23 Mar CHELTENHAM OUTDOOR CEREMONY WITH PRIVATE RECEPTION AND TWO BEAUTIFUL BRIDES

Posted at 10:41h in Weddings by Charlotte Burn

Every now and then you meet a couple and you just “click” instantly. The conversation is easy, the laughter flowing and the excitement building. I knew as soon as I met these two beautiful brides to be I wanted to be a part of the gorgeous, relaxed wedding they were planning.

Opting for one of my favourite venues to host the ceremony, Glenfall House in Cheltenham, Bethan & Lizzie wed on a beautiful summer’s day. After a wonderful ceremony in the sunshine, we returned to Lizzie’s family home for a marquee reception with breathtaking views across the neighbouring valley.

Every detail of this DIY wedding had been thoughtfully planned out. From the hard graft manicuring of the lawns by Lizzie’s mother to the handmade wedding cake from an extremely talented Auntie. The bouquets had been carefully crafted to complement each other along with the two wedding dresses with the help of the lovely Jane at Wedding Days of Cheltenham. It truly was a DIY, back garden wedding of dreams and my absolute pleasure to capture for such a wonderful couple.
