As the wedding was in early April just a week after easter, we took inspiration from nature and spring beginnings, which complemented the beautiful walled gardens of the reception venue. We ended up with a rustic botanical theme, trying to reflect the start of spring in the venue decor and the fashion. The venue&rsquo;s grounds were filled with stunning bluebells in late spring when we first visited, so we used a bluebell \/ cornflower blue as our colour inspiration: the bridesmaids wore short, blue flowery Alice and Olivia Dresses with blue shoes, and the groomsmen wore blue suits with flowery blue ties. We tried to tie the blue into as much as possible- even the groom&rsquo;s laces!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-561463\"
