Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of the Lake District, Low Hall The Lakes provided an idyllic setting for Rachel and Matthew’s summer wedding – a vibrant celebration brimming with colour, wildflowers, and personal touches.
Held on the 18th of June, the day beautifully embodied the couple’s love for a relaxed yet elegant style, with bursts of seasonal florals designed by Janet Wilde of Wilde and Romantic.
As guests arrived, they were warmly welcomed by the couple and the team at this hidden gem of a Lake District venue, where every detail was thoughtfully chosen to enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings. Rachel’s choice of a simple, chic slip dress by Rewritten, paired with a bouquet overflowing with seasonal blooms, perfectly captured her refined, effortless style. The atmosphere was one of pure joy and authenticity, with each moment beautifully captured by photographer Joe Mather.
Rachel and Matthew’s unique vision, combined with the rustic allure of Low Hall The Lakes, made for an unforgettable, flower-filled celebration that truly embodied the spirit of this charming Lake District venue that we recommend most highly to all our couples. Find out more here.

The Dress
Rewritten
My dress was by Rewritten. They were super helpful and my dress was so comfortable! Comfort was the main goal of mine – I didn’t want to get distracted from what I had in mind. I made sure my dress was ‘me’.
I borrowed my friends veil – it was floor length with gems round the outside, totally finished of my look, was perfect. My shoes were from ASOS and my perfume was Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle. My something blue was a little butterfly clip from my niece, which we clipped onto my shoe.
My necklace I wear everyday and I also wore a new pair of earrings from Monica Vinader. I also wore a faux pearl bracelet – a gift from my good friend.
The Ceremony
I arrived at our wedding ceremony to the sound of ‘Fever to the Form’, by Nick Mulvey.
It’s honestly very hard to pick a favourite moment from our whole day, however I loved lining up with my bridemaids behind the door, and hearing our music come on – by that point, I couldn’t wait see and marry Matt.
How They Met
Matt and I went to the same high school, he is 3 school years above, you always know who the older cool kids are. Years later in the summer before my last year at Uni, I was in a Pub down South of our small Island with a few friends and Matt was also in there on I believe a stag do.
We clocked eyes at the bar, I knew we saw each other but nothing happened. A few weeks later, he added me on Facebook.
I was home for Xmas when I got a random FB message of Matthew, mentioning how he finally has the guts to message. I tell my friends and it seems everyone knew but me that he was interested in me. My friend at the time worked in the same building and he would pester her most weeks but she refused and kept saying do it yourself. That will be 10 years ago this Xmas.
Words of Wedded Wisdom
I wish I tried my bra on with my dress before the day!
Trust the process, and try your best not to doubt yourself, saying this this will happen as it did with my dress, however you got what you wanted. Once you have these things stop looking.
