This beautiful couple DIYed their whole wedding in the woods personalizing every single detail.
This woodland wedding is an absolute dream, and what makes it even better is it was all DIY by the bride and groom as the bride is a wedding decor and styling planner. Let’s enjoy this affair!
First, they cleared the wonderful venue The Ancient Woodland themselves and added beautiful decor that they have DIYed: ribbon backdrops, flower laden pergola altars, immense chill out zones with peacock chairs and Moroccan rugs, not to mention a darts board and table tennis table to keep everyone entertained. The couple spent hours writing, printing, cutting and embossing our wedding stationery, wood burning the gift boxes for our wedding party and sourcing our props from lofts, parent’s houses, our flat, charity shops and the internet. The wonderful reception was held in a Country Tipi, and accompanied by a Horse Box Bar, and live music.
The wedding flowers were stunning, wild and eye catching, a mix of foliage, deep reds, dusky pinks and burnt oranges and the bride walked down the aisle with a wonderfully wild hand tied bouquet with a king protea.
The bride was wearing a lace mermaid wedding dress by Maggie Sottero, which was customized for her a lot. The groom was wearing a grey suit with a waistcoat and a bow tie and rolled up sleeves. Their gorgeous little nephew Henry wore a tiny version of the laid back outfits with matching burgundy socks and incredibly cute tassel loafers, which he strutted/jumped down the aisle in style. each bridesmaid wore an individual dress that fit within the color scheme spectrum of burgundies, reds and dusky pinks.
Delicious food was an important part of the wedding, it was available throughout the whole day. The wedding cake was a really tasty, lemon and poppy seed sponge one tier cake with black and gold fleck cream cheese icing, topped with wild florals.
The tablescapes were done with colorful candles and burgundy blooms plus greneery and lights around.
