Your Surrey Wedding - October/November 2025 (Issue 115)

Ellen and Gareth also had the opportunity to work closely with their wedding cake baker to create a truly bespoke piece. Their classic three-tier cake was made up of a vanilla and Biscoff bottom layer, pistachio middle layer, and lemon and blueberry on top. The cake topper was of them in their wedding apparel but with the addition of ski equipment to represent their shared love for the sport. Ellen wore a stunning Stella York dress bought at Helena Fortley and paired this with white court shoes during the day and glittery silver ones in the evening. Gareth and his groomsmen all wore grey suits from Moss Bros and paired it with purple ties from House of Fraser. The bridesmaids all wore purple knee-length dresses from Ever Pretty, and paired these with gold block heels from Paradox. Keeping the guests entertained during the big day was well under control, as this happy couple included garden games such as ball in the bucket, beat the buzz, hook a duck, and hoopla. This was followed by evening entertainment of a DIY photo booth and a live performance from The Rockpins – keeping the dancefloor pumping all night! The evening is typically where the bride and groom let go of the pre-wedding stresses, but was this the memorable moment for this couple? Ellen adds, “Seeing all our friends and family come together to celebrate with us was the highlight of our day. Plus, everyone has told us they had a wonderful time! “We were also looking forward to seeing how the cake we helped design would turn out, and we were thrilled to see the end result.” 34
