Rosie and Stephen’s lunchtime Wedding

Rosie and Stephen were married in a beautifully intimate affair at Alexandra Gardens in Kew followed by a lunchtime reception at Rosie’s parents home. It was important to them both that they celebrated their relationship with the people who were closest to them. So the relaxed garden wedding and reception at home suited them perfectly. A particularly special moment for them both was seeing each other walk across the gardens to meet before they walked down the aisle together hand in hand.  They also really appreciated the beautiful reading by the bride’s sisters that was written by the multi-talented mother of the Bride, Elisabeth.
