Known for being a simple and relaxed couple, Amy and James set out to prove that less is more when it came to their elegant wedding. Amy’s gown oozed elegance, as simplicity was what the bride was after for her wedding dress. To complement the elegant theme, Amy and James incorporated a white and pink colour palette.

The bridesmaids
