Sarah and Trev got married ten years ago, but this year, they held a vow renewal ceremony at Ashton Memorial in Williamsons Park, Lancaster – the same place they originally tied the knot a decade ago.
The couple surrounded themselves with their loved ones and enjoyed a gathering and pizza in a local bar and restaurant afterwards.
This was a super sweet, fun-filled and charming day captured beautifully by Love My Dress recommended wedding photographer, Lauren Elliot, who managed to capture all these gorgeous images in the tiny window of only two hours! Just goes to show what can be achieved when talented creative artists get to work.
A Mary Benson Wedding Dress
My dress was from Mary Benson. They were so helpful – my dress was a last-minute purchase and they ensured it arrived on time (I’m not sure what I would have done otherwise!?).
I would definitely suggest thinking outside the box when it comes to buying your dress, especially for a vow renewal.
My original wedding dress of ten years ago, was from Alice Temperley, so I’d ‘been there and done that’ with the whole dress buying experience. I just wanted a quirky, affordable dress that I could potentially wear again. I’m currently contemplating dyeing it!
I wanted to be comfy and feel like me. I regularly wear midi dresses and boots so I mimicked that but in a much more of a wedding version.
My Jacket was from River Island and my shoes were from & Other Stories.
Photography
Our photographer, Lauren Elliot, came highly recommended by a makeup artist friend. I was struggling to find the right person. Lauren was super easy and listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered.
I loved her style and was really impressed with the outcome of our pictures. Lauren was only with us for two hours so she pulled of a miracle really.
How They Met
We have been married for ten years and I’ve always said jokingly that if we make it to ten, then we would renew our vows in Las Vegas.
As the ten year anniversary approached, we decided that actually, this is something we would love to do, but we wanted to be surrounded by our close friends and family. So Vegas was off the cards (we’re saving that for twenty years!).
We then decided to renew our vows in the place where we originally got married.
Flowers
Sam of Free Range Floristry is just amazing. Once I’d talked her into doing my tiny renewal, she was perfect. I gave her free reign to just create what she loves with the flowers that were in season.
I knew I didn’t have to worry as everything she creates I love. I know from being a hairstylist my best work is when someone says I trust you do what you think would work best.
Words of Wedded Wisdom
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Have a think back to other people’s weddings do you remember the napkins being the wrong colour or the music starting 10 seconds late or the brides hair not going exactly as she has planned, of course you don’t as you don’t know what colour the napkins were meant to be.
The most important thing is that you enjoy the day, take away the things that worry you and just do you.
