Embrace nature: A bohemian wedding is all about embracing the natural beauty of the world around us. Incorporate elements of nature into your décor, such as wildflowers, greenery, and natural wood. Consider having your ceremony outdoors in a natural setting, such as a field or by a lake. 2. Mix and match décor: One of the hallmarks of a bohemian wedding is a relaxed and eclectic aesthetic. Don't be afraid to mix and match different elements, such as vintage pieces, textured fabrics, and colourful accents. 3. Incorporate cultural elements: Bohemian style is all about embracing different cultures and traditions. Incorporate elements from different cultures into your wedding, such as henna tattoos, traditional music, and multicultural cuisine. 4. Keep the dress code relaxed: A bohemian wedding is a relaxed and laid-back affair, so don't stress about having a strict dress code. Encourage your guests to wear comfortable and flowy clothing that suits their personal style. 5. Personalise your wedding: A bohemian wedding should be a reflection of you and your partner's unique personalities and styles. Incorporate personal touches and meaningful details into your wedding, such as a special song, a family heirloom, or a heartfelt speech. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/10ccaedb-173b-4f3f-8571-9b05d4d2d112/IMG_2741.JPG Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - Planning Your Boho Wedding - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/shuttleworth-estate-how-a-venue-can-elevate-your-whole-event monthly 0.5 2024-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1010d7e7-1856-496c-bfd5-5b9affde4ecb/Path+to+the+Swiss+Cottage.JPG Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - Shuttleworth Estate: How a Venue can elevate your whole event - Make it stand out The pathway to another World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/d135c352-db30-4933-bf7c-eda9e57b943d/Inside+the+Swiss+Cottage.JPG Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - Shuttleworth Estate: How a Venue can elevate your whole event - Love is Intimate As with all the weddings I am asked to participate in, I always want my couple to feel as if they are within a world of their own with the ones they love close by. Unlike some venues, the Swiss Cottage can only hold around 20 people – and that was a squeeze, but still room enough to perform a handfasting! There were guests stood outside the venue, peeking their heads in, to witness the ceremony, as if providing a ring of love around the venue itself. It is always important for me to get to know my couple before performing their wedding, and this was no exception: as I expect most other celebrants can relate to, I have been performing ceremonies for couples that have had their weddings pushed further and further back due to Covid restrictions. I feel very grateful that it looks as if we have seen the last of the restrictions, but every wedding I do reminds me of the love and determination of these couples to show that when you know it’s right – you can make it work. I pride myself on always being on-hand, and available, during the wedding process, so my couple can trust that we can make it work together for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/c5597fa9-8e9a-4efc-aff0-1736cf520312/The+ceremony.JPG Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - Shuttleworth Estate: How a Venue can elevate your whole event - Love Has No Restrictions The Swiss Cottage is the ideal venue for intimate and personal weddings, be it an elopement or a ceremony that is for a couple to share with their nearest and dearest. The views over the Shuttleworth Estate are stunning for any type of wedding, although I must admit they were best enjoyed in the sun! With the choice of three venues across the Estate, there really was scope for my couple to choose a venue that felt personal to them and what they wanted for their wedding – and I was honoured to be able to give them the personalised service that they wanted. As a celebrant, it is one of my biggest goals to give couples a day that they can treasure forever: in whatever shape they desire! https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/tying-the-knot-handfasting monthly 0.5 2023-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/4c872a29-1dac-45c7-bd54-94b3d1eadc55/Ribbons.jpeg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - Tying the Knot - Handfasting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/05758c76-e9c7-45a7-840f-e820f8bcf65a/Handfasting+2.jpeg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - Tying the Knot - Handfasting Its foundations are actually unknown and may have overarching significance in many cultures. However, the commonly practiced modern handfasting is accepted as originating from a Celtic tradition, which may date back as far as 7000 B.C. It was treated as the engagement period lasting a year and a day, whereby, as a sign of unity, cords or torn cloth from old garments, bound the wrists of couples who chose to be married. At the conclusion of the twelve months, they would either declare their intent to marry, in which case the handfasting would have been considered their wedding, or the couple would part ways as being incompatible. Within Pagan and Wiccan cultures, a handfasting makes up the entire wedding ceremony, which is conducted by a High Priest or Priestess and is a vow of love, honour and respect for your partner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1616070997134-9RNISC3VDBE1I31H6CXX/Handfasting%2B%25282%2529.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - Tying the Knot - Handfasting - When I was training to be a celebrant, I conducted a lot of research into symbolic rituals that could be introduced into a wedding ceremony. My initial reaction to a handfasting wasn’t very dynamic at all, in fact I remember saying to my wife, that I wouldn’t go to deep into learning about it, or it’s origins, as it’s highly unlikely that I would ever perform one. I couldn’t have been more wrong! It was during the marketing phase of my learning that I realised that my ideal couples and the ceremonies I wanted to conduct, were definitely orientated towards the boho scene and rustic, barn weddings and outdoor locations. The reasons behind that can be explored in one of my other blog, ‘The Lakeside at Moor End and Why I enjoy Rustic/Outdoor Weddings.’ I realised then that crafting a simple handfasting into one of my scripts could provide that beautiful extra bit of ‘special’ into a couple’s day. So, I have said all of the above without actually telling you what a handfasting actually is… it’s the binding of a couple’s hands/wrists with cords or ribbons to symbolise the binding of two lives and two souls. It’s a beautiful ceremony within a ceremony and an ideal opportunity for the exchanging of additional vows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/6d2b626a-1967-436c-b4a4-1bfb12999ab4/Tying+the+Knot+1.jpeg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - Tying the Knot - Handfasting - Handfastings are best suited either before, during or after the exchanging of vows. As an independent celebrant, I would lay each cord or ribbon over the couple’s joined hands providing meaningful words as an explanation of the symbolic gestures it represents. Wrapping the ribbons around their hands I would form a knot over the top, giving each of the ends to the couple to hold. This is a lovely time for the couple to exchange their wedding vows or words of commitment. The itself can be just as symbolic. Personally, I like to form the infinity knot, as a sign of eternity. The final stage is to have the couple slowly pull each of the ends that they’re holding whereby they literally ‘Tie the Knot’ and where the term originates. For the remainder of the day the ribbons can be laid along the top table and it makes a wonderful keepsake of the special day. https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/the-lakeside-at-moor-end-and-why-i-enjoy-rusticoutdoor-weddings monthly 0.5 2024-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1629731403690-P3Y59IA1WHPVIYI4281F/Lakeside+4.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Lakeside at Moor End and Why I enjoy Rustic/Outdoor Weddings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1629731403397-R2RS3YXPOHUK8GNJZUY1/Lakeside+8.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Lakeside at Moor End and Why I enjoy Rustic/Outdoor Weddings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1629730995739-Y5P86MGN9SKZGRS62W9E/Lakeside+5.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Lakeside at Moor End and Why I enjoy Rustic/Outdoor Weddings - Make it stand out Laura & Brett, Mr & Mrs Anthony https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1629730131185-183P5DUQX3SM172GND6M/Lakeside+2.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Lakeside at Moor End and Why I enjoy Rustic/Outdoor Weddings - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1629731132829-JLB1LMXYMFFXNGG9WL8M/Lakeside+3.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Lakeside at Moor End and Why I enjoy Rustic/Outdoor Weddings - So, why do I love rustic or outside weddings? This question, which I have been asked on numerous occasions, came into my head as I stood in the field looking at all my surroundings. My first response to myself was, ‘Why wouldn’t I, this is tranquil?’ But that wouldn’t really answer the question. Firstly, I love all of my wedding ceremonies that I conduct. To me it’s the telling of the story and seeing the reactions of the bride, bridegroom and congregation that makes me feel that I have the best job in the world. However, delivering a ceremony outside, amongst the surroundings of our beautiful British countryside gives me a sense of serenity. Just standing there in the open, mapping someone’s journey to this point, makes me I feel at peace and I’m able to shut the rest of the world out, which has been ever more important due to the last year we’ve all had. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1629730824564-OI8DQBWOFY328FR7RAJN/Lakeside+1.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Lakeside at Moor End and Why I enjoy Rustic/Outdoor Weddings - Make it stand out Rustic Outside Ceremony https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1629730633169-G6HACSIZ8JM9KEJLRM34/Lakeside+6.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Lakeside at Moor End and Why I enjoy Rustic/Outdoor Weddings - Make it stand out Lakeside Moor End, Radwell, Beds https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/the-benefits-of-a-celebrant monthly 0.5 2021-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1623777978036-XQ25I2SX1UUBXJULP51F/eric-brehm-t5PlRnsXy1I-unsplash.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Benefits of Booking a Celebrant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1623778006650-VCS8IYSY3WSMT3UCOE9W/steven-ritzer-kb74nNqmUNw-unsplash.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Benefits of Booking a Celebrant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1623778008411-DG2FJBDQITJZ4ANNA1JZ/bruno-emmanuelle-ZpNBwBR38fA-unsplash.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Benefits of Booking a Celebrant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1623778033705-USFWA9K9TG78DAZTKT66/allef-vinicius-DmUbkltYsKI-unsplash.jpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Benefits of Booking a Celebrant https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/1623777528068-TAUQT49YVTE3U085D8WU/Rustic+Weddingjpg Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant Blog - The Benefits of Booking a Celebrant - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/tag/%23outdoorwedding monthly 0.5 https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/tag/%23weddingcelebrant monthly 0.5 https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/tag/%23weddings monthly 0.5 https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/tag/%23vineyardwedding monthly 0.5 https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/tag/%23barnwedding monthly 0.5 https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/tag/%23celebrant monthly 0.5 https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/tag/%23rusticwedding monthly 0.5 https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/blog/tag/%23hertfordshirecelebrant monthly 0.5 https://www.vincehawkescelebrant.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2024-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604a30c11d7977368a569d56/6ce91889-2643-407d-bc5d-ffecd577b785/Hertfordshire+Wedding+Celebrant+Vince.jpeg Wedding Celebrant Hertfordshire | Vince Hawkes Rustic Celebrant | Homepage - Hi, I’m Vince I am a relaxed rustic celebrant, with imagination and a passion for creativity, who wants to make the world smile.

Being a fully trained family liaison officer, I have the empathetic skills to support you during this traumatic time from our initial meeting until the end of the ceremony. It can be difficult to create a script that is truly reflects personally on someone so important and suitably honours their memory and a celebration of their life. Many people are stepping away from religious funerals as their family member or friend were not religious or were influenced by other faiths. Having taken the time to discuss with you your loved one’s history, personality and their journey through life, I would be honoured to prepare and deliver a eulogy which is compassionate and dignified reflecting upon all these characteristics. Let us celebrate their life, not mourn their passing.
