Summer Marquee Wedding in The Cotswolds

Emily and Henry had a beautiful Cotswolds church wedding followed by a marquee reception in their family garden. The wedding, beautifully planned by Jeni from Vanilla Rose Weddings, was a stunning celebration from start to finish.

The day began at a charming Cotswolds church, where the Emily arrived in a timeless Suzanne Neville gown, complemented by jewellery from her own brand Emily Louise London. Her bridesmaids, in gorgeous deep green dresses from TH&TH, stood by her side, while Katy Djokic Makeup created effortlessly elegant looks for the bridal party. The church was adorned with breathtaking floral arrangements by Flowers by CE, setting a beautifully natural and romantic atmosphere.

After the ceremony, guests made their way to the family’s garden, where a stunning marquee awaited adorned with beautiful stationery and bespoke keepsake tea towels designed by Emily. Ross & Ross served an incredible feast, bringing the best of local, seasonal ingredients to the table. Very Vanilla created a beautiful cake and an array of desserts that looked as good as they tasted. As guests enjoyed the celebrations, a Live Event Artist captured the magic of the day with bespoke drawings, creating a truly special keepsake.
