Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - August/September 2020 (Issue 84)

REAL WEDDINGS 41  My bridal bouquet was simple yet elegant, combining white and pink colours while our bridesmaids carried posies of cream and white hydrangeas and the groomsmen’s buttonholes were single blush pink roses. I don’t usually wear dresses so I thought I would find it hard to find one that I loved. I took my nan and my mum dress shopping with me and allowed them to choose a style after I had tried on a handful of different ones. They really do know best because their choice was the gown I fell in love with! I kept it a secret from my bridesmaids and it was lovely seeing their faces after eight months of them trying to guess what I would wear! “The team at the hotel supplied mouth-watering canapés and a delicious barbecue.” – Claire Our beautiful bridesmaids wore blush pink and grey full-length dresses while John and his groomsmen decided on light grey, three-piece suits teamed with blush pink ties. Our three-tier cake blended chocolate orange, white chocolate and raspberry, and lemon flavours. The designer Kim also made 24 mini salted caramel cupcakes for us.
