A Pretty, Laid Back, English Countryside Wedding ~ UK Wedding Blog ~ Whimsical Wonderland Weddings

I have a super sweet Spring wedding to treat you to this afternoon. This gorgeous couple were married in Australia last year but wanted an wedding in the UK too. I absolutely love Laura’s dress, gorgeous tulle and beading wow! The bridesmaids look amazing in their contrasting colours too, what a fabulous day they had. Can i just  say how much i love cherry blossom ;-)

Thanks so much to Bath wedding photographers, Nouvel Amour Photography for sharing their work today, here is what they had to say about the day;

“Our first wedding of 2011, and what a way to start. Laura and Andrew got married in Australia last year, but because of the distance a lot of their friends and family in England weren’t able to attend…and so they re-tied the knot over here in Priston, just outside Bath.

We were all holding our breath for a dry spring day and could hardly believe it when we woke up to a cloudless blue sky. It stayed clear and warm all day – a perfect day in March is a rare thing, we know, but the wedding gods were definitely smiling down on this lovely couple! Laura and Andrew had taken spring as the theme for their wedding, decorating Priston Village Hall with daffodils and bright, springtime colours. The bridesmaids were wrapped in beautiful fuchsia shawls, and we really wanted the season to shine through in our photographs, too, so we made the most of the stunning cherry blossom tree in Laura’s garden.

Congratulations, Laura and Andrew, on your perfect English springtime wedding!”
