Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- December 2020/Janaury 2021 (Issue 24)

We wanted to have our ceremony and reception at one venue close to Swindon where we lived. I had always dreamt of a Christmas wedding so it was a dream come true. I handmade our favours which were baubles filled with chocolate tiffin which I made in my cake shop. They were finished with red and white roses, hearts and ribbon. Our table plan was presented on a mirror that we decorated. Our table numbers were wooden and painted red and dipped in glitter. I made the place names using a silver sparkly card with the names on in a decorative font. Our centrepieces were branches hand-picked from the woods and sprayed silver. We added lots of red, white and silver Christmas baubles. We kept our flowers simple using red and white varieties. Our bridesmaids carried posies of white roses that were reflected in the buttonholes. James had a red rose for his buttonhole and I had red and white roses in my beautiful bridal bouquet. “My mum was amazing, she supported me through the entire planning, making lists and helping me with all of the prep. I couldn’t have done it without her.” - Jessie 34
