Clare and James Bold Bright Day

Clare Rose, married James Bavington, at St. Michael’s Church in Aynho, Peterborough, followed by a reception at Aynhoe Park, Oxfordshire, on 9th April 2015.

The couple chose a bright palette with hot pinks, purples and lime greens that worked well against Aynhoe Park’s unusual collectibles and taxidermy (there’s even an alligator and polar bear!). The venue was decorated with huge balloons and quirky and adorable details including reception tables named after the planets in Star Wars, Polaroid post cards of all guests for them to leave a message for the couple and a massive sweets table.

Clare picked her Caroline Castigliano Laila dress before she had picked the venue, having spotted the dress at the catwalk of Brides The Show and immediate made an appointment.
