Katie & Phil got married last August at St. Mary's Church and had their reception at Eshott Hall in Northumberland. 

The couple and their family but an enormous amount of effort into DIYing so many things for their wedding, much of the decor and had a vintage inspired theme.

The shoes were a design called 'Katie' by Rachel Simpson.

The gorgeous bouquets came from Lavenders Blue in Morpeth, the wildflowers were colourful and perfectly complimented the wedding theme. There were daisies dotted about and Katie also wore daisies in her plait.

The pale mint green camper van from All Cool Camper hit,  complimented the wedding colours beautifully.

Unfortunately the weather didn't play ball on the day, but the couple embraced the great British weather and even danced in it later on at the quayside.
