It’s hard to believe that this time last year we were covered in snow! It just goes to show that you can’t plan for British weather at all!

Here are some lovely photos from Laura and Jon’s wedding taken by Lloyd Dobbie (http://www.LloydDobbie.com)

The mansion was full with lit fires, hearty food, so many smiles and lots of servicemen in uniform too. Beautiful. You can see more photos of their day on Lloyd Dobbie’s blog… http://www.lloyddobbie.com/2011/12/winter-wedding-at-nonsuch-mansion-2/

“I am thrilled, excited, proud and absolutely delighted to share this {Twilight} Breaking  Dawn styled shoot with you ~ yes you, my lovely loyal readers. For the last couple of months I plotted and I planned every aspect of this shoot. I lay awake at night pondering how Edward & Bella’s wedding may look, I agonised over every tiny detail thinking ‘what   will make this shoot even more twilight inspired?’. You see, I wanted to create something extra special, that beautiful something that brides-to-be would love and feel inspired by {even if they weren’t a Twilight fan}… and I definitely didn’t want my Twilight inspiration       to look cliched or dare I say it, tacky… So, I started to contact the most talented and amazing suppliers, suppliers who are renowned for their outstanding quality of work and I asked them if they’d be interested in helping me create this, thankfully, they all said yes…”

Behold: this is what happens when twenty of the top suppliers are brought together by one amazing wedding stylist: Sonia from Want That Wedding.

Sonia’s mission was to recreate the most famous wedding of 2011 (no not that one, the other one!): the marriage of Bella Swan to vampire Edward Cullen from the book (and film) Twilight: Breaking Dawn. This was a very British vampire shoot (held at dusk of course) with photos captured by Chanelle of Sergerius Bruce.

You can see the entire shoot on two blog pieces over on Sonia’s inspirational blog Want that Wedding

“For the last couple of months I plotted and I planned every aspect of this shoot. I lay awake at night pondering how Edward & Bella’s wedding may look, I agonised over every tiny detail thinking ‘what   will make this shoot even more twilight inspired?’.

I took my inspiration from the twilight novels visualizing how Edward and Bella’s dream nuptials could translate into reality. Edward was turned into a vampire in 1918 so I wanted to reflect the Art Nouveau period, you can see this in the style of the wedding stationery and wedding cake created for the shoot…. To complete the look I chose a dramatic Georgian Mansion as a backdrop for this Breaking Dawn styled shoot to add an old fashioned English twist. The result ~ I think you’ll agree is an incredibly romantic, intense and vintage inspired {Twilight} Breaking Dawn styled wedding shoot.

Thank you so much for being so amazing on our wedding day, you really were just brilliant.

From keeping me calm, to looking after Charlie’s grandparents, and helping us pack everything away at the end of the night. You were always there making sure everything ran smoothly and everyone was happy. Some of our guests have even said how great you were so your brilliance shone through everywhere!

We are so glad we chose Nonsuch. It’s such a beautiful venue and your team just make it even more fabulous. The food was scrummy and the service tip-top. I could go on and on about how happy we are. Thank you. Both Charlie and I really appreciate everything you have done for us. We wish you all the best and just wish we could have the day all over again!

Thank you

Helen & Charlie

Boon Koh is a groom-to-be who also happens to be a blogger. We were delighted to see his write-up of a site visit to Nonsuch Mansion visit appear on The London Insider. He also took a lot of photos of the features that stood out.

We particularly loved this bit: “Nonsuch Mansion possesses all the things that a bride-to-be might want: beautiful gardens for pictures, check. Historical grand old building, check. High ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, check. Lots of light in the ceremony room, check. Guaranteed to impress the guests – check!”

Finding the perfect wedding venue is like finding the perfect dress, every one is different and you need to try a lot on before you find the one that “fits”.

A weekday Nonsuch Mansion wedding appeared over five pages in the “Real Life” section of the December issue of Perfect Wedding Magazine. Diane and Daniel had a vintage-inspired village fete theme that was perfect down to every detail. You can see more of the photos on this previous blog post complete with wonderful photos by Chanelle of Sererius-Bruce.

Our favourite line in the article is:
MY BEST IDEA Diane was so glad she chose a venue with fabulous food “We knew the caterers were meant to be great and the menu tasting proved it!”

Julie,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a massive thank you to you, Bovingdons  / Nonsuch Mansion for helping us create such a wonderful day for us.  It was just beyond perfect.  Your staff are a credit to your business, they could not do enough for us and went out of their way for us and our guests!  The atmosphere was just brilliant, the dance floor was always full, every guest was impressed and went away with a smile on their face (some even saying it was the best wedding they had ever been too!)

Mr & Mrs Coleman
