A ‘Truley’ Stylish Wedding

A Stylish Wedding at Asylum Chapel & 100 Barrington – two of the BEST London Wedding locations the city has to offer. This wedding was already shaping up to be a stylish London wedding to remember!

These guys were all about the party, most especially from their incredible band choices and all the fun planned. I couldn’t wait to get started!

An Emotional Moment for Mum

Having rented a huge AirBnB in Elephant and Castle, Truley and Rob were only 20 minutes from The Asylum Chapel. With the sun shining and hair & make-up being done, Truley had the Bride vibe down with her silk and feathery PJ’s.

After we got the tunes blaring we did some cool flat lays with her details and their stationary. Taking advantage of the 70’s vibe furniture Truley took me upstairs to shoe me her dress and accessories…(a SPECTACULAR sun and moon tiara and the funkiest of gold shoes).

Then, Truley showed me her veil, I definitely had a teary moment… embroidered on the veil, in her mums handwriting, was ‘Never Forget, I Love You Millions, Mum xxx’ from the last birthday card Truley received before her mum passed away. A beautiful tribute and special way to have her mum close on her wedding day. 

Once Powder Blue Artistry had finished Truley got into her incredible dress by Halo and Wren Bridal. We had some peaceful bridal portraits before doing a first look between Father and Bride. I stepped out of the room allowing Truley’s dad to feel all his emotion in private, it was so sweet.

After the much celebrated first look with her bridesmaids, we hoped into the Lil & Blue to The Asylum Chapel.

We’re Going to the (Asylum) Chapel, And We’re Gonna Get Married ???? – A Stylish Wedding at Asylum Chapel.

Taking full advantage of the glorious sunny September day, we waited outside for the bridesmaids to arrive. Once inside, as everyone was finding their seats, the Celebrant India asked the guests make this an unplugged ceremony , but first for everyone to take a selfie and to send it to the couple. I love this! It meant the couple was able to have a picture of everyone who was there looking their absolute best!

The groomsmen were the first to make their cool entrance, followed shortly by Rob and his mum. After a quick hug and kiss, Rob stood patiently as the bridesmaid made their way down the aisle. Each one looking striking in their stylish, black dresses and their extraordinary colourful bouquets by Blossom & Threads.

What an Entrance into Asylum Chapel.

Clasping her dad’s hand, Truley then made her way towards her soon to be husband. Rob’s face lit up as soon as he saw her. If ever you were to describe the look of love, it’s when a bride and groom see each when walking up the aisle, and Rob’s really was a look full of love! Giving a quick kiss to her dad, Truley and Rob stood together as the Ring Warming started. What I love about a Ring Warming is that it’s an old tradition with Irish origins. The rings are passed through the hands of each guest so that the couple’s family and friends can infuse the rings with love and blessings. 

As most of the guests weren’t used to a celebrant led ceremony, it was such a breath of fresh air to see them experience the story telling of Rob and Truley’s relationship. Tales of how they met, their travels together, followed by a poem read out by all 6 of the bridesmaids.

Truley and Rob made a personal promise to each other, as the rings made their way back to the couple. After, the rings were been exchanged and the signing completed, India bought the couple back to the centre announcing them as Husband and Wife. Queue that sensational first kiss! Fist pumping their way up the aisle, they stopped for a kiss before leaving with a glass of champagne, so bad-ass.

Truley and Rob took a quiet moment whilst the guests were preparing for the confetti throw. This is a great time for all couples to really soak up the event and enjoy the moments after becoming officially married.

Double Decker, Drinking and Dancing at a Stylish Wedding at Asylum Chapel.

As drinks were served a guest book was put out to create a fingerprint tree. Friends and family caught up and enjoyed the chilled vibes. They then boarded an old double decker London bus, transporting them to 100 Barrington to really get the party started. 

Hushabye Films and I took the opportunity to take the fabulous couple for some once in a lifetime wedding portraits. Utilising the window light against the crumbling texture of the chapel, we got Truley and Rob to get in some creative poses. Taking advantages of Truleys’ EPIC split in her dress and making that focal point of most of the shots!

Who Says You Can’t Have Two Confetti Tunnels?!

Next, we took the couple off for more portraits after we got to 100 Barrington. This was a great tip I might add, as it means we didn’t have to interrupt the couple later. We parked the car next to the INSANE Rainbow mural, it made the pop of contrast the couples outfits!

Entering the venue into a second even bigger confetti tunnel, they started the reception off with a bang. The second drinks reception had well and truly got under way with the DJ playing and cocktails on tap. WHAT A VIBE!

Surrounded by greenery, Daydreamer Creative Studio’s banner really popped and added to the atmosphere of the reception! Rob and Truley had a few minutes to look over their set up before wedding breakfast. Therefore I thought I could sneak in some more portraits and in true classic Mark Horton style, I found this industrial brick wall. It just so happened to be next to large windows – getting that natural light aesthetic.

I have to say, these two really are a natural with their poses!
Then it was time to enjoy the delicacies offered by Kitchen Party Events!

Not a Dry Eye in the House!

First, Father of the Bride Des with his speech, talking beautifully about Truley’s mum. I know it’s emotional when a family member can’t be part of a special day but his words really bought a tear to everyone’s eye.

You could really feel the love enveloping this family on such a bittersweet day. After thanking Rob for taking such good care of his daughter, Des hugged Rob and handed the microphone over. Above all, Rob’s speech really touched every. It centred around how him and Truley met and how their relationship grew and how special she was to him. A true dedication of love!

Concluding the speeches were the best men, giving their individual speech to Truley & Rob.
Then after the guests migrated to the bar for a room changeover.

PARTY TIME at this stylish wedding in London!

After that, Jade and I took the wedding party for some fun group bridal party pics at the Brixton Mural. This is where everyone really got that party energy ramped up. Bringing out the last of the confetti canons, we let them off celebrating the end to such epic day and then headed to dance floor for the first dance and the start of the PARTAYY!

Rob led Truley onto the dancefloor and as their friends gathered round them. Truley teared up, she held her hand to her mouth, being overwhelmed that their day was almost at an end. Now it was time to really let go and enjoy the party! However, it seemed there was still one canon that hadn’t been let off…

What an EPIC day!!
