Broderie Anglaise Wedding Dress at Garden Wedding

We had originally planned a wedding for 120 guests at RHS Wisley in June 2020, which had to be postponed, but we decided getting married was more important so we re-planned a smaller ceremony as soon as we were allowed. We had the most gorgeous sunny day to celebrate in the church Sophie’s parents got married 31 years earlier, in front of nearly all of our favourite people (bar 4 stuck in the US due to the travel ban!). And honestly, whilst it was nothing like we planned, it was the most amazing, loving and fun day ever.

Sophie's mum (Sarah) and brother (@tomappetit on IG) really pulled out the stops on the food, not to forget John's mum's (Victoria) jollof rice! It was so special seeing everyone sit down to eat and drink together on this gloriously sunny day. Sophie's Dad (Gordon) helped us choose the wines and John created his own wedding day cocktail (Lillet Blanc, Cava, Angostura Bitters and Soda). Our suppliers were amazing, but it was really a family effort to make everything as perfect and beautiful as it was.
