decision: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Understand exactly what's included - Check for strict or preferred supplier policies - Ask about access and closing times - Always check for insurance - Never forget to read the small print ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photography @kat.gillespie Venu @woodsquaylondon Concept, Planning & Styling @studioporter Florals @cosmosandplums & @yinari__ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ __ #citywedding #cityweddings #cityweddinginspiration #weddingeditorial #weddinginspiration #ukwedding #ukweddings #ukweddingplanner #ukweddingstylist #intimatewedding #intimateweddings #autumnalwedding #iwd2022 #internationalwomensday #weddingplanning #weddingplanningadvice #newlyengaged #newlyengagedcouple #bridetobe #bridetobe2022 #bridetobe2023 #weddingplanningtips #weddingwellness #weddingwellbeing #weddingvenuesearch #venuesearch

"I want to encourage couples to be adventurous with their planning and design choices. It’s important that weddings are a reflection of a couple’s story, as well as the surroundings in which their wedding is taking place — I also want to inspire couples to consider something a little different for their big day, perhaps not your typical flowers or tableware choices that tend to find themselves at most weddings. Also consider less elements on the day, but ones that provide a statement and impact." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Full article available via @cocoweddingvenues. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photography @kat.gillespie Venu @woodsquaylondon Concept, Planning & Styling @studioporter Florals @cosmosandplums & @yinari__ Bridal Boutique @amare_bride Bridal Designers @alarobe @harriettegordon & @bonbride Fine Jewellery @bygemima MUA @abitaylorbride Hair Stylist @vsthair Model @bethanylydiaa ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ __ #winterwedding #winterweddings #winterweddinginspiration #winterweddingeditorial #winterweddinglondon #winterweddinguk #wintercitywedding #citywedding #cityweddings #cityweddinginspiration #weddingeditorial #weddinginspiration #ukwedding #ukweddings #ukweddingplanner #ukweddingstylist #intimatewedding #intimateweddings #autumnalwedding #citybride #stylishcitybride #bridalinspiration #stylishbride #modernbride #weddingfloralinstallation #weddingflorals #weddingceremony #luxuryukwedding #driedflowers #luxurywedding

— Bespoke ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I adore creating weddings that are entirely bespoke to a couple. I always endeavour to encourage clients to veer away from the norm if they can and try to be brave when it comes to design and styling decisions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having a few selected, specially curated items for your wedding day can be a beautiful way of having a distinctly unique occasion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Consider working with smaller independent artists and businesses, such as an illustrator who can work with your stationer to produce exquisitely put-together wedding invites and table menus, or even approach a local ceramist or local boutique who can provide specially selected items such as floral vases, candlestick holders or hand-crafted ornaments that can act as beautiful guest favours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photography @kat.gillespie Illustrator & Stationer @kateporterdesign Design & Styling @studioporter ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ __ #weddingstationery #weddinginvitations #weddinginspiration #weddinginvitationsuite #illustratedweddingstationery #caligraphy #bespokeweddings #bespokewedding #bespokeweddinginvitations #bespokeweddingideas #londonweddings #ukweddingplanner #ukweddingstylist #contemporarywedding #artisticwedding #creativeweddingideas #weddingstyling

Still soaking this in — Thank you @thewed for including Studio Porter in your ‘Best 15 Wedding Planners in the UK’ list. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It all started out as a dream and eventually turned into a much loved reality. Born in lockdown, this business has been a labour of love. I’ve connected with some truly amazing people who have provided invaluable guidance and support along the way and have also had the privilege of meeting the most inspiring couples who have given me their full trust. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is still so much to do and achieve but this special acknowledgment means the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ H x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Moored to the legendary length of the Thames, @woodsquaylondon is a wildly serene sanctuary floating above the untamed riverbed – as captured in this stunning editorial, exclusive to The Story Of. Shot by @kat.gillespie and styled by @studioporter , the concept harnesses the wild beauty of embracing what cannot be changed, echoing its raw surroundings with aesthetic aplomb. Styled in the lucid silks of @alarobe , @harriettegordon and @bonbride, and accompanied with natural elements from @cosmosandplums , @yinari__ and @kateporterdesign, the concept is metaphoric of its awe-inspiring environment, representing the unbridled power in bringing the authentic ‘you’ to shore.
