Real Wedding: Rachelle & Liam’s Elegant Celebration at The City Rooms

Rachelle and Liam’s wedding at the stunning City Rooms in Leicester City Centre was a day of elegance, intimacy, and seamless wedding styling. From their heartfelt ceremony at Ansty Frith House registry office to the glamorous reception in the City Rooms’ beautiful ballroom, every element was carefully curated to reflect their love story and vision for their big day.

Styling That Made the Vision Come Alive

The ballroom at The City Rooms was transformed into a timeless setting for Rachelle and Liam’s reception. Using Sparkle Event Styling’s styled hire service, the couple’s ideas and personal touches came together flawlessly. Rachelle shared, “Sometimes it’s hard to imagine how all your ideas will come together, but we put our complete faith in the team at Sparkle to deliver—and boy did they do just that. We honestly couldn’t have asked or hoped for better.”

The couple chose to add a personal touch to their day by creating their own centrepieces. These were seamlessly integrated into the decor, complementing the professional styling so beautifully that, as Rachelle said, “None of my guests realised they had been made by us!”

The result was a cohesive, elegant look that perfectly suited the grandeur of The City Rooms and the couple’s aesthetic. From the colour scheme to the finer details, every piece worked in harmony, making the ballroom a magical setting for their celebration.

Magical Moments to Cherish

For Rachelle, the standout moment was having her firstborn son walk her down the aisle, a memory she’ll treasure forever. Liam’s favourite moment? Watching Rachelle walk towards him, a moment so emotional it brought tears to his eyes. “It’s a feeling like no other when you lock eyes on that aisle for the first time,” Rachelle shared. “All the nerves disappear, and for that moment, it really does feel like it’s just you two in the room.”

Advice for Future Couples

Rachelle offered some wise advice for future couples planning their wedding decor and celebrations:

Give yourself plenty of time to plan and prepare. “We booked our wedding just shy of a year from getting engaged, but in hindsight, 18 months would have been better.”
Be realistic about your budget. Costs can add up quickly, especially when you have a specific aesthetic in mind.
Secure your vendors early and trust their expertise. “This is what they do for a living—they know what works and what doesn’t.”
