Modern, stylish wedding at Chelsea Old Town Hall & Somerset House

Real Wedding: Emily & Allan

The most gorgeous micro wedding for my gorgeous couple, Emily and Allan. We met in Spring 2020 at Most Curious Wedding Fair, and they tied the knot in a gorgeous micro wedding in between the lockdowns on Friday 18th September 2020. They chose my gorgeous Electric Dreams semicustom suite, which perfectly complemented their bold yet sophisticated colour palette.

They got married at the gorgeous Chelsea Old Town Hall, then went for lunch at the Spring Restaurant in Somerset House, followed by bowling at Bloomsbury Lanes. They’re a London couple, so couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else.

They had originally planned their wedding over two days: a legal ceremony followed by lunch on Friday for 35 guests, and then a big dinner party on the Saturday for about 150 people. The big dinner party would have been at LSO St Luke’s, who very kindly refunded their deposit once it became clear that large-scale in-person events wouldn’t be possible.

Emily got ready at the Langham Hotel, which is also where they stayed for their wedding weekend. She hired hair stylist Catherine Bailey, and wore fabulous sequin separates from Charlie Brear.

They signed the register to ‘Stay High’ by Brittany Howard, and then walked out as a married couple to ‘Sound & Vision’ by David Bowie. Music was very important to them, so Emily & Allan had their first dance at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes to The Ramones, ‘Baby I Love You’.
