Laura and Matt’s wedding was simple, personal and perfect for them. When they started planning they were encouraged by their parents to do whatever made them happy – so that’s exactly what they did!
“We just wanted a very relaxed ceremony with our immediate family, and then a great party for our friends and family”, explained the bride. “We had 15 guests at Manchester Museum where we had out ceremony. It took place under their T-Rex and then we had our drinks reception in the fossil room! The staff were great and took the children on a tour around the museum while we were having photographs. After drinks, taxis took us to Room Restaurant for a meal. The food and service were excellent, and the bill was surprisingly modest.”
“Our reception took place the following weekend. We organized a music festival for 150 guests at Fell Foot Wood, Newby Bridge, in the Lake District. We decided to have a music festival as Matt plays in bands and we have a number of friends who are musicians and performers. We set out different areas at the festival including a games area with giant Jenga, swing ball and other outdoor games. We bought lots of old jars and set up a sweet shop and cake table.”

What a fabulous wedding! I really love the buttons in her hair, not seen that before, but perfect for a bride who is clearly not into girlie and sparkly 🙂
Fantastic idea for a wedding, lovely details. Oh, and kudos to the groom for that Alan Moore-esque beard! 🙂
STUNNING! xxxx
Love her hair so much! <3
Thanks for publishing this R’N’RB.
It was a magical wedding and celebratory weekend. Very ‘them’.
I guess it was just the pay-off for all the hard work that they did to make it special.
Special thanks to Chloe Anne for the excellent photography and display she presented at the festival. Everyone was very, very impressed.
So beautiful! Really love your dress, Laura.

Amazing. Love all of it.
The Dress!!!!!! I die xx
Hair buttons! I love everything about her decidedly non-traditional look from he fab buttons to the rockin’ boots!
I am so jealous of all these UK weddings. How do you beautiful brides get Vivienne Westwoods?
