A Colourful, Love-Filled Celebration at Missenden Abbey
If you could bottle joy, this wedding would be it. From the second I arrived at Missenden Abbey, it was clear this day was going to be something special. The sun beamed down, the laughter was nonstop, and the whole place was bursting with colour, love, and that kind of pure, unfiltered happiness that makes you want to grab the person next to you and squeeze them tight.
A Humanist Ceremony Full of Heart
Let’s talk about this ceremony. Forget anything you think you know about wedding vows… This humanist ceremony was in a league of its own. Personal, emotional, and packed with moments that had everyone both wiping away tears and laughing their heads off. The couple poured their whole story into their vows, and you could feel the love in every single word. They made promises that weren’t just about the big moments, but the small, everyday ones too, the kind of love that shows up in morning coffees and silly in-jokes, as much as in the grand gestures.
Missenden Abbey provided the perfect backdrop, with its stunning architecture and soft, golden light pouring through the windows. If you’re looking for a venue that feels both timeless and intimate, this is it.
A Riot of Colour & A Whole Lot of Fun
Now, let’s talk about the vibes. This wedding wasn’t just colourful—it was an explosion of personality. From bold, bright florals to the most joyful outfits (yes to ditching tradition and wearing whatever makes you feel amazing!), every detail felt so them. It was one of those days where everything felt effortless… Like the couple had somehow managed to bottle up their energy, their humour, their complete and utter love for their people, and sprinkle it over every inch of the day.
And the dancing? Oh, it was wild. The kind of dance floor where you barely get a chance to put your drink down before someone’s pulling you in for a spin. Barefoot moves, epic singalongs (yes, I screamed the bridge to shake it off…!), and that perfect moment when everyone forgets they’re being watched and just goes for it.
The Magic of a Wedding That Feels Like You
This day was a perfect reminder that the best weddings aren’t about sticking to traditions or worrying about what you ‘should’ do. They’re about throwing one hell of a celebration with your favourite people, in a way that feels totally, unapologetically you.
So if you’re planning your own wedding and wondering whether you should break a few rules, add more colour, or make your ceremony as personal as possible… Let this be your sign. Do it. Your future self (and your wedding photos) will thank you.
