When I first saw this wedding in a magazine (one-fifth of the original, and only, batch I bought) it was almost exactly what I had in mind. From the lawn games to the mismatched granny crockery it was imperfectly perfect.

Unfortunately the practicalities of an English summer wedding were rapidly naysayed by my sun-loving in-laws-to-be; having their lawn flooded the previous July put them off the idea of lanterns hanging from the trees and children playing croquet whilst we got down to the important business of the vows.
But know I've realised that Ms Peacock is having the English garden tea party wedding of my dreams so I can happily live out that wedding fantasy through her!

I agree. Croquet is great. We used to play at my mother's beach house in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Now we play at her house in Santa Barbara, California. As long as you have a lawn anywhere you can play. Maybe you can have croquet somewhere sunny?
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great game isn't it? I just love that everyone ends up playing, kids and grandparents alike!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it will still feature in the wedding...
Thanks Aubergine! :)
