I think a lovely summer wedding is just what we need! (I’ve been up for hours and my blogging fingers are freeezing this morning.) So I’m sharing Sarah and Nathan’s rustic, countryside wedding which is full of lovely ideas for your own big day.
We’re talking delicious blue cornflowers and big white daisy bouquets. There are dinky little jam jars with ribbon and flowers. I love the wedding signs, the rustic wedding post box, heart decorations and ice cream selection: Mmm… breakfast! (it’s OK, I live by the seaside. We’re allowed to do that here.)
Sarah and Nathan’s wedding day has two sides. The details are sweet and easy to recreate for your own wedding — with lots of impact and a really fresh, vibrant countryside wedding feel. But the moments between the bride and groom are magical as well: the little glances and big smiles are what a wedding day is all about. Gorgeous. Enjoy!
Thank you to beautiful bride Sarah for the wedding report below. Wedding photography is by Peagreen Photography, Oxfordshire

Wedding day advice:
- Plan everything in advance so that during the days before and the Wedding Day itself you can concentrate on relaxing and enjoying yourself.
- Make sure you ask your suppliers as many questions as you need to. They are used to it and it will make you feel more confident on your wedding morning that everything will go to plan!
