An English and Ghanaian Fusion Wedding

Linda, a menswear designer, and Fred, a broadcast engineer, were inspired by their Ghanaian and English heritage to produce a day filled with joyful color, with accents of gold and bold batik design.

The backdrop was the gorgeous countryside location of Hayne House, which drew the pair in using its secluded, romantic feel and historic importance.

"It was essential for us to possess a mixture of our heritage Ghanaian and English around the big. We have this kind of eclectic taste separately and desired to express this around the day. We opted for a bright bold palette with accents of Gold. We had traditional batik hand-printed cloth, sourced from Ghana by relatives, running with all the marriage party's outfits, reception hall decor, and even the wedding cake."

Her white wedding gown with its illusion and applique lace sleeves was from. Fun and playful, I believe it represents Linda's spirit in addition to showing off her beautiful figure.

"I loved the midi length and also the 50's style, the -length lace sleeve, plunging neckline, and also the lace button details that finished the gown."

"We met via a mutual friend whilst I was both studying for the A Levels. We got engaged in Prague on the long Saturday and Sunday; I was star-gazing around the terrace drinking Champagne (while you do). We were engaged for 2 years before getting married and started planning the marriage after a year to be engaged."

The ceremony occurred in the light and airy orangery at Hayne House, gloriously decorated with foliage and fresh flowers. The pew ends were adorned with slate 'Love' hearts and bright blue delphiniums.

"We didn't want anything too religious and kept our vows fairly simple. We asked Freds sister (my bridesmaid) to complete a reading of 'Here's To The Right Now' by Ms. Moem."

The May weather was perfect, therefore the newlyweds, as well as their guests, spilled out into the house's grounds to unwind together and play garden games. Shelby Ellis also swept Linda and Fred away for many charming photographs together, all from the backdrop of fresh spring leaves.

The dusty blue bridesmaid dresses were handmade. Their glittery metallic shoes echoed the bride-to-be's in fashion and they finished their look using their jewelry and carried pretty posies of flowers.

"Inspiration was obtained from vintage the 40s/50s dresses. The fabric was sourced from the Ghanaian fabric market by my mother and aunt."

I liked the intense blue from the men's suits, that have been. The contrasting accessories a bow tie and pocket square for Fred were handmade by Linda utilizing the same African batik fabric as her evening gown; an attractive, personal method to tie their looks together.

The dinner tables were decorated with yet more colorful flowers and fresh foliage, table runners produced in Ghanaian batik fabric that has been hand-made by Linda, and delightful wedding stationery, all developed by the bride. The centerpieces were flowering cacti plants, there was a range of condiments too.

Linda chose two gowns for her day; a tea-length wedding gown for that ceremony along with a hand-printed batik design for that evening party.

"We have such amazing memories of every part from the day in the ceremony that was quite humorous with Linda forgetting her very own name right through to our fabulous master of ceremonies getting everyone pumped for the Moet and Whiskey Toss and also the Mr Mrs game. Having our friends and family together getting along, laughing experiencing the day around was just amazing."

Words of Wedded Wisdom

"Don't take into account the little details. The most important part of the day is that you simply and your husband-to-be."
