Wilderness Reserve - Chapel Barn Wedding

Updated: Jan 19

Rebecca & Scott were the second ever couple to marry at the exclusive Chapel Barn at Wilderness Reserve, Suffolk in August 2021. It was a modern, luxury wedding inspired by Mediterranean bridal elegance.

After moving their venue location from Italy to Suffolk the couple still wanted to bring the relaxed, outdoor ceremony vibe to the UK. Thankfully the British summer weather was beautiful and they enjoyed a garden drinks reception with their friends and family.

For hair styling bride Rebecca opted for a glamourous Hollywood Wave to compliment her effortless and natural bridal makeup. Key products were Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in 'Sexy Sienna' and Eyes to Mesmorise Cream Eyeshadow in 'Oyster Pearl.'

Rebecca's dress was from renowned designer Dando London (from Confetti & Lace Bridal) which fitted her hourglass figure perfectly. Her bouquet and decorative blooms were a contemporary mix of dried and fresh flowers from local business The Untamed Florist.
