The artist-designer couple wanted their wedding day to feel romantic but home-made.
They decided to get married in and around their farmhouse at the Gloucestershire-end of the Cotswolds. They’ve been escaping there, with their whippet Merlin, since 2019. “We had spent a while getting the garden nice and then felt like it was the right place,” Luke says. Duncan describes the house itself “like a kid’s drawing of a house, with a gable, four windows, and a door.” They also liked the remote romanticism of its location, as it cannot be accessed directly by car.
The set-up took Luke and Duncan three days of fun and laughter. They wanted the whole thing to feel “kind of beautiful but very home-made, it wasn’t supposed to feel slick,” says Luke, so they took a chance on the flowers being the “choice of the day” from biodynamic farm Fern Verrow in Herefordshire. Fortuitously, the farm bestowed an incredible mix of Icelandic poppies, peonies, and lupins.
With their shared love of design bounty and Baroque, their choice of such a simple table setting may surprise. “I think you can go crazy so actually, we had the simplest of settings, rainbow candles from our friend Ben’s shop, and we did the table arrangements ourselves with the flowers that were left. It was so much fun,” says Duncan. The colourful menus were beautifully and simply drawn up by Luke.
