James & Anouska End of the night

James and Anouska got married in the Spring in Denham Church. Their reception was held at Hedsor House in Taplow, a beautiful house in Buckinghamshire dating backing to 1166.

I can’t remember how, but I came across wedding photographer Sam Clayton a while ago and loved her work so asked if I could feature her on LMW. This is the first of two beautiful weddings that she sent me – Hannah & Stephen’s wedding on Easter Saturday, 3rd April 2010. Although both living in the East Midlands, Hannah & Stephen held their wedding near Halifax.

As I keep saying I love spring weddings – the flowers are always so fresh and blooming in Spring. For those of you planning a spring wedding you are so lucky as there so many fabulous seasonal flowers to choose from like cream and pink hyacinths. These photos are from 2 different shoots, taken at Great Fosters Hotel, Surrey – I’m quite impressed that Juliet, the photographer and her assistant, Debbie, arranged all the bouquets as the flowers are gorgeous. Have a look at the Sugar and Spice Photography site and click through to the blog to see more photos…

Spring Wedding Bouquet

There aren’t nearly enough spring weddings flowers around – I regularly get pictures of lovely bright summery wedding bouquets, but the autumn and spring arrangements don’t get nearly as much air time. So I thought I’d change that by posting this beautiful spring bridal bouquet, sent to me (and photographed) by Planet Flowers. There must be lots of you getting married in Spring that are looking for inspiration and ideas for your flowers. Well, if you’re anything like me, and don’t even have a clue what will be in season its definitely worth thinking about including hyacinths in the mix…
