Wedding at The Lawn Rochford

The Lawn Rochford wedding of Elisa and Karl is one I’ve been looking forward to sharing with you. They had their marriage ceremony at St Peter and St Paul Hockley with the rest of the day at The Lawn, Rochford, in Essex.

 

Elisa got ready at The Lawn and I couldn’t help but use the dramatic balcony to hang her Kay Mason Brides dress.

Elisa and her ‘maids Lianne, Lucina, Sara and Lottie wore matching silky robes for the morning – sticking to the day’s red and white theme.

Elisa’s father was about as proud as any dad could be – just look at that face – and the hug.

When everyone was ready, Elisa and her girls had a moment together and she’s ready to go down The Lawn’s grand staircase for her wedding.

Once all the paperwork is done, Elisa and Karl make their way through handfuls of red and white rose petals back to The Lawn – but not before a couple of family photos outside the church.
