On 8th August 2026, Rita and Jess celebrated their love at Healing Manor.

Their summer wedding celebration blended their joint love for Formula 1 with a clever and stylish emerald green theme to create a picture of elegance and grace.

Bridal Party Attire

The bride donned a gorgeous gown from Coates Couture Bridal, a style designed by Sophia Tolli. A vision in white, the bride’s dress featured lace floral embroidery all the way down to the edges of her skirt, with a veil to match.

The bridal party all wore dresses from Proposals, in the same deep shade of ‘racing green’ that decorated the Barn, Healing Manor’s most popular wedding venue.

Venue Styling

The couple opted to use Ruby & Co to help bring their vision to life.

What first started as a mood board and the couple’s ideas turned into a wedding venue inspired by deep shades of green and their joint love for formula 1. The tables were decorated with beautiful white and cream florals, presented in taller and lower arrangements in the centre of their tables. Candles were lit to create a warmer atmosphere, a subtle addition to make the wedding feel more intimate.

The tables were named after the couple’s favourite F1 tracks, with their seating chart also a subtle nod to their favourite driver Max Verstappen, titled ‘Simply Lovely to Have you Here.’

Capturing the moment

Aimee Lince was on hand to help capture Rita and Jess’s special day.

Her natural photo style added to the candid moments of love that she captured throughout the day. The bride and groom praised her work:

“She encouraged us to spend time with each other and with our guests and to enjoy the day whilst she captured those precious moments.“

The couple’s favourite moments

When asked for their favourite moment, Rita and Jess couldn’t pick just one. They said:

It’s impossible to pick just one. The cocktail hour and mingling with our guests whilst soaking in all the love and excitement was amazing. Also the meal and getting to sit and enjoy some time together as newlyweds was perfect.”

Advice for future Healing Manor wedding couples

“You have to book to try and taste the menu beforehand, it’s so amazing you won’t regret having it twice and it builds the excitement for the day. “

“The original moated entrance is a great place for confetti and a group shot. Take some time away just the two of you to soak it all in, away from the chaos & finally, trust the staff, you won’t need to worry about a thing – they will take care of everything!”

“We also loved having a photobooth in the evening. It was such great fun and we loved sitting in the bridal suite before going to sleep reading through the messages in the guestbook and looking at everyone’s photos.“
