Morning all, a pretty little wedding to start your day, sent in from photographer Jo Hastings. This is the wedding of Louise and David, and they tied the knot on 13th October last year.
Living in London, the couple wanted a change of scene and opted for a relaxed country style wedding at Packington Moor in Lichfield.
Louise wore a Caroline Castigliano gown and veil, chosen because it made her Mum cry when she tried it on….awwww!

I love the colourful, floral nature of this wedding, everything so relaxed with that 'just picked' look…
I just love the movement in this shot…
"We used Herbarium Florists. The flowers were a varied collection of English flowers, arranged in small jugs. The bouquet was chosen to look like a bunch of flowers picked from a meadow…"
Pretty real flowers in her hair….
I love the idea of guests leaving their written wishes for the bride and groom via a the penguin postcard – a fun alternative to the traditional guest book…
"The cake was made by a friend, Michelle Thomas. Michelle suggested a chocolate cake with fresh berries, which looked beautiful and tasted great. It went down a storm. We also had a three tier pork pie “cake” from my family butcher (Alan Foster) in Aldridge, as a special surprise for the groom. The groom seemed a little too excited when he saw it…"
Words of Wedded Wisdom…
"Let the groom plan the wedding!"
No messin!
Congratulations Louise and David, and thank you so much for sharing your lovely day with my readers.
Thanks too to photographer Jo Hastings for sharing these images…
"We chose Jo Hastings as our photographer, because she has a relaxed informal approach but produces really stylish photos. She dislikes endless stiff, formal group shots as much as we do…"
Coming up shortly, a beautiful super-8 wedding movie that I absolutely adore…
