On a crisp winter day at St Michael’s church in Aston Tirrold near Didcot, Oxfordshire, R & T said their vows in a wedding brimming with heartfelt details and eco-conscious choices. From the vintage charm of the bride’s dress to the handmade church decorations, every element reflected their commitment to sustainability.
The bride wore a beautifully reimagined vintage wedding dress, sourced from a charity shop and tailored to fit her. She paired it with classic white Dr Martens boots. The wedding flowers ad bouquets were made from dried, seasonal flowers in soft, muted tones, creating a rustic, wintery aesthetic. Best of all, these arrangements will last forever, doubling as keepsakes and home décor – another eco-friendly choice.
Leftover Christmas wreaths were used to decorate the entrance of the church and the aisles inside, containing dried oranges and pine cones. The reuse of festive decorations added a personal and nostalgic touch, perfectly complementing the couple’s eco-friendly theme. The medieval Church of St Michael’s Aston Tirrold dates back to 1080, with several major building works adding to it from the 14th century onwards.
The service was beautiful and personal to the couple. The bride is a scholar of the Bible and therefore the readings were particularly special to her; while there was also a light hearted mention of the groom’s IT background and occupation. I absolutely love vicars who know the couple so well and inject these personal touches into their sermon!
After photography coverage ended, the wedding party moved on to a relaxed wedding reception at the nearby Earth Trust at Wittenham Clumps.
