I first went to see Bourton Hall with my mom and dad as James was unable to come, and it felt like home from home. It had the turrets and the look of a castle but let more light in. I fell in love with it straight away. The original décor was stunning, and the chapel was exactly what I was looking for. We went back as a couple and agreed the venue was perfect for us. For our favours, we chose scratch cards, pink gin in small bottles with glitter inside, Lindt chocolates and the children were given a small plastic box filled with sweets and chocolate. James and I picked Sally Marie Cakes to create our big-day bake as I had seen her previous work and knew she made the most amazing sugar flowers I had ever seen! When I had my meeting with Sally, we spoke about incorporating rose gold or copper, and she did just that. The final creation was three tiers, with copper leaf trailing down with roses and eucalyptus leaves. Not only did it look stunning, but it tasted out of this world. The table plan and place names matched my vellum invites perfectly. They were on frosted plastic with rose gold writing, which looked gorgeous. We decided to go with numbers rather than trying to pick a theme for the table names. We wanted the wedding to be a little over the top but still classy. I didn’t want to stick to a colour scheme, so I used neutral hues with a touch of rose gold and copper. I fell in love with blossom trees and knew I had to have them as they were over the top but still very classy. I explained this to our florist, Wedding Wishes, and she knew exactly what I meant. She produced 10 white blossom trees, which were perfect, and people still talk about them now! For the top table I wanted a long row of flowers to go across the front that matched my bouquet, so I asked for white flowers with some greenery to add a pop of colour. 28
