MARTHA FIENNES AND SIMON FINCH

SURROUNDED BY FAMILY AND SPECIAL FRIENDS MARTHA FIENNES AND SIMON FINCH CELEBRATE THEIR WEDDING AT ONE OF BRITAIN'S FINEST COUNTRY HOUSES

- ROSALIND POWELL

The beautiful 14th-century church and spectacular country house in North Norfolk where Martha Fiennes celebrated her recent wedding would make a stunning film set.

Which is fitting, given that the bride is not only a director and digital artist but also part of the famous Fiennes family, which includes her two actor brothers, Ralph and Joseph.

Many members of the clan were among the 240 guests celebrating the marriage of Martha, 59, to Simon Finch, 67, at Voewood House, the groom’s stately four-storey home on the North Norfolk coast.

DREAM DRESS 

This was Martha’s first time as a bride, and she marked the occasion with an exquisite wedding dress. Designed by Elizabeth Emanuel, the gown featured an off-the-shoulder bodice fitted over a skirt of grey pearl damask with layers of tinted tulle. Handmade flowers and leaves decorated the shoulders, and there was also a full-length veil.
