\"Marquee<\/p>\n

Have you ever considered hosting a marquee wedding<\/a> at home? Well that’s exactly what Sara and Gareth did on the 21st of September 2019 following a church ceremony and it was stunning. Their vision was for a rustic country style wedding celebration and their day being personal to them was of uttermost importance. I love how they planned their day within 6 months and created such a magical atmosphere at their house too. The marquee looked so pretty with natural materials used including wooden touches, personalised bunting, a lot of cake and the sweetest Emma Bridgewater mugs and vases for flowers. Genius<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Sara looked amazing in her lace gown with pretty sash and flowers in her hair, Gareth and the groomsmen wore green tweed jackets and waistcoats teamed with chinos and the bridesmaids were in sage green frocks. Didn’t they look wonderful? Also look out for the really cute bridesmaid wrist bands, such a fab idea!<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

This was the most beautiful day and so well thought out – April 7th 2019. We had been talking about getting married and I had been looking at rings on Pinterest. I was keen that Gareth chose the ring himself but wanted him to know vaguely what I would like. I also knew he had spoken to my dad about asking me to marry him, but I felt impatient and didn\u2019t think it would necessarily happen any time soon.<\/p>\n

I woke up to Gareth moving around in the kitchen and I wondered what he was up to. Already a little bit suspicious, I got up and peaked downstairs but couldn\u2019t see anything so thought I was getting myself all excited for no reason. I decided to get dressed and put some make up on – just in case! – as I came down, I could immediately see that Gareth was emotional.<\/p>\n

He suggested we have some breakfast in the garden, his lip wobbling, and I knew something was definitely happening! He walked me out into the garden – it was a slightly misty morning – and he had set up the most beautiful scene on the patio. A table for two with a massive bunch of roses in my favourite six-pint Emma Bridgewater jug, two roses on the back of the chair, a hot tub going in the background, which little did I know, he bought the day before and filled up without me knowing. He led me down the garden, we were both emotional and I noticed a blanket folded up. He got down on one knee and asked the question! I of course, said yes!<\/p>\n

The ring was the most beautiful ring I had seen and amazingly, it was very similar to my favourite one on Pinterest. The rest of the day was pancakes for breakfast which he had made, a walk in the forest with the dogs, phoning various people and then we travelled to the beautiful village of Lavenham. We had some French food in the lovely restaurant called The Great House; we were on cloud nine the whole day.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

Our vision was for the day to be rustic, woodland \/ country themed, and of course, personal. As this was both our second marriages – both of our previous marriages being deeply upsetting and traumatic – we wanted something special but didn\u2019t feel we wanted anything over the top. It felt right to have the wedding reception at our house (set half a mile into the woods!) it has just the perfect feel for a country rustic wedding.<\/p>\n

Also, we fell in love walking through the forest, having G&Ts in the garden and playing with the dogs so lots of our memories together are in the garden. Plus, having got engaged there, it definitely felt right!<\/p>\n
