Sussex Wedding Bonanza | Gooseberry House
For the ultimate Sussex Wedding Venue CHOOSE A GREENHOUSE. I think greenhouses might be on a par with beaches as my happy places. As the ceremony took place - led by Kate’s uncle - the rain bucketed down on the glass roof and all I could think of was how wonderfully cosy it all felt. Here we are, bathed in glorious light, surrounded by plants and colour. We can hear and see the rain, but we are warm and dry and feeling smug. Protected.
And of course, as it so often does, the rain paused for confetti. It stayed pretty dry for the rest of the day, and when it returned we had polytunnels galore to gallivant in. This absolute gem of a venue - The Gooseberry House - is only a 25 min drive from Brighton (which was a gift when heading home) and I’d never heard of it until K&B enquired with me. After a quick google I was so excited - garden centre wedding?! (Read this blog on my fave Brighton & Sussex Wedding Venues). Am I living my dream mid-30s life? I had hoped to pick up some bird seed and a candle or two whilst there but (understandably) the shop was closed due to a wedding. I’ll be back - the ceramics are all I’ve been able to think about…
Reasons why this gorgeous sussex wedding was everything:
🧡 Polytunnels are everything
🩷 Searching for the hidden names in the henna
💛 Exiting the ceremony in style
🩵 A tiny new addition to Kim Williams Weddings Grubby Client Gang
💚 FaceTimes with guests that can’t make it
🧡 Entertaining littles with homemade streamer bunting
🩷 Being a cool big cousin-in-law
💛 Big speech laughs from Grandma
🩵 Bro and sis-law and their sillies
💚 Smoke machines and fairy light magic in the greenhouse
You know I’m all about the fun. But even more so, I’m all about the inbetweens. Details and glances and looks that mean something. Not because they are the most aesthetically or instagram appealing, because they are authentic moments and memories frozen in time.
They don’t ‘perform’ best on the grid - but they are my favourites and I know a lot of yours too 🙏🏼
