Your Herts and Beds Wedding - Page number 37 - August/September 2021 (Issue 87)

To match our pastel colour scheme, we had a simple leaf design for the table plan and place cards. We opted for a simple but tasty two-tiered cake with carrot and Victoria sponge flavours. We named each table after places we had visited, including Rome, Cape Town, Funchal and Sóller. I wore a Stella York ballgown-style dress, which I accessorised with a veil, a simple drop-pearl necklace and matching earrings. We knew numbers would be limited because of Covid-19 restrictions, but we knew it would be perfect as long as our children and grandchildren could join us. We were lucky enough to have 30 guests on the day! I wanted to incorporate yellow freesias as they were my mum’s favourite flower and my dad’s favourite colour. The Farmhouse at Redcoats is the perfect wedding venue, the staff were outstanding and nothing was too much trouble – Charlotte was fabulous and deserves a special mention. Each table was decorated with a pastel floral arrangement, hurricane lamps and candles. REAL WEDDINGS 37 37
