English Garden Wedding | Lwin and Ben’s colourful vintage romance

{11th August 2012}

Ever since their adorable engagement session back in March 2012, we knew we’d be in for a fun-filled wedding. Lwin & Ben’s beautiful DIY Vintage Garden wedding in sunny Chichester, West Sussex on 11th August 2012 was amazing. They got married at Edes House in Chichester before they had their reception in Ben’s Grandma’s beautiful Garden.

Lwin & Ben are gorgeous, inside and out; all the details were beautiful and hand-made. Lwin wore Diamonds that used to be her Grandma’s, their flowers were so colourful and their decor was delightful with hay bales, jam jars and home-sewn bunting. It was a wonderful day full of love, laughter and plenty of details!

Their wedding has just been featured on Bridal Musings with their full story so please head there to leave comments too.

    […] We L O V E love surprises. So does this Groom’s Mother. You see just before this moment, she had been quietly enjoying & smiling whilst her son and his new wife did their first dance. We know that many couples include dances with their parents in their receptions but this particular couple had not planned for it. Instead this beautiful joy-filled moment was an impromptu occurrence, I mean, just look at the pure glee on her face! It was one of many beautiful happenings at Lwin & Ben’s colourful 1950s Garden wedding. […]
