A Relaxed Boho Wedding On Chelsea Beach

Despite recreating their first date – right down to the same car he drove that night – Patrick’s proposal still took Jessica by complete surprise.

“He proposed on the pier where we had gone for a walk after our first date. You would think that I would have clued on to what was happening,” Jessica explained.

Their seaside wedding on Chelsea Beach was everything that they had hoped for; a relaxed boho vibe complete with DIY elements and plenty of fairy lights. With help from family and a year of preparation, all the little elements of the day came together nicely.

“My mother sewed so many white cones for our white paper decoration. My mother-in-law made the delicious take-homes. My dad made the frames that held all our place cards. Quite a few other bits and pieces were created in some crafter-noon sessions with my bridesmaids. A lot has been re-used at other weddings since which is nice.”

Surrounded by family and friends, Jessica’s favourite moment was simple.
