Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- April/May 2021 (Issue 26)

A shley and Daniel met at university in 2013. “We got chatting at a party and ended up talking for most of the night,” the couple tell us. “The following day we went on a wonderful date where we enjoyed a walk along the beach followed by cocktails and a movie night. Our relationship developed from there.” The couple became engaged during a surprise proposal. “Dan proposed to me at the top of Cadair Idris in Wales, the first mountain that we’d climbed together during our university days,” Ashley explains. “It was a complete surprise when it happened.” SETTING THE SCENE The couple chose the stunning Wellington Barn located in Calne as their wedding venue. “It’s such a beautiful place which isn’t too far from where we live,” Ashley and Daniel tell us. “We walk our dogs around the area so we already knew about the wonderful location and it was a firm favourite of ours from the start.” The couple decided on a navy and sage green woodland theme to decorate their day. “We chose succulents, moss and green foliage for our floral arrangements to reflect our love of nature and tie in with our woodland theme,” they tell us. “Our semi-naked cake sat on a large log slice surrounded by foliage and heather while smaller log holders presented our table names which were inspired by our pets. We have much-loved dogs, chickens and ducks so these were all printed onto different cards.” REAL WEDDINGS 23
