Stunning wedding at Castle Howard

This weekend’s wedding was in the beautiful British countryside at one of the most stunning Castle’s known to man: Castle Howard. This lucky couple spent their Saturday evening saying their vows in the Great Hall surrounded by beautiful antiques, Grecian statues, and gorgeous flower arrangements by the lovely team at Wildabout Flowers.

After the ceremony, a horse and carriage awaited the bride and groom while guests enjoyed champagne and pimms on the Castle’s grounds. Dinner took place in the magnificent Long Gallery surrounded by lush florals, crystals, and menus encrusted with diamantes.

We jazzed up the evening party by dressing up the Grecian Hall to mimic the couple’s favourite club in Dubai! You wouldn’t have guessed we were in a Castle, it was simply stunning. The evening kicked off with the talented female band, High on Heels.

A huge fan

I’m proud to say that I have 100% client satisfaction rate. Please see a glowing testimonial below:

“Erika is a true gem and excels in all ways possible as a wedding planner. Within about 2 weeks of having made the decision to work with Flutterfly, Erika had already delivered well beyond what I had ever expected. She is a true professional and was so easy and enjoyable to work with. She understood my vision for the wedding day and constantly made suggestions to ensure that our event was first class. Erika was available 24/7 which proved to be amazingly useful given that I work long hours and travel quite frequently. She was always available to discuss anything and to offer her expertise and opinion whenever I needed. Her contacts in the industry were incredibly beneficial as I had confidence and piece of mind that all of the various vendors were well vetted and fairly priced.

Planning a wedding involves an incredible amount of time, organization, and money. It can be very easy to get carried away into the minutia of the detail and Erika was brilliant at ensuring that all of the various pieces of the planning fit together to make for an incredible masterpiece on the day! I was able to enjoy every second of the day without one minute of time spent worrying about any of the details. I could not have had this piece of mind without the dedication to perfection and the endless support that Erika offered. She truly is first class in the field of wedding planning and design and I cannot imagine having gone through the process without her by my side every step of the way.”

Americans getting married in London

As an American wedding planner in London, I work with numerous American couples who cross the Ocean to get married in this beautiful country. My top tip for you Americans getting married in London is to choose a venue with history, a venue that has character, a venue that has antiques and other historical features, and a venue that is representative of British History. We don’t have these old historic building in the States and if you have numerous American guests flying over to celebrate your marriage, they will thoroughly enjoy a day in history. As always, more tips to come…
