Here's Part II of Cara & Steven's wedding following their ceremony (Part I) in the The Larmer Tree Gardens Temple.  The Larmer Tree Gardens is such a fantastic venue and it's great to have a venue on our doorstep that offers Outdoor wedding ceremonies.  Cara and Steven had a 'Secret garden' wedding held on a weekday and chose to get married in the Temple.  There are a few different buildings to choose from, but I do love the temple. Following their ceremony guests played croquet on the lawn and helped themselves to the table of sweet treats enjoying a tea party under the marquee.

The tables were decked with cakes and cookies from the Hummingbird Bakery and was decorated with vintage silverware and roses.  I loved the 'love is sweet' lables and later on the 'Mr & Mrs' props that Cara got from Etsy.

A guitarist sung a collection of 60's classics from the Singing Theatre and Cara & Steve danced to 'Lets Dance' by David Bowie for thier first dance in the open air. Do check out part III that was held in the stylish Boutique Grosvenor Hotel, where Cara slipped into a short wedding dress for the evening and her second pair of Vivienne Westwood shoes (how very Rock 'n' Roll!) 

Following the day time celebrations in the gardens everyone made their way to Hotel Grosvenor in Shaftesbury.  Look out for Cara's evening dress in Part III

Cara & Steven got married at the Larmer Tree Gardens on the 23rd June.  We had been looking forward to photographing this wedding for a long time.  When we met Cara & Steven they were so excited about their day and we hit it off right away. Cara told me she 'loved' her dress and showed me a swatch... it was covered in white sequins; I knew we were off to a good start!

We exchanged pictures of our exotic cats and stayed in touch. Cara kept me updated with their plans, their pink cadillac, her many flower girls and all the sweet treats they had planned for the day, including a desert table of Hummingbird bakery cakes and cookies.  We kept our fingers crossed for good weather and I am pleased to say the sun shone, even when it showered.  Cara & Steven's wedding day began at the stylish boutique Hotel Grosvenor in Shaftesbury, where I fell in love with the pink chair and Cara's Melissa shoes, it was the perfect setting for the couples Rock 'n' Roll wedding.

Here's Part I of the day, more to follow...
