The day after, we all flew to Italy! Alice & Jackson’s perfect Exeter wedding, with Grace Elizabeth Photography

Published by Claire Gould on

A super stylish, utterly beautiful intimate wedding for you today – and one I’ve been beyond excited to share. Alice and Jackson married with their closest, most special people in the world… then the following day, headed to Tuscany all together! Their day is perfect, the images are toe-tinglingly amazing, and every moment of this wedding beams with joy. Images are by the exceptionally brilliant Grace Elizabeth Photography, who gets a gorgeous review from the happy couple!

Wedding photographer review

We honestly couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos! Grace was amazing – not only are the photos stunning, but she felt like part of the family throughout the day. She made everyone feel so comfortable, brought so much fun and creativity, and captured the vibe of our little wedding so beautifully. We would recommend her to absolutely everyone!

Your best wedding moment or memory

It was all perfect! The sun was shining, and we had the best time celebrating our wedding with family – both in Exeter and our trip to Italy straight afterwards! Jackson says his favourite memory was watching me walk down the aisle.

Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)

After 12 years together (since school!), we wanted nothing more than a relaxed day with our closest family. The next morning we all jetted off to Tuscany for a few unforgettable days, and once everyone flew home, we carried on our honeymoon in Florence and Milan. It couldn’t have been more perfect!

Venue name + review

Venue was the Jury Room and Exeter’s Historic Guildhall. It was perfect, super central and full of character and history.

Tell us a little about your outfits – both of you!

I always knew I wanted to wear a short dress, just felt very me and went with the chill, fun vibe of the day.
Jackson’s suit was from Moss Brothers. As were all the men’s suits on the day, super helpful in the Exeter branch!

Dress or suit shop name + review

My dress, veil and shoes were all bought from Champagne & Charlotte in Bideford – couldn’t recommend enough! All was perfect. Dress was by Watters, Shoes were Charlotte Mills. Alterations were done by Lorraine at https://www.philhamhousedressmaker.co.uk/

Florist name + review

Dingles Florist in Barnstaple. Our flowers were perfect and exactly what we asked for. We loved having the freesias, peonies, and roses included, as they hold such a special meaning for our family.

Stationery maker’s name + review

I made our invitations myself on Canva.

Wedding readings?

We had two readings, a poem read by my little sister, Ellie. And another poem read by my father-in-law, Jason.

Hair + makeup name + review

My hair was done by Claire (my mother-in-law), and my make up done by Jasmine (my sister-in-law). Both are so important to me and so talented at what they do. They run Cross Street Social (hair and homeware studio) in Barnstaple.
