Becki and Carl were married at the beautiful Combermere Abbey earlier this summer. And they were in such good company. I met Carl, best men Matt and Jamie, and ushers Craig and Jerome in the walled gardens of the abbey before making the short journey to the Stone Lodge Gatehouse to join Becki and the girls in the midst of bridal prep.

It’s always lovely to see everything come together for a bride. Becki wore a stunning Callista lace embellished gown from The Bridal Rooms and her close friend Tara created the most beautiful hairstyles for her and bridesmaids Louise, Katie, Eleanor and Natalie - they looked amazing in delicate lilac gowns with bouquets of peonies by April Flowers and make-up by Laura Halford. Not to forget little Skye who just made the most adorable little flower girl.
