Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - November/December 2023 (Issue 101)

Jo Hicks Flowers provided all of the blooms for our wedding, which matched our dusty blue and merlot colour scheme. Brandon is a big fan of cars, waking up at 4 am for Formula 1 races and working for Audi himself. Naturally, we named the tables after different car brands. Our dear friend Natasha created beautiful table names with each company’s logo and name. We had almonds to symbolise the pillars of strength, candles with our names on and personalised napkins for favours. We loved Balmer Lawn Hotel, especially the beautiful outdoor ceremony space! Plus, our guests could all stay overnight, which was important as loved ones flew in worldwide. Having everyone in one venue was magical! Brandon chose the venue after deciding we wanted to get married in the New Forest. He wanted to ensure we were near somewhere I grew up and spent time with family. The number one goal was ensuring the families were represented in tradition while keeping the wedding how we envisioned. We made a pack to avoid anything unnecessarily stressful during the wedding planning. 40
