Leslie and Richard’s Elegant Wedding at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew
Leslie and Richard’s Elegant Wedding at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew
Leslie and Richard wed at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, Richmond, Surrey. Their ceremony took place in the Nash Conservatory and the reception was in The Orangery.
This is the first time I have featured a wedding, photographed by London based reportage wedding photographer Clair Estelle, and I hope it is the first of many! I love how Clair describes herself as ‘a great story teller’ as I believe this is imperative when you are a wedding photographer. As well as capturing the order of the day i.e. from getting ready through to the ceremony, reception, and late night dancing, a skilled wedding photographer such as Clair ensures that she captures the little spontaneous moments that are so important.
Leslie and Richard got married on the 20th July 2013 and planned the wedding from Dubai in only six months! I love that whilst they were waiting for their official photographs of their day, they made the most of social media by using Instagram with the hastag #richardandleslieswedding to capture some great shots.
I am sure you will agree with me that their wedding is one stylish affair…
Leslie chose very pretty dresses in beige for her adult bridesmaids and a simple cream dress for her flower girl.
Leslie found her Pronovias gown at the boutique, Teokath of London Richard’s suit was from Neal & Palmer and his waistcoat and tie were from Favourbrook.

Kat of florist Roseberg wired individual heads of peonies, roses, and hydrangeas onto branches of a tree to create a beautiful display at the ceremony.
I love the rustic feel of these plant pots. And also love the concept of Leslie and Richard’s Elegant Wedding at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew.
The pretty flowers were created by Kat from Roseberg. Leslie is a big fan of pinterest and collated all her ideas before going to Kat for advice. ‘No job was too big for her,’ says Leslie.
Leslie and Richard created personalised cocktails.
Cakes by Robin made the couple’s very pretty wedding cake.
The children and adult guests enjoyed tins of jelly beans. I hope you like these highlights from Leslie and Richard’s Elegant Wedding at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew
