Samantha and Sam - The Perfect Day

For 12 years, since the age of 12, Samantha and Sam have been together and their wedding day was the perfect seal of this relationship. Spontaneity carried the pair to Dubai where Samantha was swept off her feet by a surprise proposal, backlit by the Ritz Carlton Hotel gardens. The dream continued from the beaches to the English countryside, where the couple exchanged vows at the delightfully rustic Bassmead Manor Barns in Bedfordshire.

The characterful charm of this location was added to in scores by touches of blush, gold and cream - topped with bunches and bunches of flowers. Perfectly quintessential, homemade Victoria sponges oozing jam and cream were stacked into a wedding cake and strawberry pimms was served to the guests throughout the day. Happily, the newly weds returned to paradise for their honeymoon - staying at The Grande at Moon Palace in Cancun, Mexico.
