A little later than expected, we have part 2 of Wes and Laura's gorgeous Sussex Barn wedding - as promised in part 1, this is a wedding to inspire any ~~bride~~ couple who want that vintage, shabby chic look for their day - there's decor ideas galore here to get your crafty impulses going, it's a real Summery treat, perfect to kick off the New Year. And it's all thanks to Xander and Christine of NavyBlur Photography who captured everything perfectly.

Wes and Laura celebrated their ceremony with a nice refreshing cuppa - in vintage china of course!

Laura combined English floral napkins, vintage china, buttons, lace, books, and wildflowers to create the look for their summer picnic style reception. This is garden fete celebration fashion but with all the comforts of fine dining.

Pairing wildflowers with an assortment of vessels - cups, teapots and jars, rather than vases, keeps the theme more rustic chic and natural.

While the guests sipped their tea, pulled faces at the photobooth and salivated over the cake table, Wes and Laura escaped outside for a few minutes between showers, and NavyBlur were able to capture this fun-loving couple at their natural best (complete with some bunting of course!)

How I adore this bouquet...

So from a couple who walked the aisle in such style, any words of wisdom for brides and grooms planning their day now? "Don’t turn around when she’s walking up the aisle — It's worth the wait"

So there you have it - Wes and Laura really show what can you do if you're craftily inclined. Thanks so much guys for sharing your day with us, and Congratulations! Hope 2013 is as good as 2012 clearly was.

Huge thanks too, of course, to Xander and Christine of NavyBlur Photography for sharing their lovely work with us - it's a real treat to be able to kick off 2013 in such style.
