Saying I do when the world is in full bloom is simply magical. And, whether it’s a gorgeous flower-filled garden or sun-baked city street, the setting and the glowing surroundings are the icing on the cake, as our summer style wedding album shows
Summer weddings are always bathed in glamour. Little wonder then that this is the time of year when so many take place. Our surroundings are in the green and dripping with luscious blooms, the sun makes even the greyest city street put on its best show and everyone has an excuse to wear their wildest hats and loudest prints to celebrate. So whether it’s a garden, a chic register office or a sun-drenched Italian piazza, our glorious album of weddings with summer style shows that bride, groom and golden sunshine are the perfect romantic combination.
Anna and Mart
Anna and Mart were married in the English Lake District and, in a beautiful but notoriously damp region, even the rain held off in their honour. They took time out to walk together in the mellow sunshine after the ceremony, followed by a coterie of rather curious alpacas. bylumiere.co.uk
Charley and Adam
Charley and Adam were married at the coolest register office in London – Chelsea – and strolled along the King’s Road afterwards in the sunshine being congratulated by well-wishers. The documentary-style shots of their sunshine stroll were captured beautifully by Elizabeth & Isla Photography. elizabethandisla.com
Susan and Anthony
Susan and Anthony held a summer festival-style celebration in the family garden and the amazing lake proved to be the perfect spot to capture romantic shots for the wedding album. Their guests even joined them for an impromptu canoe race round the lake during the course of the afternoon. benbull.net
Jennifer and Cameron
Jennifer and Cameron chose July for their wedding and were married at Colstoun House in East Lothian, Scotland. It’s a lovely new venue with a barn, stunning grounds and a polytunnel especially for wedding ceremonies. annaurban.com
Myles and Kelly
Myles and Kelly chose beautiful Siena for their atmospheric Italian wedding, celebrating among friends and family surrounded by its mellow mediaeval buildings and then feasting and dancing alfresco long into the night. elizabethandisla.com
Alyssa and Shane
Dreamy Waterford Castle in Co. Waterford sits on its own private island and was the perfect setting for Alyssa and Shane to celebrate with a very intimate wedding in the Irish sunshine, captured beautifully by roving wedding photographer Phil Voon. giveusagoo.com
Mary and Zack
Mary and Zack were married at home in Scotland, holding a beautiful garden ceremony overlooking the River Teviot. The weather obligingly put on an almost Mediterranean show of sunshine and the gardens and sparkling river below looked almost as radiant as the bride and groom. bylumiere.co.uk
Charlie and Ash
Charlie and Ash are tree surgeons and chose to get married in ‘the shed’ back home in Cheshire. It was a sun-filled day full of romance, and they’d even carved their own wooden love seat to sit upon. We approve of the bride’s beautiful floral hair-vine, the perfect crowning touch on an English summer’s day. bylumiere.co.uk
