Grace Dewhurst has worked on the PR team for NWS for many seasons and has recently gotten engaged to the lovely Steven. It’s so exciting for one of our own team members to be getting married! Grace has begun her mission to prepare for the big day and is letting us share her journey with her through her blog.
With the UK’s largest consumer wedding show at my finger tips, The National Wedding Show, I thought planning my own wedding would be a doddle. However, with just nine months to plan the perfect ‘City Wedding’, we’ll see how easy it really is…
My fiancé, Steven and I chose our church and venue almost immediately. We both loved The Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great in Smithfield Market, London, for its rich history and spooky interior (so spooky in fact, Steven had nightmares after we visited the Rector!) Also, we are both massive film fans and the church has played a big part in many films including Sherlock Homes, Four Weddings and a Funeral , Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Elizabeth: The Golden Age and The Other Boleyn Girl to name just a few…followed by a reception at Haberdashers Hall, also in Smithfield Market.
We wanted a venue close by to the church and one that complemented the age of it (St Bartholomew the Great is more the 1,000 years old!). Of course, Haberdashers Hall was a perfect choice, modern in design but seeped in history, the hall is just a few second stroll. Although apparently on her last visit, the Queen took a chauffer from St Bartholomew’s to Haberdashers Hall!! Hopefully none of our guests will be feeling so regal.
With the venue sorted, it’s onto the next task on the list – tracking down the dream dress. Wish me luck!
