Annalisa & Matthew's day was the perfect autumn wedding: filled with joy, rich colours and super-cool from start to finish!
First things first, these two are mega stylish. Annalisa looked incredible in a embellished bespoke Catherine Deane dress with her hair in a soft wavy updo. She carried a huge ribbon-tied bouquet of burgundy, soft pink and white roses with wild foliage which matched the maroon bridesmaids dresses perfectly. Matthew and his groomsmen wore a deep blue tweed suit from the Vintage Suit Hire Company, paired with polkadot burgundy tie and a stylish stags head tie pin.
The setting for their day was South Farm in Cambridgeshire, which they decorated it from top to toe in beautiful rich foliage, autumnal florals, candles and moss. And of course with a farm as the setting for their day we couldn’t help but get some photos with the mega cute piglets!
Bride Annalisa also runs a calligraphy business so her work featured on all the place names, invite tags and signage on their gift table and most importantly a beautiful handwritten letter for Matthew to open on the morning of their wedding. In return he gave her her dream calligraphy pen!
Their joyful ceremony took place in the Tudor Barn at South Farm and featured Carrie’s wedding reading from Sex and the City – something I’ve always wanted to hear read at a wedding but somehow I’d not come across it before now!
What I loved the most about Annalisa & Matthew’s day is that they did everything their way regardless of tradition: instead of a groom’s speech they chose to do a speech together, and opted to forego the traditional first dance and instead just got the band to get the party started straight away.
Huge love and congratulations for you both, and thank you for having us capture your fantastic day!
