Lily and Luc’s Fun, Relaxed, Sunny Gloucestershire Wedding by Olive and Wilde Photo and Film

Today we are celebrating spring with this gorgeous spring time wedding that took place in Gloucestershire a couple of years ago.. Lily and Luc wanted a relaxed day, that was child friendly and full of fun and that’s what they got in bucket loads. They filled their day with lots of lovely DIY details that gave a really personal feel to the day. From the flowers to the cake everything looks super cute and full of charm. The sun shone and the guests enjoyed a gorgeous outdoor drinks reception that was followed by a dress change for Lily, then a big old party celebration with the most fun looking band. Olive & Wilde Photo + Film was there to capture the day for us.

The best day that reflected our personalities. Fun relaxed and full of sunshine.

Lily and Luc were married on 25th May 2024 at Holy Trinity Church, Badgeworth in Gloucestershire at the Field at the end of the lane. ‘My grandparents live in Badgeworth village, and my parents, aunties and uncles were all married in the church. My Grandad is also buried there. He was a church warden and the church was very special to him. We ha 100 guests and it took a year to plan.’

How they met
8 years ago in a bar in London.

The proposal
We were meant to go to NY but Covid! So we went to Mousehole in Cornwall instead. It happened in front of the Christmas lights. It was perfect.

How did you allocate your budget?
We both agreed we did not want to spend a crazy amount. Band, free bar and photographer was most important to us.

Where did you splurge and where did you save?
We saved on the marquee and splurged on the band. Best decision ever!

How did you choose your photographer?
We find our wonderful photographer when scouring google and Instagram Chris and Honor were exactly what we wanted. Relaxed real shots of our wedding. They were absolutely amazing and the video they made us was so perfectly us.

To not sweat the small stuff. Just enjoy being with your friends and family. The other stuff really doesn’t matter!
