Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - October/November 2024 (Issue 109)

I wore the A-line ivory gown called Rohan by Tiffany Bridal with beaded detail trailing down it. Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to wear a princess-style dress and the moment I tried it on, I knew it was the one. My mum and soon-to-be mother-in-law cried when I came out of the changing room.” Our three-tier cake was made with delicious buttercream frosting and decorated with small flowers that matched the floral archway and bouquets. We loved our beautiful blossom trees. Our stunning centrepieces were three vases with pillar candles of different heights, surrounded by green foliage and sprinkled with white flowers. We chose a mix of white flowers in season teamed with green foliage. “For our drinks reception, we booked a saxophonist to entertain our guests whilst we had our couple portraits taken.” - Vanessa and Dom “I felt calm as I knew that the team at Royal Berkshire had everything under control so getting ready in the morning was a breeze, until about an hour before the ceremony when the nerves started to kick in, but it was mainly excitement to walk down the aisle to greet Dom.” - Vanessa “Seeing our planning and vision for our big day come to life exactly how we imagined it was wonderful.” - Vanessa and Dom Our table names were after the places that we had visited together including Chicago as the top table. Our table plan was a DIY photo frame with pictures of us in all these locations. 37 REAL WEDDINGS
