I’ve updated my wedding venue review of the amazing @ashmoleanevents with some truly stunning new images, including this beauty from @zakicharles.

Wedding venue review: Ashmolean Museum

http://www.hanamidream.co.uk/wedding-venue-review-ashmolean-museum/
___
@ashmoleanevents gives you maximum impact with minimal effort, as the backdrop of this venue needs no help in packing a punch – the wow factor is there for you already! Plus your ‘something old’ would be sorted in an instant.
___
This is a beautiful hidden gem of a wedding venue in Oxford with catering from @clerkenwellgreenevents. It provides a truly wonderful labyrinth of options to hold a wedding or special occasion.

Lovely kind words are like a ray of sunshine on a grey day. Many thanks to @ashmoleanevents for sharing.

Hope you had a lovely weekend. What did you do this fourth of July? Did you celebrate the easing of lockdown with a trip to the pub, a hair cut, or finally tying the knot?

This Independence Day also marked the 6th birthday of Hanami Dream!

▪️six years since my first styled shoot of Alice in Wonderland with the wonderful @farrowphoto
▪️six years since my first tweet in 2014, to a combined social media network of nearly 7,000 followers now
▪️six years since my first blog post - now 387 blog posts later!
___
This year though my own celebrations were a bit more subdued. With over 100 days of lockdown under my belt and home schooling, I’m quite exhausted.

From the 4th of July, weddings and civil partnersh

From the 4th of July, weddings and civil partnerships can now take place again in most of England. However there will be a number of restrictions in place for these to be able to go ahead:

▪️ No more than 30 people in total at ceremony
▪️ No wedding receptions
▪️ No food and drink
▪️ Not too long
▪️ No walking down the aisle with your father
▪️ No singing
▪️ Hand washing
▪️ Social distancing
___
Weddings will look and feel very different for a little while and may not suit everyone. Take a look at the blog this week for my take on the new restrictions. http://www.hanamidream.co.uk/new-rules-for-weddings-during-a-pandemic/ [link in bio]
___
One concern at the moment is the uncertainty of how long these types of measures will be in place. Lockdown could return (nationally or locally) at any time or restrictions could ease further. There is no knowing how long we will need to live with these rules.
___
Perhaps these restrictions will focus couples on what a wedding really means to them. This will challenge wedding traditions and force couples to think in new ways to hold their wedding.
___
I’d love to hear if you’re having a wedding in the next few months and how you’re dealing with the restrictions. Lockdown has certainly got people thinking more creatively, so I’m sure there will be some novel ideas. Look out for my alternative suggestions for ways to be given away within social distancing rules coming soon.

With government guidance changing, its looking likely that small intimate weddings can start to go ahead from 4th July for up to 30 people.
___
Micro weddings keep things small, personal and meaningful. Not always in the extreme of eloping but a step away from traditions and expectations. Making the day a wonderful experience for everyone, good value for money and taking government guidelines into consideration.

Feels like there’s lots of tricky decisions to tackle at the moment. For me, one of these has been to pause my marketing support for the time being.
I’m currently taking a break from the business side of things due to continuing family commitments in the unprecedented circumstances.

Where possible, I’ll continue to blog (and there’s some great guest posts, wedding inspiration and other content in the pipeline to share). Otherwise, there’s one job where my focus needs to be right now. My time is dedicated to one thing. And that’s being a mother.

I’ll review, regroup and reassess things over the next few months.
Meanwhile ‪my award winning wedding blog will continue to provide wedding inspiration in the beautiful Oxfordshire Cotswolds, supporting stunning venues and local wedding suppliers.

What a strange few months we’ve been living through. A time when pretty much everything in our diaries has been wiped out. When plans have all been put on hold. It has all felt a little surreal, uncertain and apprehensive.
___
Obviously weddings have been greatly affected by current events with no sign yet on when they will be possible and in what format they will take when they are allowed again.
___
Meanwhile, @staceylouise_weddingplanner from @ashmoleanevents in Oxford, has put together these lovely ideas for how you can still celebrate your original wedding date whilst plans are on hold.
