Pippa and Jamie’s Amazing April Wedding

Pippa and Jamie’s love story began at a friend’s wedding – quite fitting for the start of their own forever. What started as a spontaneous matchmaking attempt by the groom turned into a beautiful love story. Though Pippa initially ran from the idea of being set up at someone else’s wedding, fate intervened. The pair reconnected a month later during a night out, and the rest, as they say, is history.

After five wonderful years together, Jamie proposed on December 1st, 2023, to the soundtrack of Love Story by Taylor Swift — a moment that would later become part of their wedding day magic.

Pippa and Jamie spent one year and three months planning their dream wedding. Every detail was carefully considered, creating a day filled with charm, love, and a soft rustic elegance that reflected their personalities perfectly.

🌿 The Wedding Day

Why Manor Hill House?
From the moment they arrived at the driveway, Pippa and Jamie knew Manor Hill House was the one. The picturesque setting, friendly team, and the beautiful outdoor Pavilion sealed the deal. As Pippa described it:

“I was instantly blown away by how beautiful the venue was and just knew I wanted to get married there.”

Theme & Style:
A soft sage green colour palette was paired with hints of pink and white, evoking a fresh, springtime atmosphere. The overall look was natural, rustic, and effortlessly romantic.

🍴 Food & Drink

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a selection of delicious canapés. The sit-down meal featured:

• Main: Steak & Ale Pie with Seasonal Vegetables

• Dessert Trio: Chocolate Brownie, Treacle Sponge & Strawberry Cheesecake

Favours:
Each guest received a personalised log slice as both a favour and a place name — a rustic touch that tied in beautifully with the theme.

🎉 Evening Celebrations

The evening was packed with fun, laughter, and plenty of dancing. Pippa and Jamie chose Pro Wedding DJs to keep the dance floor alive and added a photobooth for guests to capture memories.

First Dance Highlight:
Dancing to Love Story surrounded by loved ones — the same song Jamie proposed with — was one of Pippa’s most cherished moments.

“Just dancing the night away with everyone I love in one place was magical.”

👗 The Fashion

Bride:
Pippa found her dream dress — the elegant Aisha style — at Wed2B in Wednesbury.

Groom:
Jamie looked dashing in a light navy three-piece suit, complete with a tartan waistcoat and sage green floral tie and pocket square, all sourced from Peter Posh in Stourbridge.

Bridal Party:

• The bridesmaids wore sage green gowns from EverPretty, with a special variation for the maid of honour.

• The flower girl wore a charming white midi dress from Monsoon with a sage bow.

• The groomsmen echoed the groom’s look in three-piece navy suits with coordinating sage green accessories.
