Kimpton Fitzroy London Wedding, UK
KATIE & SEBASTIEN
Pure elegance at the Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel in London.
Katie and Sebastien’s wedding at the Kimpton Fitzroy was the epitome of elegance and charm, and I had the honour of planning this spectacular event. As a destination wedding planner and a London wedding planner, I’ve had the pleasure of orchestrating numerous weddings, but this blush pink wedding stood out for its perfect blend of sophistication and personal touches.
The Kimpton Fitzroy, a landmark building with an ornate terracotta facade and a history dating back to 1898, provided a stunning backdrop for this autumn celebration. The grandeur of the marble-filled lobby and the original Zodiac mosaic set the tone for a day that was as rich in detail as it was in history. The ballroom, with its ornate coffered ceiling, mezzanine gallery, and full wall of windows, was the perfect venue for Katie and Sebastien’s dream pastel wedding.
Katie’s journey to find the perfect wedding planner was a familiar one. "Before hiring Emma, I was spending hours and hours and hours researching wedding venues with 0 joy. I was starting to get overwhelmed and stressed," she said. As a busy couple with demanding jobs, Katie and Sebastien needed a London wedding planner who could take the reins and turn their vision into reality. From our first coffee meeting, it was clear that the Kimpton Fitzroy was the ideal venue for them. "Just looking at the photos on her tablet, Seb and I were sold! Emma had our vibe and personality nailed so quickly, it was very impressive."
The colour palette for this blush pink wedding was a delightful mix of pink, lilac, and neutral tones, which beautifully complemented the ballroom's elegance. Katie wore a stunning Pronovias gown, and her bridesmaids looked radiant in pink bridesmaid dresses. Even Mabel, their beloved dog, was a charming addition to the day, a testament to the Kimpton Fitzroy’s pet-friendly policy.
One of the standout features of this Kimpton Fitzroy wedding was the ceremony in the ballroom. With a string quartet playing Bridgerton-themed music, the atmosphere was both romantic and regal. Guests enjoyed drinks and canapes in the Palm Court while our team reset the ballroom for dinner—a feat accomplished in record time.
Katie and Sebastien’s personalised touches made the day uniquely theirs. They had wedding newspapers titled "The Kimpton Times," filled with fun information about their journey together. The heart-shaped place cards and the cake, a small but significant detail, added a playful touch. "Emma gave me the confidence to go with what I wanted rather than what was expected," Katie noted. This sentiment was evident in every aspect of the day, from the floral-heavy modern arrangements to the heart-shaped cake with "forever baby" piped onto it.
The reception was a lively affair. The best men, donning ‘Drink Fairy’ badges, handed out alcohol miniatures to guests, who loved the variety and the whimsy of it all. The evening party, featuring a DJ and Sax combo, got everyone on the dancefloor straight away.
Katie’s testimonial captures the essence of what it means to be a destination wedding planner in London: "Emma has style, taste and class and that is evident by everyone she puts forward. It’s A** teams only." This blush pink wedding was a testament to the power of collaboration and understanding the couple’s vision. "I also loved how Emma gave me the confidence to go with what I wanted rather than what was expected, which is a real pressure I felt."
The Kimpton Fitzroy’s enchanting ballroom and beautifully restored event spaces made it a dream venue for this pastel wedding. The combination of classic and contemporary elements throughout the hotel, from the Pyrenean marble staircase to the Victorian facade, created numerous photo-worthy moments, adding to the couple’s cherished memories.
For Katie and Sebastien, their Kimpton Fitzroy wedding was more than just a day; it was an experience filled with joy, love, and personalised touches that reflected their personalities perfectly. As Katie put it, "We will forever be thankful for all your amazing help and you absolutely made our day incredible. Anyone thinking of booking a planner and stylist, Emma is your girl."
Being a destination wedding planner in London allows me to create magical moments in iconic venues like the Kimpton Fitzroy. Each wedding is unique, tailored to the couple’s desires, and executed with precision and flair. Katie and Sebastien’s blush pink wedding was a perfect example of how attention to detail, understanding the couple’s vision, and choosing the right venue can create a truly unforgettable celebration.
In conclusion, Katie and Sebastien’s wedding at the Kimpton Fitzroy was a masterpiece of pastel elegance and personal charm. The combination of a stunning venue, thoughtful details, and a clear vision brought to life by a dedicated London wedding planner made this day one for the books. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Emma, I don’t even want to think about what the process of organising my wedding and the day would have been like without you!" Katie’s words resonate deeply, highlighting the importance of having a professional by your side to navigate the complexities of wedding planning and to ensure that every detail is perfect.
