Here are a few things that I love about Mhairi and Jamie's wedding which took place at South Farm near Cambridge.

1. It took place on a Farm - I love an outdoor wedding
2. Mhairi arrived in a vintage VW Beetle and was subsequently transported to the venue in a Tuk Tuk
3. They found some amazing Gypsy Caravans to have as a backdrop for their portraits

Not that you need any more encouragement to read on, but this really is a fire cracker of a wedding with loads of rustic styling and personal touches, but enough from me...

Mhairi The Bride: Jamie and I met 2 and half years ago and were engaged for a year and two months before our wedding on 26th April 2014.

We wanted a relaxed atmosphere for a wedding day and didn't really want anything too formal or traditional so we choose South Farm on the Cambridgeshire border as our wedding venue. We loved South Farm from the moment we visited as they are licensed for outdoor ceremonies that suited our rustic theme perfectly. They also had a Tuk Tuk that drove me from the main house to the ceremony which I loved as I have spent time travelling South East Asia.

I got ready at home in Cambridge and arrived at South Farm in a cream classic convertible VW Beetle. For my wedding dress I chose a beautiful lace dress from Paloma Blanca, it was the third one I tried but I particularly loved this one with the pretty lace overlay and low back. My shoes were ivory with a low heel which I bought from Debenhams. I don't wear much jewelery so only wore some silver earrings that were a present from a friend and in my hair I had a few sprigs of baby's breath to compliment my bouquet. I only had my sister as a bridesmaid and she wore a long dark purple dress from Dressy and my flowergirl was Jamies niece and she wore a pretty white dress from Monsoon. My hair and make up was done by Michelle Woodgate from a local beauty salon and she kept my make up very natural. For our flowers we wanted to bring in the Scottish Theme with a 'wild flower' look so choose thistles and baby's breath.

Jamie and his Best Men and ushers wore Ted Baker suits with waistcoats and we sourced the bow ties from 'April Look' on Etsy. My Dad and Brother wore traditional Scottish Kilt outfits.

Our outside ceremony was beautiful. I walked down the aisle with my Dad to Pachabels canon in D. For the actual ceremony we choose to have some personal vows and three readings by close family and friends.. Scaffolding by Seamus Heany, Bruce Springsteens, If I should Fall Behind and an Irish Blessing, May the road rise to meet you.

Our wedding breakfast was in an amazing barn conversion that we helped to personally decorate with our family and friends. We had a lovely rustic theme with apple crates on each table and names of the places where we have travelled. Jamie is very talented and had made all the wedding stationery and place names. Each guest also received homemade fudge that my sister had Kathryn made and my Mum created the little hessian bags to put the fudge inside.. Jamie hand stamped kraft CD cases which contained a CD full of our favourite wedding songs. For the lighting we used fairy lights and candles. Our wedding cake was made by a friend of a friend and was created from different layers of vanilla, tiramisu, lemon drizzle, strawberry sponge and vanilla cream and lemon curd.. we also had a bowl of strawberries and blueberries to go with the cake!

Although we had a lot of help from family and friends our suppliers were brilliant! We chose Nicola Milns Photography to shoot our wedding as we loved her photos when we visited her website, and on the day she was absolutely brilliant and we loved her unobtrusive style and the finished photos. For the evening reception we chose Licence To Ceilidh who are a London based band that fitted our rustic theme and Scottish Heritage perfectly!

I loved every minute of the day and looking back wouldn't have done anything differently!
