Romantic roses ran with the day and featured within the soft, cottage garden bouquet from Wild Rosamund.

We got married within the village church and were lucky enough to get use an attractive old barn because the reception venue, situated at Down Hall Farm is owned by some friends within the village."

"We wanted a relaxed, English countryside wedding, with a significant traditional ceremony. This meant we were able to make use of the beautiful village church.

Words of Wedded Wisdom

"We got a great deal out of involving us as much as possible and contacting all their talents and skills to contribute towards the day making it unique. I think the private and sentimental touches, regardless of how small, really add towards the feel from the day."
