Wow weeee  what a gorgeous wedding i have for you today {www}ers!! Yes that’s right a Vintage, Grecian wedding with peacocks :-) I love the laid back vibe to Jane and Ben’s big day. No formal tables, but deck chairs, gorgeous hydrangeas, afternoon tea, games and peacock feathers, not to mention a stunning Jenny Packham dress. I am really spoiling you today – the gorgeous bride Jane has given us all the juicy details from their gorgeous wedding. Huge thanks goes to the lovey Lisa Dawnfor letting me use her stunning images, here is what she had to say about the day;

“Jane & Ben got married at The Larmer Tree Gardens, Tollard Royal, Salisbury on the 13th August 2010!  We started our day at the beautiful Launceston Farm B&B, which is just down the road from The Larmer Tree.  Here we took some photographs of Jane and her family getting ready.  We also had a good wander around Launceston Farm as the rooms are stunning and the setting so peaceful! Jane & Ben fell in love with The Larmer Tree the first time they saw it and new that it was going to be the ideal venue for their relaxed and fun wedding celebrations. Despite the showers, nothing was going to stop Jane going barefoot and walking across the lawn with her dad and sister into the General’s room where their ceremony took place. Following the ceremony we went off around the gardens with Jane and Ben, whilst guests sipped champagne by the Roman Temple. In the afternoon, tea was served and everyone enjoyed games on the lawn. The speeches took place by the singing theatre, where guests gathered on deckchairs and was followed by dancing.  Jane and Ben’s first dance was to ‘You’re just to good to be true’ by Andy Williams played by the ‘Stour Valley Stompers’- a 7 piece Trad Jazz Band. Following a game of rounders everyone made their way to The Pavillion where a hog roast was served and more dancing followed!”

Take it away Jane….

My dress was called Tabitha from Jenny Packham’s last collection but all her dresses are stunning. I got it from silk brides in Lichfield who were fantastic, great selection of designers and fab service! I had the dress from a shop I used to pass every day. I knew the style I wanted, something a bit different and floaty, and when I tried on the Jenny packham dress and my mum and I both cried I knew it was the one! Jane’s head piece was by Polly Edwards.

We had a late afternoon tea which consisted of sandwiches, sanity scones and tartlets etc, which were then followed by the cup cakes and tea on the lawn. We also had a traditional ice cream trike (brock ice) which rode across the lawns and provided a spectacle and dessert for our guests!As we wanted a relaxed garden party feel we didn’t have allocated seating for the afternoon tea, in fact we intentionally didn’t have enough chairs. We had 70 guests but only seating for 25 but we pulled put deck chairs and people were happy to stand and catch up!

Ben and I didn’t see any of the food , not because it ran out but because we were so busy enjoying the day, talking to friends and family, bouncing on space hoppers and even managed a game of rounders (still in my dress!).
