A wedding at the Lido

Imagine basking in the sun on a lounger beside a pool and lazily looking up from your magazine to gaze at the small café where you got married? This is what you get when you decide to exchange vows with your amazing husband at the Brockwell Lido in London.

They chose the Woodland Discovery Centre in Ecclesall for the ceremony and the beautiful Whirlow Hall farm for the party. The wedding party took place in a huge barn, with haystacks and hanging bunting absolutely everywhere! It was rustic, layback, natural and incredibly romantic! Continue reading
