Tom & Jenny

Tom and Jenny are Brits living in Manhattan. They wanted a quintessentially English summer wedding... so it simply had to be a marquee in a meadow.

Together we decided on a vintage, homely tea party theme. Guests listened to a string quartet as they played croquet on the lawn. They toasted the couple with Tom's Father's home-made cider. Marygold sourced vintage glass bottles for the table centrepieces which were filled with Tom's Mother's home-grown sweet peas, filling the marquee with an exquisite perfume.

The decorations included pearls, butterflies and silk hearts. At sunset, guests were invited to make a wish and release a lantern for the bride and groom: a magical sight.
