Camila and Christopher’s Springhead Trust<\/a> wedding in Dorset<\/a> really was the dream<\/em>. An outdoor garden ceremony, with gorgeous decor dotted around the grounds. Think pampas grass, rich burgundy hues and elegant signs.<\/p>\n

Camila made her own stunning wedding gown and looked incredible with her opulent flower crown and bouquet. Christopher was dapper in a tuxedo and statement buttonhole flowers. Then there are all of the lovely touches such as the polaroid station, the peacock chairs and candles everywhere… wow!<\/p>\n

Thanks so much to Alexandra Szigeti<\/a> for sharing these dreamy images with us, such a treat.<\/p>\n

Springhead Trust Wedding<\/em><\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Christopher proposed on Christmas eve<\/strong>. It was very cold but he insisted to we have an evening walk by the river<\/strong> in Kingston Upon Thames. I was not keen but went along.<\/p>\n

We walked to the place we had our first kiss and he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife! It was very unexpected and romantic. I started to cry.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

We wanted that this day was special and unique<\/strong>, we wanted everyone feel very comfortable and happy.<\/p>\n

\"Wicker \"Polaroid<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

Our budget was not high. I decided to save money by making a lot of DIY pieces<\/strong> and also doing my own flowers with the help of my in-law family and my grandma. I am a fashion designer and also saved money by designing and making my own dress.<\/p>\n

\"Candles \"Peacock \"Pampas<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Springhead Trust<\/strong> is a stunning country location. I don\u2019t think I could have found a better venue for us.<\/p>\n

All of my guests were so happy with such a unique venue. The ceremony location overlooks a lake<\/strong> and is under a stone gondola. We also liked that we could set up for the wedding the day before.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

Christopher’s suit is from Moss Bros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I have my own clothing company and have made a few wedding dresses in the past. I decided to make my own<\/strong> as I could get the exact look and design that I wanted.<\/p>\n

Earrings were from my grandma.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

The outside ceremony was overlooking the lake. We had acoustic guitar and saxophone music<\/strong> that was a gift from a family member. The ceremony was intimate and meaningful.<\/p>\n

Your Photographer<\/h3>\n

Alex was amazing. She captured the emotions<\/strong> of our day so well. She also has an arty creative style.<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor Hire<\/h3>\n

The colour palette was burgundy\/beige\/ivory\/black\/dark green and rose<\/strong>. I didn\u2019t have a set theme and just followed my instinct of what I like. It resulted in an eclectic look.<\/p>\n

I made lots of the d\u00e9cor myself with help from my 69-year-old grandma. This included dried flower bottle candle holders<\/strong> and a hand-painted fabric sign<\/strong> for the marquee. I also made my stationery<\/strong> and other signage.<\/p>\n

We had two cakes<\/strong> from a local coffee shop where we live. One was gluten free.<\/p>\n

With the help and guidance of Ronnie Colbie myself and my grandma made all of the flower arrangements<\/strong> the day before the wedding. I ordered the flowers wholesale from David Salter Flowers.<\/p>\n

I also made my own bouquets, floral hoops, buttonholes, and floral crowns. These were made using dried flowers that I bought at the Covent Garden flower market in London. Because they were dried I could make them ahead of time.<\/p>\n

I also hired vintage props and furniture<\/strong> from Borrow The Moon. These pieces made all the difference and helped bring the styling together on the day.<\/p>\n

The Honeymoon<\/h3>\n

We had a mini-moon in the UK. Two days in Bath<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Dress \"Bouquet<\/p>\n

Memorable Moments<\/h3>\n

One of the best parts of our day were the speeches over dinner<\/strong>. They were so meaningful and it was very emotional.<\/p>\n

My mom and dad could not attend due to travel restrictions. My best friend gave me a charm with a photo<\/strong> of them inside which was so special.<\/p>\n

Hearing our guests the next day saying what an amazing time<\/strong> they had made all the hard work worthwhile.<\/p>\n

Advice For Other Couples<\/h3>\n

Do not stress wedding planning should be fun<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Everything will be ok on the day. Even if some of the small details are not perfect you won’t care<\/strong> because you will be having the best day of your life!<\/p>\n

\"Springhead \"Dress<\/p>\n

Goodness, so beautiful. Camila and Christopher thank you ever so much for sharing your Springhead Trust wedding with us.<\/p>\n
