Cristina and Andrew: A rustic wedding in Henley-on-Thames

Henley on thames wedding day

Cristina and Andrew held a beautiful wedding in the countryside on 10 October 2022. The couple said “I do” in a romantic church ceremony before celebrating with a rustic autumnal style wedding reception. The couple used Wedding Photo Swap as a way to share their professional photos with their guests, as well as a way to collect all the candid moments caught by guests on the day.

After getting ready with her bridal party, Cristina and her bridesmaids – dressed in emerald green satin dresses – along with her flower girl headed to the church. We adore Cristina’s long sleeve wedding dress with sheer embroidered sleeves and a gentle fishtail shape skirt.
Groom Andrew wore a navy suit with a grey waistcoat and a green tie as a nod to the rustic colour scheme on the day.

The bride held a bouquet of dark red and burnt orange flowers – which beautifully suited the autumn celebration. Orange flowers were also used throughout the ceremony and at the reception as pretty table centrepieces.

Following their wedding ceremony in Henley on Thames, the couple then celebrated with family and friends at a rustic barn-style wedding venue. Post-ceremony drinks were held outside in the October sunshine, with oversized wooden garden games keeping little guests busy.
