Fish, Chips And Peach Pretty Petals For An Intimate Beachside Wedding

Good morning beautiful people, we're almost at the end of the working week! Reasons to be cheerful indeed.  And another reason to put a smile on your face this morning is the delightful wedding of Kerrie and Paul.

This couple had a totally relaxed beachside wedding on 9th May this year, at the very beautiful Artist Beach House in Whitstable – a gorgeous coastal retreat boasting sea views and available to rent for seaside self-catering weekends and unique celebrations – and of course, beautiful intimate wedding celebrations…

"Our
decision to only have just twenty five guests meant we wanted to have a style that
was intimate and relaxed but gave a sense of occasion. The Artist Beach House  we
hired dictated a style that we both really thought suited us as a
couple."

"My dress was from Teokath Canterbury and was the Balta design from
Pronovias.  I had the dress altered to provide keyhole detail at the
back.

I loved the detail of the Spanish lace – all three layers of it!"

"Booking McKinley Rodgers
was honestly the best decision we made when planning our wedding. The
level of professionalism and ease to deal with was second to none, not
to mention the amazing photos and video slideshow they produced for us."

Words of Wedded Wisdom…

"Such a cliché but the day
goes in a blink! Soak up every moment of being surrounded by your
closest friends and family and don’t get caught up in all the other
details!

Our favourite part of the day was dancing on the decking to our folk band!   The only thing we regret was not using our photo booth more!"
