Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - Page number 31 - August/September 2021 (Issue 90)

The couple chose a vibrant green colour theme for their big day. “Our floral arrangements included foliage, gypsophila and stunning cream blooms,” Jodie says. “They were created by my friend's mum Amanda who owners Paper Rose Events. She filled round hat boxes and wooden crates printed with our new married name with these varieties.” The couple chose green organza table runners and matching chair backs, plus Fortnum & Mason wicker hampers, to decorate their al fresco wedding breakfast where guests were sat at three individual tables. “The stunning hotel building provided a magnificent backdrop, and we were so lucky with the bright sunshine that we had on our special day,” Jodie tells us. “We placed bottles of Champagne Tattinger Reims on each table and gifted our loved ones a slate coaster each with their name printed on as favours,” Jodie describes. LOOKING THE PART Jodie wore a dress by Spanish brand Pronovias teamed with a veil that was her something borrowed from her sister and a pair of ivory bridal shoes. “I loved my personalised denim jacket with Mrs Durnian printed on the back,” Jodie says. “Michael and his groomsmen wore grey checked suits while my sister, who was my maid-of-honour, wore a green chiffon dress and my niece, who was our flowergirl, chose an ivory lace dress tied with the same ribbon that was on my sister’s gown.” “Because we had to postpone our honeymoon due to the travel restrictions in place, we enjoyed a minimoon in Devon staying in the most beautiful cottage.” – Jodie and Michael MICRO WEDDING SPECIAL 31
