\"Relaxed<\/p>\n

I love a couple relaxed enough to bounce around on space hoppers on their wedding day. So much fun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In fact Ben and Rebecca’s June wedding was smiles a plenty; from the Baywatch first dance tune to the fun photo props for their guests. There was a really relaxed atmosphere, with Ben donning a navy waistcoat and open shirt for a smart casual groom look. Rebecca meanwhile looked so very beautiful in her romantic Catherine Deane<\/a> gown with a simple white flower crown. Talking of flowers, how gorgeous are the blooms? The wild feel of Rebecca’s bouquet is so dreamy.<\/p>\n

Oh and just you wait until you see the cake, you will be after a slice of the chocolate goodness that’s for sure.<\/p>\n

Many thanks today to Paul Underhill<\/a> for sharing these brilliant images with us.<\/p>\n
