Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding - Apr/May 2019 (Issue 76)

My dad and I rode to the wedding in a gorgeous Rolls- Royce Silver Wraith. Ross was always adamant he would get married in sky blue. I don’t know which one of us was more surprised to find a Ted Baker suit in that shade that looked great on him. I have to admit, I had my doubts before we went suit shopping and thought he might look like a children’s entertainer! I’d always wanted to wear a princess dress for my wedding, and I wore London by Callista – a full-length A-line champagne gown with intricate lace and a long train – that my maid-of-honour, Jade, picked out. We chose to hold our reception in Bicester Hotel Golf and Spa, because of the amount of space in the Orangery Suite, and the amazing grounds really won us over. I grew up in Marsh Gibbon and always dreamed of getting married in St Mary’s Church. It’s a beautiful venue and has a lot of family history for us. I wore a pearl necklace that belonged to my late mum, borrowed a pearl bracelet and added some matching drop earrings. When I found the Joyce Jackson Pearly Queen veil, I wanted it on the spot. 48
