We then had the typical fairytale dream of getting married in a castle and soon realised this was perhaps not realistic with our budget. But we found Old Wardour Castle, an English Heritage site, which was perfect and didn’t break the bank. I would also recommend looking at National Trust properties as they offer beautiful settings for your wedding, which are all in support the charities & the conservation work they both carry out.

Our Reception is being held at The Langton Arms, a country Inn in the village of Tarrant Monkton, which sources local and organic produce where possible and they even have their own veggie patch!

We are currently hunting for a 1940’s suit in local vintage shops for Scott’s wedding outfit and he is even enjoying the experience, so that’s good news!

We are growing our own wedding flowers in our country garden. I have even started collecting rose petals to dry out to use as our confetti.

We are also planning on hiring a bus to take our guests from the ceremony to our reception venue, as it will be much easier for our guests and also save many separate journeys being made.

Do you think it's easy to be both stylish and green on your wedding day? Absolutely! I think the two go hand in hand. As Scott and I work in the wedding industry ourselves, we wanted to make sure our wedding was relaxed and an enjoyable day for all!

Have you got any tips, so far, for other brides looking to throw a green wedding? I would say do make elements of your day eco-friendly as it is fun and it makes your day a little more personal and special. D I Y projects will save you money on your budget and help add sentiment to the day. Eco friendly weddings also tend to be more unique, so if you are looking for a relaxed, low key wedding but still want to wow your guests then an earth friendly wedding may be for you!
