A Day of Love and Laughter at Bardney Hall – Charlotte & Lloyd

Published Aug 2024

Charlotte & Lloyd – What absolute marriage goals! They never stopped laughing or smiling the entire day and it was extremely infectious! They were both so laid back and enjoying themselves that their couples photos nearly didn’t even happen! It was so fantastic to finally work with the amazing team at Bardney Hall in North Lincolnshire for the first time.

The Beginning

Charlotte says “Me and Lloyd both met while we were working at a supermarket. We were both friends for 5 years as I was living in Lincoln studying, and one day he drunkenly asked me on a date and the rest is history.”

“Lloyd proposed to me on New Year’s Day, on the sofa watching Home Alone (my favourite Christmas film).”

Top tip from the newlyweds

“Make sure to make time for yourselves in the planning process as you can get lost in it and forget about the reason why you are marrying each other.”

The Wedding

Meet Lloyd

We started the day with Lloyd and his groomsmen in his home in Scunthorpe! The guys were super keen to get their prep shots (which made a refreshing change to be honest!) The dress rehearsal went swimmingly, it’s always good to check everyone’s trousers fit and that no one’s lost a shoe or anything!

If you’ve seen any of my previous Real Wedding Stories; you’ll know I always start with the guys first because they get ready a lot quicker (sorry girls, it’s true!) and it’s much easier for them to take their jacket off again and relax if they want to!

You know, I’d say it was just as much Charlotte & bridesmaid Ellie’s day as it was Charlotte & Lloyds! I absolutely loved the vibe and the bond between these two; far exceeded bride and maid of honour, these two girls are soul mates through and through! The ladies got ready just a few doors down from Lloyd with brother-of-the-bride Jason who very kindly gave up his home for the morning!

Cocktail hour

When we got to Bardney Hall, there were cocktails, champagne, canapés and even an ice cream bar waiting for us! The guests all enjoyed some garden games while we listened to the orchestral soundtrack from Bridgerton (my favourite!)
