UK weddings never disappoint. It’s probably a combination of the vast, open landscapes and the ladies’ exquisite hats & fashion that we love most. Or maybe we’ve just watched too much Downton Abbey… Either way, this one from Victoria Phipps, is beautiful. We’re in awe over the reception location and love how the couple pitched an entire row of yurts for guests to lounge in!

Bouquet recipe: honeysuckle, spray roses, sweet peas and mint.

Watching the flower girls and page boys dancing as the sun was setting over Rutland Water, reminded me so much of the beautiful painting, ‘Midsummer Eve’ by Edward Robert Hughes. It was magical.

Love how those teepee style tents totally transform the space.
