Hello everyone, you didn't think we'd let today slip by without sharing an inspirational day of wedded celebration, did you?  I hope you enjoyed the lunch time beautiful super8-mm wedding film by the amazing talent that is Mark W. Brown, and that you've had a chance to join in the chat over at this morning's discussion post.

This afternoon's real wedding post is that of MaggieRoseVintage Etsy shop owner Louise and her beau Eddie, who tied the knot on 19 July last year (probably the hottest day of the year) with a church ceremony followed by a reception at the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside retreat, Langar Hall.

"Eddy and I have known each other for years as we attended the same primary and secondary schools. We started going out when we were 16 and got engaged on holiday in Devon after being together for 9 years. We had been engaged one year and nine months before getting married.

We just wanted a simple, elegant wedding with elements of tradition, but without it feeling fussy or too formal."

"Langar Hall was the first venue that we considered and after visiting several others it was clear that it was the right place for us for so many reasons.  Firstly we both love the Vale of Belviour area in which Langar is situated. It is such a beautiful place, close to where we live."

"There is also an emotional connection for myself as my late Grandfather was based at the local airfield during the war and this is how he met my Grandmother. The Hall is a small country house surrounded by glorious countryside and full of individual charm and character."

"Langar Hall used to be the owner Imogen's family home, and still retains a lived in comfortable feel. There was also plenty of room for our close friends and family to stay overnight.  You really are made to feel more than welcome when you visit, the staff are the friendliest we have ever come across and cannot do enough for you.

We both love to eat out so choosing somewhere that served delicious food was also important to us and Langar Hall has an excellent reputation for serving delicious food from locally sourced ingredients."

"Rebecca Caddell of Floral Deco was our florist.  I love flowers and they were a very important part of the wedding for me. There are so many beautiful styles and so much inspiration out there.  I knew I wanted a bouquet with lots of texture and greenery that had soft loose flowers in neutral shades with a hint of summary colour.

Rebecca is an excellent florist and a lovely friendly person to work with.  She creates the most spectacular floral arrangements that are put together with thought and care."

Louise wore a beautiful David Fielden gown – a purchase from Nobel and Wright Atelier.

"We got married in the heat wave that was July, and two days before the wedding I tried on my dress one last time. It was over 30 degrees and I have to admit I did panic about how I was going to cope all day as I new Langar didn't have air conditioning! So the next day (the day before the wedding) Mum and I went into Nottingham looking for something more slinky that I could possibly change into later in the evening as a back up, just incase I was passing out from the heat!

As luck would have it we walked into John Lewis and I saw a silk floor length Ghost dress in white. It was the only one and it was my size! It was simple and extremely light weight, perfect, it was meant to be. I wish all my shopping trips were as successful!"

"I changed into the dress later in the evening which worked out really well as it meant not only was I cooler, but as it wasn't my "proper dress" I wasn't bothered about the state I got it in( I know I wouldn't have worn it again but I did feel quite protective of it). I've often heard of people panic buying random things just before the wedding, but I have to say it was the best last minute decision I ever made.

The style of my David Fielden dress isn't what I initially imagined myself going for as the skirt was slightly fuller than I had envisaged, but it looked so beautiful and I loved the combination of fabrics so I had to try it on. It was one of the first I had tried but it just felt right and the skirt felt really light and floaty. It was so comfortable and I loved the sheer lace detail of the bodice."

I love the couple's wedding favour idea!

"As wedding favours, we provided plantable skeleton keys that I found on etsy. They were made from recycled card and had a mixture of flower seeds in them.  You plant them and watch the flowers grow"

"Our photographer was India Hobson, who captured the happiness and emotion of our day perfectly. Her style of photography is so natural and simple with no fuss, she just blended in on the day and I cannot recommend her enough. She is a wonderful, talented person and we have the most beautiful images to look back at."

"Alicia Mosley is a friend of a friend and baking cakes is her hobby can you believe! We knew we wanted a victoria sponge cake as it is both our favourite. I liked the idea of having one un-iced and covered in fresh berries as neither of us like a lot of icing . I sent Alicia a picture of a three tier victoria sponge wedding cake that I found in a wedding magazine and asked if she could make me one. It turned out even better than the one in the picture, she is amazingly professional."

Words of Wedded Wisdom…

“Don't get overwhelmed by the amount of things you have to organise, prioritise what is important to you and concentrate on one or two things at a time.

Make decisions and choose things that are right for you and your fiancé because when all is said and done it is your wedding and it should be about the two of you and reflect you both as a couple not what everyone else expects.  You cannot and will not please everybody.”
