Wedding in Lavenham, Suffolk

Ben and Holly recently married at the picturesque tudor hotel, The Swan, in Lavenham, Suffolk. A December wedding brought with it a Christmas theme, and the couple brought sparkle to the occasion with clever details, flowers and colours. All that was missing was snow to complete the Christmas fairytale theme!
