\"Rustic<\/p>\n

Is there ever a more pretty and on trend colour scheme than blush pink and gold? I think not. Classic and timeless, it just works does it not? Plus it is a colour way that can be used no matter the time of year, as proved perfectly by today’s real wedding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Set in the glorious Norfolk countryside is Narborough Hall Gardens, which provided the stunning backdrop to Alice and Andy’s autumn affair. Their day was a master-class in rustic styling with so many DIY touches to boot. One of my fave crafty projects of theirs has to be the key and door seating plan, which looked so<\/em> good. I have to say the lighting was super romantic and dreamy too. Think fairy lights and candles in abundance, which gave a really magical atmosphere. One of the most beautiful shots captured today by the amazing Katherine Ashdown Photography<\/a>, has to be the candlelit staircase portrait. It gave me goosebumps! But rest assured they are all just breathtaking, thanks for sharing them with us Katherine.<\/p>\n

Onto the outfits, which were all of course utterly stylish. The florals, which were just so darling and not forgetting that scrumptious looking cake. WOW.<\/p>\n
