Laura and Harry’s Eco Friendly backyard wedding in Black Dog, Devon7

Laura and Harry are from London and chose to have their eco-friendly, humanist ceremony in the back garden of Laura’s Dad’s home in Black Dog, near Crediton in Devon.

The whole day was really intimate, super relaxed and fun, and was filled with a literary theme of A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream as both Laura and Harry are keen readers and the wedding itself was held on Midsummer’s day!

Laura looked stunning in her vintage dress, which was bought from Fur Coat No Knickers in London. It’s so great to see brides choosing dresses and other details completely unique to them and I *heart* this shop!!

The ceremony was held outdoors and all the guests sat on benches – and the weather was really kind, which was a big bonus! As part of the ceremony, Laura and Harry also planted a tree in the garden and invited all their guests to fill it in with earth – a lovely lasting memory for the two of them every time they visit Laura’s Dad!

For the portraits, Laura, Harry and I headed off in my car to make use of a fabulous textured barn door just down the road and then the hedgerows and a field of corn provided gorgeous backdrops en route back to the party!

The reception was held in giant yurts and was catered by the wonderful Utterly Sexy Cafe, who I’ve worked with on a few weddings now. They did a stellar job and provided just the perfect atmosphere with the fresh and healthy food and vintage china table decor. Amanda from Utterly Sexy Cafe also created the gorgeous wedding cake, which was made custom for the couple based on their wedding theme. The stunning flower arrangements were by the fab Joanna Game.
