An Outdoor Summer Wedding in the Stunning Lake District
an idyllic outdoor summer wedding in the lakes
How would we describe Chloe and Matthew’s summer Micro? Utterly gorgeous. Joyous. Simply perfect. Chloe’s blush wedding gown with delicate appliqué was delightfully whimsical and ethereal. She carried the sweetest posy of dried meadow flowers, and Matthew looked every inch the country squire. His rustic-chic checked suit was a fitting choice for a barn wedding and outdoor ceremony.
Here comes the bride
Their ceremony was incredibly special. Matthew waited with family and friends by our Lakeland barn, whilst Chloe made an entrance with her very proud Dad! She floated down the aisle to Velvet Moon’s ‘Love of My Life’, to marry the love of her life under the cherry blossom.
To have and to hold
A hush fell whilst the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, then came joy and laughter as the newly married couple was announced. They sealed their marriage with a kiss to enthusiastic applause, and of course, their smiles said it all!
Meet the New mr & mrs!
Amidst showers of petal confetti, the bride and groom led their guests to the house terrace for a celebratory drinks reception. The sun-dappled fells created the perfect backdrop for their outdoor summer wedding in the heart of the Lake District.
A family affair
Whilst the wedding guests relaxed in the gardens, our couple set off hand in hand through the meadow with their little girl. There were adventures to be had along the lake shore of Rydal Water and precious new memories to make. Their next chapter as a family was only just beginning!
A table of delights in the wedding barn
All the fresh air and excitement worked up quite an appetite – and their grazing table was a feast for the senses! There’s something lovely about dining ‘al fresco’ at outdoor weddings. The scent of fresh rosemary mingled with lavender on the barn terrace, as speeches were made and glasses were raised to toast the happy couple.
the great escape...
Finding time to be in the moment on your wedding day is important. Leaving their guests to enjoy a cocktail or two, Chloe and Matthew stole away to Rydal Water and up to the caves. Their stunning wedding portraits capture some wonderful moments. Time stood still as everything came full circle for a couple who once walked through Rydal dreaming of an outdoor summer wedding. How wonderful that their dream became reality, making memories that would last a lifetime.
