Ethereal indoor woodland wedding with lashings of gold
Held at The Pilgrim’s Rest in Battle, East Sussex, a 600 year old Grade II listed house full of rustic charm and historic soul, the couple filled it full of flowers, fairy light and foliage to create an ethereal vibe. With flowers by The Enchanted Flower, they paired boughs of wisteria, apple blossom and eucalyptus with secondhand brass shapes hung from exposed beams. Ferns, flowers and foliage were foraged from Tom’s parents garden, and they DIY’d the invitations, signage and Polaroid photo booth come guestbook, too! Read more
