Andreea and Lucas wanted their wedding day to be stress-free, so they brought me on board to coordinate and manage their day, from setting up their décor to managing their supplier team and timings of their wedding day. In the months leading up to their big day, we discussed their wedding plans, including all the carefully curated décor and details.
They fell in love with Nonsuch Mansion in Surrey, a historic Georgian house steeped in history, nestled in Nonsuch Park. Drawn to the stunning interiors and beautiful grounds, Andreea & Lucas loved the feeling and energy of the spaces, and the location was ideal for the many international guests who travelled to attend their wedding.
The day began with bridal prep for Andreea and the bridesmaids in the light and airy bridal suite, while Lucas and the groomsmen got ready at home before arriving ahead of the ceremony.
The styling of the wedding spaces was elegantly simple, allowing the architectural details to shine. The ceremony and wedding breakfast took place in the same space, featuring a grand mantlepiece and a mirror that played with the light.
Andreea and Lucas envisioned a romantic and sophisticated wedding, with blush and ivory tones complemented by greenery (including olive leaves) and subtle touches of blue in the floral arrangements. The ceremony overlooked the lawn, where large floral displays created a captivating focal point. The mantlepiece held an abundance of bud vases and floating candles, adding to the romantic ambiance.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks and canapés on the lawns, accompanied by live music from a guitarist. A delightful vintage ice-cream cart added a fun twist to the reception. Later, everyone gathered at round tables for a delicious three-course meal. The table centrepieces featured abundant flowers and elegant tea lights.
Andreea and Lucas infused their nationalities into the celebration through their stunning three-tier cake. Each sugar flower represented a different nationality: American Rose, Romanian Peony, Dutch Tulip, and Italian White Lily. Olive leaves symbolized peace and friendship, while gold leaves signified rebirth, fertility, and growth. Their cake flavours included lemon drizzle, white chocolate and raspberry, and carrot cake.
A flower wall with the neon sign ‘All you need is love’ served as a perfect backdrop for the photobooth, capturing memories throughout the day. As night fell, guests danced to a DJ and indulged in late-night pizza.
Personal touches were present throughout the styling, with their love story presented as signage, pre-wedding couple photos in frames, and even Dutch Stroopwafels as favours (a nod to Lucas’ heritage).
Lucas also sourced Lambrusco, a sparkling red wine from the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy where he is from, for the drinks reception. A special white wine was served at the wedding breakfast from the region in France he grew up in.
Andreea & Lucas’ wedding was a true reflection of their personalities, and it was wonderful to see all the personal touches they included. It was a beautiful day filled with love and laughter, and I’m honoured I was part of their chosen supplier team.
