All James and Maisy wanted for their wedding day was to be with everyone they love, and have a super relaxed day. They met at a music festival on Cowley Road in Oxford, and Maisy knew James was a keeper as when they got talking James revealed he had just read How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran.
There are so many wonderful details at this wedding… take a peek below for more…
After getting married at the Bodleian Library in Oxford city centre, they walked through the city with their guests to the river to hop onto a boat which took them to The Perch.
There is nothing more magical than walking through the street of Oxford with your hundreds or so guests.
Everyone following each other on a kind of tour of the great city. Guests chatting and catching up, heals being taken off, and sharing brollies as it decided to rain on this particular day.
Getting off the boat, you walk down magical path before you get to The Perch wedding venue. It is my favourite wedding venue in Oxford by far.
James and Maisy were greeted by a line of confetti from their guests which was great fun.
They are both massive book worms and so turned their love for books into favours for their wedding guest. They created a little library of books and asked guests to help themselves which I though was such a fantastic idea. They also had ‘CULTURE VULTURE’ printed pieces of paper, encouraging guests to share their favourite books, tv programme, podcasts etc with them. I loved this idea so much I used it at my wedding. It’s great inspiration for you, and the guests love it as they talk and share their favoured culture things…
