James + Sarah {Married} Otley Hall: Creative English garden party

EPIC.  This word  best describes last Saturdays wedding. Sarah and James are childhood sweet hearts and their absolute love for each other just radiates.  They choose to be married at the stunning Otley Hall in Suffolk, when I asked the bride what the best decision of their planning was they said the venue.  Karen the wedding planner is so efficient and accommodating, ‘once we found the perfect setting for our wedding the rest just fell into place’.  Sarah is one of the most naturally creative brides I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.  She is an artist, a designer and truly an inspiration.  In fact, it seems her whole family is, Aime her sister and mum denise helped by making the cake dog (who couldn’t be with them on the day) figurines, the flowers and posies, the bunting and pretty much anything else they could do.  James’s family got involved too, with his dad making the candy table.  Sarah’s mum Denise said if they could do it themselves they have and this is what made their wedding even more special to their whole families.  They even designed their own font for their completely handmade wedding invitations!

James is the head chef at the well known pub, the Anchor in Woodbridge, so the food kind of had to be good… and it was!  Patricia Sharman and her team did an amazing job!  There is so much detail in this wedding, I’m sure if I don’t list all the details I will get a ton of emails asking me where things are from!  After the photos I am going to list everything… the list is massive!

I love this quote from the groom! “Take it all in, enjoy every moment and let your hair down. Don’t worry or fuss about anyone else, it’s not their day it’s yours!!”
