Bhuwan, from India, and Yutong, from China, first crossed paths while in the UK. Dreaming of a European-style wedding, they knew this special place had to be their “I do” location. Their wedding planner, Valentina from The Stars Inside, worked magic, helping them shape the perfect wedding vision. With a fantastic team in tow, they meticulously planned every detail, and voila! Their Euridge Manor wedding was a burst of colors, blooms, and personality. What’s more, they pulled off this impressive feat in less than two months!
Picture a stunning boathouse ceremony with an altar decked out in floral pillars, offering a breathtaking view of the water. After the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, the magic continued with a garden reception that was equally as enchanting. Imagine tables adorned with vibrant blooms, delicate linens, and elegant settings, creating a feast for the eyes. To add a touch of sophistication, an outdoor chandelier hung overhead, completing the picture-perfect scene.
As much as we’d love to keep gushing about this extraordinary event, we’ll let the incredible photos captured by Rebecca Carpenter do the talking. From the sweet first look to the charming boat portraits and all the beautiful moments in between, this celebration is truly a must-see.
The Couple:
Yutong and Bhuwan
The Wedding:
Euridge Manor, United Kingdom
Discovering the Dream Dress a Week Before the Wedding
I found my wedding dress in China just a week before the big day! I wanted something with some Chinese elements but not so much that it would look out of place in the British countryside. The feather cape was the perfect touch. It looked unique and elegant. I was very happy when I found it after trying on many other dresses.
Surreal Moments: Walking Down the Aisle and Bhuwan’s Emotional Reaction
The ceremony was definitely the highlight of the day. When the music started and it was my turn to walk down the aisle, it felt so surreal. I especially loved the few minutes when I walked down those stairs and saw Bhuwan and our family members all standing in the boathouse, looking so beautiful. Bhuwan’s special moment was right after the ceremony when we walked out of the boathouse, and our musicians started playing “Married Life” from “Up.” Our fantastic photographer captured the moment he teared up and wiped his eyes.
Pulling Off Their Dream Euridge Manor Wedding In Less Than Two Months
We planned our wedding in less than two months! I got my dress one week before the wedding and our wedding ring just two days before the big day. We were lucky that our top-pick venue and many top-pick vendors were available. Our wedding planner did the magic for us to bring everything together in a very short period. When we first saw her website, we were instantly smitten with her style. She clearly cared about her couples, so we knew we were in good hands. She helped us find all the best vendors, put thought into every little detail, and delivered a wedding that was even better than we imagined. Since colorful flowers were something I wanted, she helped us find florists who could provide them. Picking the florist set the tone for the wedding. Our venue was dry hire, so Valentina helped us pick unique furniture, plates, and utensils to complete the look. She also helped us pick live music performances that took the feel to another level.
Navigating Expenses Without A Concrete Budget
We only had a vague idea of how much we wanted to spend on our wedding, and we didn’t create a clear budget initially. We ended up spending way more than we thought we would. We absolutely loved our wedding in the end, but if we had to do it again, we would start with a clearer budget. Flowers were our most significant expense. Having lots of colorful flowers was one of the few things I wanted from the start. We didn’t realize how much they would cost. But was it worth it? Absolutely! The flowers our florist put together were stunning and a defining element of our wedding.
Making Their Loved Ones Feel at Home was Top Priority
It was essential to us that our family members have a great day. We only had our parents and my sister at the wedding, and both sides of the family traveled from Asia to be there. We wanted to ensure they felt comfortable and at ease the whole time. We put “dad,” “mom,” and “little sister” in Chinese for my family and Hindi for Bhuwan’s family on the name cards instead of their names. It was a nice gesture to make our families feel more at home.
