Your Herts and Beds Wedding - December/January 2023/2024 (Issue 101)

Our tables were named after cities we had visited during our time together, and our table plan was a world map The venue provided the catering for canapés, the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet, which all went down a treat with our guests. The team allowed me to add my favourite mac and cheese balls, which was a nice touch. We also wanted to give our guests the option between three meals for greater choice, which the staff were happy to accommodate. Our simple and rustic cake featured green and red flower accents as well as a golden retriever figurine to represent our dog Lola, who had already started ‘eating’ the cake! For all the cheese lovers, we had a tower of different options for guests to enjoy! I always wanted an A-line gown and the detailing on a Stella York dress drew me in. Although I wanted to tailor it by adding sleeves and dropping the back zip, I saw the potential at the first appointment. I wanted to recognise it being so close to Christmas with nods of green and red paired white and gold, which was incorporated throughout the floral arrangements. REAL WEDDINGS 43
