A Suffolk Garden Wedding for Jack & Anna

It was one of those very warm summer days when I headed north to Suffolk for a vibrant and colourful wedding in a garden—the garden of the groom’s childhood home. Everyone worked hard to transform the space into a gorgeous, festival-themed wedding celebration.
It was very carefully planned by Jack and Anna, with their friends and family helping to bring their plans to life.

The ceremony was conducted by Heather, the celebrant from the Swan Inn in Lawshall, with seed favours from Foraging, music by friends and The Rhythm Stars, a Swedish Prinsesstårta wedding cake from Bageriet, and that stunning Carnation Sequin Gown dress, unmistakably by Temperley London.
