We did it! Despite record-breaking rainfall, ferocious winds, persistent deer and unexpected, largely delightful, demands on our time, in 500 days we created a beautiful space for a magical wedding.
|
The front garden was wonderfully green thanks to all the rain, although the front lawn was so water-logged that it was out of bounds. |
|
The marquee in the back garden looked as if it was meant to be there. |
|
The new front gate and the new path saw more traffic than they will see in the whole of the rest of the year. |
|
And the patio was perfect for all the guests to sit down for the ceremony. |
|
The bride and the father-of-the-bride stepped out of the new French windows and walked down the "aisle". |
|
The parterre was a gorgeous backdrop for the ceremony. |
The party then moved to the front for canapes and fizz.
|
Before going back to the back for a group photo and
the traditional throwing of the bouquet
(it's at the top of the next photo!). |
|
The parterre gave many photo great opportunities. |
Isn't it great when a plan comes together!
