Katie & Russell Lamping's Vintage Bartle Hall Wedding Day

When I first met up with Katie and her Mum Julie about a year ago we hit it off instantly, Katie has a love of English Literature as I do we both love Jane Austen's Pride Prejudice which was her muse for the planning of this glorious wedding day...

I used Vintage shades within the wedding bouquet including David Austin's finest Patience & Miranda English Garden Roses along with fresh Peonies, Sweet Peas, Love in the Mist, Eucalyptus, Blackberries and Alchemilla Mollis
~
Julie, Katie's lovely Mum wore a corsage of Phalaenopsis Orchids & Love in the Mist which looked just perfect

Russell and Katie were getting married in front of the fireplace in the Balmoral Suite at Bartle Hall we'd dressed the Registrars table with a beautiful traditional table design of fresh Delphiniums, Hydrangeas, Roses and Love in the Mist.


Russell wore an Avalanche Boutonniere with Hydrangea Florets, Astrantia, Freesia and a sprig of fresh fragrant Rosemary











The Uhers wore Avalanche Rose Boutonniere's too but a simple design to the Groom's

































Russell's lovely Mum looked fabulous, Rachel had designed an eppaulette corsage of white Phalaenopsis Orchids, Arabicum Chincherinchee, white Agapanthus and fresh Eucalyptus & Ivy leaves.
~
We always place the corsages high up on the epaulette rather than on the lapel because, to begin with that's really where they should be, but I understand it's rather difficult to attach them to yourself high up on the shoulder so when people are forced to attach them themselves they always put them lower down, unfortunately this has a tendancy to pull on the fabric and mis-shape the gown/suit, and that's why we come along and pin them on the lady guests.
~
For Gentleman we very rarely use the buttonholes provided in suit jackets they tend to be too high up the lapel and unless the gents are seriously tall it looks silly so instead we put the boutonniere over the buttonhole which looks perfect.

The Groom's and The Bride's Father's looking very handsome






















The Groom's Grandma was wearing a Phalaenopsis Orchid and Blue Delphinium epaulette corsage


The entire Bridal retinue was just stunning in Vanilla and Buttermilk Bridesmaid's gowns


The Bridesmaid's Bouquets of Creme de La Creme, Metalina, Patience & Miranda Roses, Astilbe, Sweet Peas, Hydrangeas, Peonies, Blackberries and Hydrangeas complimented the buttermilk gowns beautifully

Katie looked so dreamy and romantic
