\"Cotswolds<\/p>\n

I do love a laid back and fun wedding atmosphere, which today’s real wedding<\/a> feature has in spades, not to mention joyous vibes all round. Yay!<\/p>\n

Becky and Paul were married in Becky’s parent\u2019s garden in the beautiful Cotswolds<\/a> on the 18th August 2018. They held their ceremony in the round surrounded by the lush gardens and Becky’s brother was their celebrant. How wonderful! A party then followed in the gardens al fresco with gazebos providing shelter, complete with ice cream van and pizza truck. Yum.<\/p>\n

I love how colourful their day was, with bright bold florals and homegrown elements galore. The outfits were also super stylish. Paul was suited and booted in Ted Baker and I adore the pink waistcoat and floral bow tie combo. Becky chose a stunning embellished gown by Needle and Thread<\/a>, which she teamed with a wildflower bouquet. Didn’t they look amazing<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Huge thanks goes to Jonny Barratt Photography<\/a> for sharing with us these super beautiful images. What a special day indeed.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

My parent\u2019s garden in Gloucestershire in the Cotswolds. I had always wanted there to be a wedding in my parent\u2019s garden, and was so thrilled we did there for ours.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits & Accessories<\/h3>\n

Wedding dress – It was from Needle and Thread. I have loved the Needle and Thread style for a long time. I bought the bridesmaids dresses from there first, then chose mine, it was the first and only dress I tried! My earrings were from Catherine Zoraida.<\/p>\n

Groom\u2019s attire- Ted Baker was heavily involved, but with bow ties for the groom and groomsmen made by Gung Ho! They donate money from every purchase to Bee charities.<\/p>\n

Our rings were commissions made by Laura Gravestock.<\/p>\n

Post wedding we\u2019re just glad not to be planning a wedding anymore, and people not asking us when we are going to hurry up and get married.<\/p>\n

Advice For Other Couples<\/h3>\n

Start getting ready really early, don\u2019t mess around with chairs and bunting.<\/p>\n

Enjoy every minute. Practice your first dance in your wedding day shoes!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get carried away, remember why you\u2019re doing it.<\/p>\n
