Mary and Chris, who acts as a global IT communications manager and management consultant, married on 15 September 2018 within the beautiful surroundings of Dunsfold, Surrey had a reception afterward at Plaistow, West Sussex. The couple wove dreams of seasonal foliage, flowers, and berries directly into the style of their outdoorsy English countryside barn wedding, having a touch of boho at its heart.

"I think the design and style I was opting for was romantic bohemian. I wanted photos with a lot of green, anyway, having a rustic, fun feel – luckily for all of us the weather was perfect all weekend."

To attain the boho vibe she was after, Mary caused the bridal designer to produce this bespoke, unique piece. I love the deep V-neck from the fitted bodice, and also the pure white of their skirt.

"I was built with a particular type of dress in mind which may work for any romantic, rustic, slightly bohemian wedding look. I also love lace and long sleeves. I wanted a modest dress, and I found several gowns which I loved, then I had two different gowns combined to create mine."

For a dainty look, 5 grown-up bridesmaids wore short-sleeved gowns within the palest bluey-grey, with their flower crowns and opulent seasonal bouquets. Meanwhile, the flower girls wore pure white dresses available.

The couple originally met at the office seven years back.

"We worked in various departments but needed to complete a project together and sparks flew. We didn't start dating officially until I left the organization for another job 3 months later. We got engaged last year in New York on Thanksgiving."



"Chris proposed by hiding a diamond ring in my mug of coffee that morning. We had approximately nine months to be engaged and also to plan our wedding, which was quite stressful, but neither person wanted an extended engagement."

The couple married inside a Church of England ceremony while using standard traditional church wedding vows.

"Three of my bridesmaids read a verse all of a poem called 'The Apache Wedding Blessing' and that we also were built with a family friend read 1 Corinthians."

"We bought my engagement and both engagement rings in New York whenever we got engaged from the shop within the diamond district in New York."

I love the touch of humor within the couple's leafy wedding stationery, which Chris designed himself.

"Chris created all of the stationery, all of the invitations, menus, order of service then had everything printed. He also created our wedding website on your own."

"We were greatly inspired by rustic countryside barn weddings. We made our very own wooden cheese boards and used apple crates to show our family photos."

Before the marriage breakfast, supplied by, was served up around the beautifully dressed trestle tables (just take a look at those beautifully rustic tea light holders), your guests relaxed over drinks to reside music from gypsy jazz group Alex Bishop.
