Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - Page number 40 - October/November 2021 (Issue 91)

We hired a DJ for the evening and performed our first dance under the new outdoor stretch tent at the venue. My grandad provided some additional entertainment when he carried a tray of flaming sambucas and accidentally knocked one over, making it look like he was carrying a tray that was on fire! Our beautiful bridesmaids wore floor-length multiway sage-green dresses. Our groomsmen wore grey tweed three-piece suits with sage-green ties and pocket squares and brown shoe s. Ben wore his military uniform for the ceremony an d changed into a dark green velvet tuxedo jacket for t he wedding breakfast. “Our photographer, Ben, exceeded our expectations. He knew exactly what to do and say at just the right moments. He was so skilled at getting everyone gathered in the right place at the right time and even fixed my veil in place after we realised my hair and make-up artist had left and I had completely forgotten about it!” − Samantha “We booked a caricaturist who was a huge hit! It meant that everyone had a keepsake to take home with them.” − Samantha and Ben THE DREAM TEAM Venue , Wasing, 0118 907 0199, www.wasing.co.uk/weddings, ww w.facebook.com/Wasingweddings, ww w.instagram.com/wasingweddings Photographer , Benjamin Stuart Photography, https://benjaminstuart.co.uk | B ride’s dress , Wedding Frox, 01483 276 766, www.weddingfrox.co.uk | B ride and mother-of-the-bride’s make-up , Kelly at Natalia Webster Makeup Artist, 07516 320 137, www.nwmakeup.co.uk | B ridesmaids’ hair and make-up , Kimberley Sage Hair & Makeup Artist, 07889 350 380, www.kimberleyatkin.co.uk Bridesmaids’ dresses , Lipsy at Next, www.next.co.uk | F lowers , Florence And Flowers, 01502 731 322, www.florenceandflowers.co.uk Groom’s tuxedo , M&S, www.marksandspencer.com | Groomsmen’s suits , Black tie, 01344 778 883, https://blacktiemenswear.co.uk Caricaturist , 07795 552 429, www.facebloke.me | L ive acoustic duo , Karizma, www.karizmafunctionband.com | D J , Innovents, 01344 774 874, www.innovents.co.uk 40
