Sarah & Gianluca’s Monday Wedding at The Merewood Hotel, Windermere

Proof that Mondays are the new Saturdays!

 

There’s something incredibly meaningful about a midweek wedding. Maybe it’s the quiet calm, or the way your guests take time out of their lives just to celebrate you. For Sarah & Gianluca, their Monday wedding at the stunning Merewood Hotel in Windermere was the perfect reflection of that magic—a day filled with intention, love, and heartfelt moments.

​

With guests travelling from Ireland, Canada, and across the UK, it was clear this wasn’t just a wedding—it was the start of one BIG and beautiful celebration with all their favourite people. And what better setting than the Lake District, with the Merewood’s timeless charm and sweeping views setting the stage for a weekend to remember?

​

Sarah & Gianluca have one of those stories that just makes sense. They met on their very first day at university, living just a few doors apart in halls. From first hellos to studying throughout uni, graduations, and even a pandemic (which made the decision for them to move in together!), they’ve grown up side by side—and built something real and lasting through it all.

​

Their wedding day reflected every bit of that closeness. Forget sticking to tradition—these two saw each other a few times on the morning of the wedding, choosing comfort and connection over custom. It set the tone for a day that was totally them.

​

Before the ceremony, they shared a private first look and exchanged their vows, just the two of them. No audience, no pressure—just the most intimate moment that felt like the heart of the day.

​

Everything about this wedding was just perfect. From the relaxed, unhurried morning to the joy of being surrounded by friends and family from near and far, Sarah & Gianluca showed that when you stay true to who you are, the day becomes so much more than just a schedule of events—it becomes a memory that lives in everyone’s hearts.

​

So if you’re thinking about doing things a little differently? Let this be your sign. Mondays are officially in. Traditions are optional. And love, as Sarah & Gianluca showed us, is best celebrated your own way.
