Askham Hall
Cumbria
We had the most perfect day and I don't think stationery, flowers, vases, schedules, buttholes etc. had anything to do with how wonderful it was. Don't feel pressured to have a huge wedding or include traditions if they're not for you. There is also such a lot of pressure on this one day, so we tried to stretch out the joy of it all as much as possible with dinners, picnics, walks and afternoons of crafting before the big day. It will be perfect no matter what!
The morning swim was a real highlight for everyone (even Nick's Australian family who hasn't experienced such cold conditions enjoyed it!). The sun had just risen above the lake and there wasn't a breath of wind; there were even a few swans swimming by. It was glorious. Another highlight was dancing on the lawn at the end of the evening under a full moon.
