Jessica and Zack celebrated their early May wedding in the heart of London, beginning with a ceremony at Islington Town Hall before moving on to a city-view reception at One Hundred Shoreditch.
Jessica wore a sleek Victoria Beckham gown, chosen for its clean lines and timeless simplicity, paired with Prada heels and a veil borrowed from her sister. Her look was complete with nude chrome nails, a fresh Le Labo scent and a pair of diamond earrings gifted by Zack on the morning of the wedding.
Florist Zahra of Pink Gold Peach designed a sculptural bouquet that felt more architectural than traditional, adding a creative edge to the minimal styling. Rachel Wood captured it all with ease, creating a set of images that feel contemporary, intimate and full of quiet confidence.
Their celebration unfolded high above the city, the room glowing in the evening light as the skyline came alive outside. Guests enjoyed Lily Vanilli cake, the dance floor filled to SZA, and the whole evening carried that unmistakable London energy.

The Dress
Victoria Beckham
I went to the Victoria Beckham store in Mayfair and had a great experience with Aaron who worked there. He helped me with the style, the look, as well as alterations. I would definitely recommend it.
Since it was a London wedding, I wanted to be able to get around easily–especially when hopping in and out of taxis to get to our destinations–so a heavy dress was out of the question!
I’ve always loved that effortless, ‘90s minimalist style which is why I chose this slip-style dress. I loved how simple, chic and classic it felt.
My shoes were from Prada and were so comfortable.
I borrowed the veil from my sister from when she got married a couple of years ago. It was nice to have something meaningful.
My scent was Le Labo Fleur D’Oranger 27, it’s one of my all-time favourites as it’s fresh and light. I loved my nude chrome nails by Sass n Claw. It felt modern and fun without being too busy.
Zack surprised me with a beautiful pair of diamond earrings for the wedding. so I wanted to just wear and showcase them. I did find some great ear cuffs from Amazon (ha) about two days before the wedding as I wanted to make my ears more of a statement as I didn’t want to wear anything else.
My makeup artist was Eloise of Look by Eloise and my hair stylist was Yuzi Yun at George Northwood. Both are amazing!
Zahra of Pink Gold Peach did my bouquet and she did such an incredible job – I was so happy when I saw it. I wanted something that was a bit more creative and almost architectural over the more traditional styles so she nailed the brief.
I didn’t have ‘bridesmaids’ in the traditional sense – my sisters and sister-in-law was there with me the whole day getting ready but I wanted them to wear their own dresses rather than the same one.
The Ceremony
We chose Islington Town Hall for the ceremony because we loved the Art Deco features, the marble staircase and natural light through in the main hall.
Zack and I walked down the aisle together to the sound of Lana Del Ray’s ‘Radio’ – we asked my dad to be the ring bearer.
Photography
Our photographer, Rachel Wood, was amazing. She really understood the vibe we were going for and got all of our references. She was so nice and chill on the day, and just made it feel so easy for us.
We would absolutely recommend her to anyone for their wedding. I got so many compliments on the images and well as Rachel being so nice on the day.
The Reception
We loved One Hundred Room at One Hundred Shoreditch because it has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city (you can see the Gherkin from the room), the warm wood accents and it had a outside terrace – which was the best.
The hotel also had cacti all around the room, which was a really cool design feature.
We didn’t really need to think about decor – the room was great already with the floor to ceiling windows over looking the city, Cacti all around the room and we added the orange up-lighters for extra glow.
Lighting was provided by the Hotel – we had a warm orange up-lighters around the room which really helped with the warmth.
We got our wedding cake from Lily Vanilli and chose the Italian style Wedding cake as we wanted something classic and delicious! And it delivered – there was none left to take home!
Words of Wedded Wisdom
Don’t be swayed by trends. Stay true to what you love and what feels right for you as a couple. We skipped a lot of the traditional things that people assume you should do, but wasn’t our style and we felt so much happier by doing that.
I also love the venue section and vendors – there’s so much choice so it’s great to have somewhere to find everything easily. I’ve passed this site onto my sister who will be getting married next year to help organise.
