There is just tonnes of gorgeous on RMW isn’t there? gorgeous real weddings, gorgeous brides, gorgeous decor ideas, gorgeous accessories……
And although I can get a little over excited and (go on I’ll admit it)… a bit over the top at how I want to wear literally every gown we post, in reality, there are actually only a select few that I would seriously consider as the other “one” to my own W-day choice.
Well folks that few just grew to one more when John Day submitted the Cheltenham Big Day of Jo and Chris a wee while back, Jo’s frilly frock was so fabulous I nearly died….and wanted to outright steal it from her.
Now of course as well as delicious fashion there’s plenty of other garden party type lovely to swoon over and some particularly tear jerky images of love, laughter and together foreverness.
Friday’s just got a whole lot prettier lovelies 
A Packham Princess
My dress was “Amelia” by Jenny Packham, I loved it immediately because it was structured but still floaty and a bit bohemian.
The Vintage Touch
I wore a Jenny Packham side headpiece – Arcacia II which is vintage inspired and complimented the dress really well.
Gorgeous Maids
My bridesmaids all looked lovely in layered blue/purple dresses from Reiss.
The Wedding Party
We hired suits from Regency Groom in Cheltenham and the ties were a blue/purple colour to tie in with the bridesmaids and stationery. Chris wore dark grey tails with an ivory waistcoat, he looked great!!!
Bargain Shoe Candy
I wore Dune shoes but they were actually bought from ebay (!!), just a 2 and a half inch heel and some vintage brooch detail on the strap.
Natural Pretty
For my hair and make-up I waned a really natural look as that is my day to day style, I wanted to still look like me!
I wore my hair down in loose waves and quite subtle make-up, I was lucky enough to have a bridesmaid who did both beautifully!
Roses For Posies
I wanted a cross between a country garden and a wild flower aesthetic, very relaxed but still pretty. Rose Hamson did an amazing job and used a combination of hydrangea, scabious, stocks and herbs that all smelt delicious!

All round gorgeous!
Hell yes its Friday. This week has been a disaster zone.
This is one of my favourite weddings EVER.
That last picture? I’d blow it up and have it made into wallpaper.
Eeek it’s Friday
Eeek that dress
Eeek Cheltenham is where I live.
Eeek all round.
I’m with Rebecca on that last picture. I love it. I only hope that we get some beauties like that one!
Also, can’t stop staring at the buttonholes… love them.
xoxo
I love that dress too!!! In another colour it would make an an amazing evening dress… Just need an excuse to get dressed up
xx
This is just lovely – I adore the second to last picture of the church, it’s so full of anticipation, and it looks like the perfect day and setting for a wedding!
Happy freaking Friday!! And after seeing this (and trying to rid myself of this awful hangover), my day just got a whole lot better.
Absolutely love this. Am dying with envy about the JP headpiece… I wanted that one from the very beginning, although unfortunately, budget didn’t allow.
Love the relaxed vibe going on. I wish I could pull off a dress like that. Freaking fabulous!
xx
I want to live in a world where I too have perfect teeth and am the proud owner of a Jenny Packham headpiece.
Her dress is so beautiful and I love the bridesmaid’s dresses – I actually have the same dress in black – so pretty! x
Ahh the dress is so pretty, and Acacia oh how I want thee!
Seriously someone should start a business hiring out Acacia to brides. Would have so many takers!
Laura I too would like perfect teeth. I am currently rocking the Madonna look.
That last picture, is stunning! And the buttonholes are now in my flower inspiration folder
Happy Friday, all!
I love the vintage feel of these pictures! They look fabulous!
I read on another blog that there’s a lady who rents out the Acacia and other pieces, might be worth a google?
Stunning bride and gorgeous pics!
Hello Ladies!
Firstly, I am am sharing the dress love Charlotte – seriously gorgeous.
Secondly… BIG news – RMW got a mention in The Times today!!!
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/uk/royalwedding/article2925583.ece
Yaaaaaaay! And massive thank you to Penny from Tigerlily Weddings for including us – super chuffed!
xoxo
There is someone who rents out the Acaicia headpiece on Ebay but it’s still pretty expensive
Love this wedding, am ready for part 2 now pleeeease! So many smiles, looks like the funest day!
Wow, I could be this bride Jo…
JP Amelia – Fell in love with last summer and finally ordered last Monday
Bridesmaid dresses very similar
Flowers very similar
Same hair style.
It’s like looking into the future!
Gosh I am excited to see part two and it is sooooo comforting to know that I may have made all the right decisions!
Thank you RMW!
Oh she looks so HAPPY! Such a beautiful wedding and I can’t wait to see part 2. x
ps. congrats on the Times mention!
What a stunner the bride is! Gorgeous wedding.

j’adore these photos, such a lovely style
I am j’adoring also the tiered dresses, this was my go to style when I first started looking and a little piece of me still wishes I was rocking some tiers in 7 weeks and one day (eek!)
j’adoring (again) the classy blues (I’m in a very continental mood today non?)
r.now x x x
How did I miss this dress, even if just to have tried on in my search before my big day?! Devo’d.
On the plus side I did get to wear acacia II, hurrah (ps anyone who would love to don one but scared of the price, do what i did, buy it, wear it, love it then sell it for not much less than you bought it for. Same as hiring but you get to be the first wearer and open the pretty jp packaging. And you can sit and stare at it in the weeks before your wedding
Congrats on the mention ladies and gent, I am not subscribed to the site so haven’t read but will pop out and buy a good old fashioned paper later!
Xx
Love the laid back feel of this wedding, and what beautiful wedding dress. x
