Lindsay in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland, eat your heart out! Lindsay & Jason's wedding was ABSOLUTELY amazing, in every way! From the very finest of detail, everything was expertly chosen and brought together to create a fabulous day!

Lindsay & Jason met several years ago when Jason worked with Lindsay's cousin - she kept telling them they'd be perfect for each other. After crossing paths a few times they eventually got together when they were at a mutual friends party. 

Jason proposed to Lindsay on a romantic holiday in Budapest. They were dining in a little Italian restaurant when Lindsay was going through holiday photos on Jason's phone at dinner she found pictures he'd taken at home with cue cards asking her to marry him. 

Lindsay & Jason got married at the stunning Oxleaze Barn in Lechlade on 15th October 2016. It was a dry hire venue so they had full scope to do what they wanted, which was fantastic and really allowed them to use their imagination, bringing in subtle parts of their theme. It meant they were able to book their own caterers, design the layout, add all the decorations and chose what went behind the bar!

Lindsay's stunning wedding dress was from Confetti Bridal in Tring, by the fabulous designer Amanda Wyatt, the style was 'Isobel'. The dress was perfect for Lindsay- with stunning lace detail and a fitted bodice, flowing down to an elegant lace skirt & train. 

Lindsay's 4 gorgeous bridesmaids all wore elegant dresses from ASOS, with additional lace sleeves and lace trim at the bottom, they really worked well and complimented Lindsay.

Each of the bridesmaids got silver hammered disc bracelets made by Lindsay & Jason's good friend Annie Pilbeam who has her own jewelry company CocoGrey, who also made their rings. The lovely grooms men received a bottle of whisky each.

To get the party into full swing, the wedding was joined by 'Oxygen DJs' for the evening as well as an amazing band, who played 2 sets during and after the ceremony and after dinner called 'The Wolves'. 

The flowers were a mix of vibrant colours and textures, adding to the fun atmosphere. Lindsay's bouquet has to be one of my favourites - its full of warm autumn colours and looked fantastic with the additional headpiece Lindsay wore. 

Where the ceremony was held, candles filled the room and we used my handmade, bespoke hearts to line the aisle, with additional green foliage covering the stunning fireplace. 

Each table had a unique arrangement with warm colours, using vintage books & tea cups adding to the tea party theme. 

The stunning cake was made by Maggie Coleman a family friend. It was expertly decorated and looked apt for a tea party. It had a lemon and poppy seed layer, red velvet with chocolate buttercream and classic Victoria sponge. 

Throughout the wedding their were some additional props -the picture frames that were used for the seating plan were all hand made by Lindsay's brother Alistair. There were adorable bunnies featured on tables and on the fire place along with Lindsay's shoes which linked to Alice in wonderland. 

I love to know where brides got their inspiration from, it helps me keep up to date with new trends but also allows me to point new brides to new wonderful sources - Lindsay wanted a tea party like Alice in wonderland, which inspired the afternoon tea & teapots. They found a catering company called Chipping Norton Tea Sets who were brilliant and fitted the theme and requests perfectly. Pinterest was another fantastic source - Lindsay said she spent hours on there, looking at all the ideas. Lastly but my no means least - Coco wedding venues. Whilst they didn't find their venue through their site following them on Instagram and Pinterest gave them inspiration from all the brilliant posts and pictures. 

I would like to say a huge thank you to Gabrielle Hall Photography for allowing us to share these fantastic images - they truly are amazing and capture the day perfectly, showing how happy & full of love it was.
