Kris & Claire, Hampton House, London. August 2014

So many wonderful touches added to this beautiful day, from hand made bridesmaid dresses to the mother of the bride wearing a 'queen of hearts' crown right through to the grooms waistcoat being custom made by one of the bridesmaids who is a professional tailor.

Cups and saucers had been collected over several months to serve drinks to the guests and the table centers were a collection of gorgeous books and moss and keys and little tiny 'drink me' bottles. Claire our brides created her own lace bolero which was delicate and breathe taking. Her brothers gave her the most striking ruby necklace to tie in with her 'Alice in Wonderland' theme and it shone brightly all day.

Hampton House is a stunning location, set against beautiful gardens and Bushy Park. This location not only has character, it has sass. It's craggy, has TONS of texture on the walls, steps, window sills. It's a delight how it mixes a tropical verandah with paint peeled textured walls and looks both elegant and cool. I really love textures and this venue is full of them! x
