Spring Wedding in Sheffield. Ceremony in the Woods followed by a Kelham Island Reception

A celebrant wedding by the water and food and drinks in Kelham was perfection for Jade and Jamie’s wedding day.

I love a wedding at Kelham Island. There’s so many pockets of gorgeousness and steeped in history from the Steel Work Days.

When it comes to your wedding day, it is so easy to go to a blog post telling you what you need to make your wedding day a “wedding day”. You get a tick list of all the things you need and what you think you have to include to make your day memorable and as though having all of these things makes your wedding a “wedding”.

Jade and Jamie did this, they planned their big day, hired their Manor House venue, booked all their suppliers and as time ticked on they realised that the day they were planning didn’t represent them as a couple. They made the very hard decision to literally throw all of their wedding plans out of the window and start again from scratch.

Their ceremony took place at Dam Flask, overlooking the water and sheltered by the trees. They hired a celebrant to really make their ceremony personal to them and did their own readings. Then it was off to Kelham at the Saw Grinders Union for amazing food and drinks and a laid back atmosphere.

What started off as a stately home wedding which had a formality about it turned into a stylish laid back affair that really represented them both…and that shows on their faces.

When it comes to our wedding days we have to do what speaks to us. Don’t feel like you have to have a certain day in order for it to be a ‘wedding’. Your wedding day is about the two of you and how you want to celebrate this special occasion in your life.

If you needed a sign from the universe to stop saying yes to all the things that don’t feel like you- then this is it! Jade & Jamie’s day was authentic to them, and that will always be the most special way to remember your wedding day.
