Swan Hotel – Bedford, St Mary’s Church – Haynes, Private Garden reception
A short (but sweet) day with Abby and Dan in June. The couple were both getting ready at the Swan Hotel in Bedford before a church ceremony in Haynes, Bedfordshire and a reception nearby in Abby’s Dad’s garden. One big advantage to getting ready at the same location is being able to see both of you on a wedding morning. Abby was in the gorgeous pink room, absolutely on brand for the day’s colour scheme! Dan was one floor up so I got some cardio in on the stairs popping between them both.
I absolutely have to mention the stunning pink peonies that Abby had chosen for her bouquet that came from her Mum’s garden, so special! I have actually seen this a few times, couples using home grown flowers and I love to see it. Great for the environment, special personal meaning and it’s brilliant when it feels like everybody has come together to make the day happen!
We did confetti at the church and a few family photos then headed to Abby’s Dad’s garden where there was a marquee set up and beautifully styled by Beth – Wedding Stylist. I loved the birch tree branches! Pimms and garden games in the sunshine, perfection!
Abby did a surprise reveal of the cake for Dan (scroll to see!) which was not the cake he thought it was and there were some great speeches before I left them to enjoy their meal and the rest of their day.
