Oh Me Oh My

Oh Me Oh My

Anna and Gavin are awesome like minded arty people and married in a beautiful venue called "Oh Me Oh My" a building located opposite the Liver building and the former bank of West Africa. The big open spaces made for a stunning environment for this city soiree with loads of nice details and a wedding dress to die for.

Anna: We live in Liverpool and we love the city so we wanted to get married here. The ceremony took place in Liverpool Parish Church, which is near the waterfront right opposite the Liver Building. We looked at a few different reception venues and none were quite right, but a few months before the wedding we heard about Oh Me Oh My (A Secret Space) through a friend. It had just opened so we were lucky enough to get a booking despite the short notice. It was just round the corner from the church and exactly what we wanted-laid back and unusual yet comfortable for all our guests, old and young. The venue comes beautifully decorated with vintage furniture, light strings and candles, so we just hired some bunting to complete the look. For the flowers, we wanted something very relaxed and initially thought about wildflowers in jam jars. After meeting with the florist we went for large Kilner jars and wooden boxes with roses, succulent plants and thistles for a rustic feel.

I knew I wanted a 'simple, elegant wedding dress' and an internet search came up with Sabina Motasem, who was quite a find. She's a young designer who allows you to have some input into the design. I went for her 'Isadora' dress and was able to choose the neckline, the colour (soft blush) and the Art Nouveau waistband to make my dress unique. Sabina was wonderful and I was delighted with my dress. Gavin's clothes were from Gieves and Hawkes and the Best Man wore an identical outfit, while the groomsmen wore their own suits. Gavin wanted something more relaxed than a suit so went for separate charcoal grey trousers and a dark blue jacket, with a pink shirt and tie. The bridesmaids' dresses were dark green and like my wedding dress fairly simple. We bought them on the high street from Coast.

During the ceremony our friends Frank and Yorick gave readings and the Assistant Priest Michelle gave a wonderful and very moving sermon centring on a painting by Marc Chagall that is special to us. After she had pronounced us husband and wife our one year old son Lorcan was bought to the front, which was a lovely moment. Following the ceremony we all walked (in terrible weather!) to the reception venue, which was luckily just a few minutes away. We went for a buffet followed by a selection of cakes delivered to each table on cake stands for dessert. Our wedding cake was made of different kinds of cheese from the Liverpool Cheese Company. The evening entertainment was provided by our friends The Camembert Quartet and Gary Sollars aka Dollman Disco - everyone hit the dance floor straight after the first dance and didn't stop all night! We wanted the reception to be captured in the photographs and we were keen to have informal shots as well as formal groupings so after looking for the right photographer we found Craig + Kate, whose relaxed and original style suited our day perfectly.
