Gravetye Manor Wedding // Emma & Mark
Emma and Mark met at the bottom of the Indian ocean, studying coral reefs, but thankfully chose a more accessible location for everyone to get to for their wedding earlier this year. Gravetye Manor is a stunning wedding venue in Sussex, and built in 1598, it oozes character and charm. Strangely enough, it was built for a bride (nice gesture) and the initials of the happy couple can be seen in stone over the main entrance door. Emma got ready at Gravetye Manor, with Mark just down the road at The Cat Inn.
Friends and family started to gather and once they were all assembled, Emma made her entrance on the arm of her very proud father. The ceremony itself took place in the oak panelled sitting room, which had a cosy feel on the not quite spring like March day.
Following the ceremony, the grown ups got stuck into the canapés and champagne, whilst the kids hared around with walkie talkies and paper planes. Dinner was served, and speeches followed. As the evening progressed, Emma changed into a sparkly sequin number and got her dancing shoes on, and a ceilidh was just the thing to get everyone on the dance floor with her.
Wonderful day with wonderful people, a few of my favourites from this Gravetye Manor are below.
