Rebecca & Rory chose a black-tie glamour meets country chic vibe. They loved the idea of hosting a black tie event with a twist. The couple added pops of vibrant colours to the wedding theme and it looked INSANE! Those stunning colourful wildflowers certainly complete the whole look at Larkspur Lodge. Apart from the ceremony, Rebecca & Rory's favourite part was having the traditional confetti thrown and spending time with just the groomsmen & bridesmaids creating smoke bomb shots in a field surrounding the venue. And of course, spending time as husband and wife having their photographs taken away from everyone else.

DIY Details

Rebecca & Rory had a budget they really wanted to stick to. Because of this, they tasked themselves to make lots of DIY projects for their day, which was a huge success! They began with making their own acrylic name places, small pots of homemade jam with love heart spoons for their wedding favours and a very large welcome sign decorated with wildflowers to match the summery and colourful wedding theme. The little personal touches with the DIY projects made Rebecca & Rory's day that much more special. To break tradition and match the rustic chic vibes of their wedding, the couple chose a fabulous cheese tower over a wedding cake!
