Happy times for Simon & Clare this week as they tied the knot at The Church of St Benedict in Horncastle! Their epic day followed on with smoke bombs and a fabulous tepee reception at Walled Garden Baumber!
The day started with Simon at The Golf Hotel in Woodhall Spa and the guys looked fantastic in their cream suits from Hancock’s Menswear.
Clare got ready for the big day at Lion Gate Lodge where the mood was high and the bubbly flowed in abundance! Clare wore a gorgeous cape to accompany her dress from Elite bridal. (I do love a cape!)
Simon and Clare tied the knot at St. Benedict’s and made an epic confetti exit!
The newlyweds lucked out with the perfect weather for their outdoor tepee reception at Walled Garden Baumber! There was such a natural and botanical vibe, I absolutely love their theme!
As the sun set, it was time for their newlywed portraits! Walled Garden Baumber is an amazing location for photo opportunities, everywhere you look there is something different!
Their deliciously fabulous looking cake was made by their friend Jan! (If Jan doesn’t run a cake business already, she should!)
And to cap off an incredible day, Simon and Clare shared a first dance like no other!
