Well you would be forgiven in thinking this wasn't quite the start we had hoped for the beginning of 2021 however I refuse to be beaten.

I know many of you are determinedly planning your wedding during our latest lockdown and we are 100% behind you.

We have some of the best weddding venues and suppliers in Herts, Beds and Bucks at your finger tips.

Please don't hesitate to contact any of them directly as they will be thrilled to hear from you.

I know some of you will be wondering whether this is the year to marry and I would say this.

Ask yourself if you are happy with a wedding of six people, or fifteen people, or thirty people. What is your limit? If an intimate wedding of six doesn't have you running for the hills then this is most definitely the year you can say I do. A group of 30 is positively a party.

That's not to say that larger weddings won't be able to take place this year either but no one can say for sure.

2021 is a flexible ticket ! We don't know where it is going; we don't know where it will lead, but we are on it for the ride of our life. Hold on to each other and stay safe.

Confetti can be dated back to the Middle Ages when people used to throw wheat grain at the bride and groom to bestow prosperity and fertility.

These days confetti comes in all shapes and sizes, colours and textures, with natural petals remaining the most popular type, and certainly the most Vicar- and venue-friendly!

At All Things Confetti all of our confetti is 100% natural, biodegradable, and eco-friendly perfect for those picture perfect wedding photos.

P h o t o g r a p h R y othamsted Manor, established in 1623, is an impressive Grade 1 listed Manor house set in 12 acres of beautiful gardens and stunning woodland in rural , Hertfordshire. John Bennet Lawes, the founder of Rothamsted Experimental Station, now Rothamsted Research (the world-renowned scientific research institute), was born in this house on 28th December 1814. However, his ancestors, the Wittewronges, built the original Manor in the 1600s.

There is actually a record of settlement on this site dating back as far as the 13th Century. The Manor is filled with impressive features including the historic fireplaces, the beautiful portraits and the lovely Spanish Leather wall coverings, many of which have remained largely untouched since the 1600s.

It is bound to impress guests and provide plenty of inspiration for any events you choose to hold with us. Sustainability is at the very heart of what we offer at Rothamsted Manor. We are part of Rothamsted Research and are passionate about affecting climate change and sustainability.

Under normal circumstances, we are able to cater for wedding ceremonies up to 115, seated wedding breakfasts for up to 76 people, as well as evening parties. The Manor has a beautiful interior and grounds which are ideal for wedding photos but we cater for smaller more intimate weddings too.

My aim for your wedding is simple: I want you to have the best day of your lives! Trusting me to capture every moment as well as the moments you may not see, so that in years to come you can re-live it with your friends and loved ones. I have photographed over 250 weddings; it is still the best job in the world! I love the way weddings bring people together and the emotions that come with being surrounded by people you love; it is a privilege to be a part of.I photograph all sized weddings; I am flexible with my work hours as I appreciate everyone is different and one size does not fit all in terms of what each couple envisages for their day. Please feel free to contact me to discuss options for your wedding day!

I look forward to meeting you.

Every bride wants their wedding to be perfect and looking beautiful is an essential part of the day. For me, it’s wonderful to help a client feel great and look stunning for this most special occasion.

A wedding makes very particular demands on your make up and it’s something that needs to be done properly, with expert care. As well as my own background in make-up, I have completed the specialist Bridal Course at the Academy of Freelance Makeup Artists, so I can advise in detail exactly what will work and what to avoid.

A popular and very effective touch is Airbrush makeup. I’m fully trained in this and it delivers impressive results.

The Airbrush application means that a superfine flawless finish is achieved, minimizing skin imperfections; it gives a very natural look which is long lasting and is ideal for looking your best in photographs and High Definition video.

Airbrush makeup is water resistant and will help you look your best all day long..
