Nine years after sharing their first kiss (to the day!), India and James Cardona got married in front of their family and friends at Belcombe Court in Wiltshire. It was the perfect spring weekend in the English countryside, with a rehearsal dinner nestled within a beautiful walled flower garden, a pre-wedding swim for the bridal party and festivities taking place over the sprawling, sun-drenched grounds.

A white trouser suit is a classic choice for brides who don’t imagine themselves getting married in a more traditional wedding gown. The Own Studio’s double tux jacket and wide-leg trousers is a beautiful option you’ll be able to wear again and again. We love how Lu Hough wore it with the sleeves rolled up. 

Short wedding dresses are one of the biggest bridal trends we’ve seen emerge in the last few years, and we for one couldn’t love them more.
