A Beautiful Summer Wedding at Aswarby Rectory: Olivia & Huw’s Countryside Celebration

Olivia and Huw’s wedding was a stunning blend of tradition and modern elegance, set in the heart of the picturesque British countryside. The couple, who met five years ago in London, tied the knot this summer at the breathtaking Aswarby Rectory, a charming venue that perfectly matched their vision for a wedding filled with personal touches and timeless style.

A Stylish and Elegant Couple

Olivia, a 32-year-old Global Product Planner for Burberry, and Huw, 31, who works in Asset Management, have a keen sense of style that was beautifully reflected in their wedding day. Olivia wore a striking Vivienne Westwood gown that perfectly embodied her love for bold, modern fashion. Paired with a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes, her look was both chic and sophisticated. Huw complemented his bride with a classic yet contemporary suit from Suit Supply, finishing his look with stylish Crockett & Jones shoes. Opting for a white tux jacket as a nod to Olivia's attire.

Huw had envisioned, a place where they could honour their love and commitment in a timeless way.

They carefully curated every detail of the day, from bespoke stationery to thoughtful touches that captured the essence of their relationship.
