They got married on 13th August (one of the hottest days of the year ps!) in a dreamy al fresco ceremony under the bandstand at Thicket Priory, surrounded by beautiful blooms. Their balmy wedding day is classic, elegant and utterly chic, but with a light sprinkling of boho luxe – it’s the epitome of an English summer wedding (stunning sunset included) and I’m certain you’ll LOVE it as much as I do! Enjoy…
Vicky says…
We loved Thicket Priory from the moment we set foot there. The building itself is just so beautiful to look at, the room decor is breathtaking and it seemed that every aspect of the venue had wonderful attention to detail. I love old buildings with loads of character – Thicket definitely had that! Not only that, but Becca was amazing right from our first meeting with her and we just knew that she and the rest of the team would create the wedding day of our dreams – and we were not disappointed!
I had a dream that I could get married amongst beautiful huge blooms of flowers in the outdoors. Nicola from Dittany Entwined battled against the heat to deliver just that – the bandstand was so beautiful and created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. My bouquet lasted all day (despite me waving it around all day) and it was the perfect combination of classic and wild. The flowers had plenty of pampas grass too, that I now have sitting pretty in my hallway!

Sadly for everyone reading this, our wonderful cake-maker Charlotte Wilcox Cakes no longer makes wedding cakes for a living. But she made my cake dreams become a reality, with last minute changes to ensure the cake stood the test against the weather! We still have some in the freezer!
Baba Ganoush, our caterers, were marvellous! We had SO many people come up to us in the weeks and months afterwards saying that the food was some of the best they had ever had at a wedding and we couldn’t agree more. The portion sizes were very generous and the food was delicious.
Thicket will always hold such a special place in our hearts, with memories that we will treasure forever. Thank you to Becca, Anna, and everyone for helping to deliver the wedding that was better than we ever could have dreamt of, along with our amazing suppliers.

Best part of the day
Jonny: Seeing Vicky for the first time as she walked down the aisle.
Vicky: Reaching Jonny at the end of the aisle!
We also both loved walking into a room full of our family and friends at the wedding breakfast and also listening to the speeches, which were amazing and so thoughtful.
From one couple to another
