Maudie and James are like the cutest couple ever. Seriously – their joy is infectious.

And Maudie’s eyes – jeez, they are HUGE. Beautiful.

Add to that some dusky pink blooms, vintage-esque china and some gorgeous portraits and we’ve got ourselves a whole lot of lovely for a Monday afternoon.

Oh, and the bride and groom planned the entire affair in just a short 4 months.

Imaginative Dressing

In the excitement of getting engaged we set a rather ambitious wedding date of 4 months later! Little did we know we would get the reaction of pure shock when entering numerous wedding boutiques (6 months seemed to be the required time to have address made). But with the venue and church all booked, 3 months was all we had and so we ploughed on!

Eventually I stumbled across a dress, which with a bit of imagination (it was several dress sizes too big) could be amazing! Again with my time limitations the only way to have the dress was to buy it ‘off the rack’ at several sizes too big. Luckily I was introduced to the wonderful seamstress Maggie Brown who assured me that it was possible. After a few trips back and forth from Oxford and a few last minute panics (the dress was still in pieces up until the final week!) my dress was complete!
