Goodness, Ellie and Matthias’ Cotswold marquee wedding was heavenly<\/em>. From the beautiful sage green<\/a> and pale blue tones to the rustic DIY decorations and potted plants throughout, you are going to adore their day.<\/p>\n

I love how relaxed and informal their wedding felt, with a sublime countryside setting and the prettiest blooms. Their tip to use potted plants as decor and then replant in your garden is genius, budget-friendly and of course great for the planet. Win-win!<\/p>\n

Look out for the most stylish of outfits, the cutest pup, a cool convertible and not one, but two cakes. Yes! Plus it’s great to see WWW wedding supplier Tailored Entertainment<\/a> providing the live band come evening.<\/p>\n

Cotswold Marquee Wedding<\/em><\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

In December 2019 we went on holiday to our favourite place: Scotland<\/strong>. Just the two of us and our dog, Poppy.<\/p>\n

Matthias had organised lots of beautiful dog walks and one morning we set off up Drummond Hill to Black Rock View Point<\/strong> which looks over Loch Tay. It had snowed the night before and it was Poppy\u2019s first snow experience. We got to the beautiful viewpoint, Ellie was marvelling at the view with Poppy whilst Matthias was busy rummaging through his rucksack, much to her frustration that he wasn\u2019t enjoying the view!<\/p>\n

When Ellie turned around, Matthias was down on one knee<\/strong>\u2026 after clarifying it definitely wasn\u2019t a joke the answer was of course YES!<\/p>\n

Matthias had commissioned the most beautiful bespoke sapphire and diamond engagement ring<\/strong> with Heidi Kjeldsen @heidikjeldsenltd who was incredible and he thoroughly recommends.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

We wanted something relaxed, rustic and informal<\/strong> \u2013 we love the countryside and Ellie had always wanted to get married at her family home in Broadway in the Cotswolds<\/strong> \u2013 luckily Matthias loved the idea too!<\/p>\n

We planned our budget around the most important things to us being great food<\/strong> (which is our passion), fantastic entertainment and set in a beautiful marquee. The rest would follow.<\/p>\n

Anything we could do ourselves we did: Ellie designed the invitations and stationery<\/strong> and Matthias designed and planted out every wheelbarrow and garden trough<\/strong> we could find! We also used timber pallets to make a lot of the decorations<\/strong> (lockdown project!).<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

I fell in love with the Made with Love \u201cRosey\u201d<\/strong> dress and veil as soon as I set eyes on it. I bought a different version to what they had in the boutique (different colour and skirt) which was a risk as I\u2019d never seen the dress until it arrived 4 months before the wedding \u2013 luckily the risk paid off – I loved it!<\/p>\n

Matthias bought two suits in the run-up to the wedding but ended up wearing the one from Moss Bros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Matthias\u2019 Mum made our wedding rings<\/strong> which is incredibly special and gives us yet another reason to cherish them for life.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

This was at St Eadburga\u2019s Church<\/strong> in Broadway which is a small, intimate and beautiful church. We just about managed to squeeze our 100 guests in!<\/p>\n
