Lauren and Chris, Wistanstow Village Hall Wedding, Shropshire

Arriving at Old Downton Lodge on the morning of Lauren and Chris' wedding felt a little like a reunion party.  I'd first met Lauren, at a wedding fayre organised by Ruth, from Festoon, back in 2015.  Ruth is one of Lauren's best friends and also the wedding coordinator/planner/stylist/guru who helped us to transform our own wedding venue.

Omie Megan was there with her box of beauty magic and Tammy, from Wild Bunch,  brought her signature blousy bouquets, brimming with homegrown blooms. Throw into the mix a splash of Liberty print, the most elegant cowl backed gowns, and a yurt or two and you have this stunning wedding.

As Lauren says the most valuable piece of advice she can give for planning a wedding... "use Ruth Tilley!"

Here's a little peek for you...
