Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- April/May 2021 (Issue 26)

Ashley and Daniel used wine bottles topped with dripping candles as their centrepieces. “We wrote each place name on brown tags and attached them to the candles. They looked great and worked well with our table plan which was a cork board decorated with hessian, twine and wooden pegs. We also had hessian bunting and plenty of childhood photographs decorating our venue and we gifted our guests a Yankee candle and sweets as favours. Our groomsmaids also received a rose gold bracelet each.” Ashley and Daniel decided on sharing platters for their wedding breakfast. “The caterers did a wonderful job,” the couple tell us, “and the platters were a sociable choice to get guests talking.” LOOKING THE PART Ashley wore a navy suit with a sage green tie while Daniel wore a grey suit teamed with a navy tie. “We both had a thistle pocket flower and our groomsmaids each wore a hair comb decorated with a thistle that matched these,” the couple explain. “They coordinated with us in our suits in their stylish sage and navy dresses and we allowed them to choose a style that suited them and that they would feel comfortable wearing all day and evening.” TIME TO ENTERTAIN The couple hired a DJ for their evening party and guests also took advantage of the great outdoors. “It was glorious weather so our loved ones explored the stunning surroundings and meadow,” Ashley and Daniel tell us. “The venue also have firepits outside that we lit and gave everyone marshmallows to toast along with sparklers which they all loved!” “All our chosen suppliers and the staff at the venue were so professional and helped us source everything that we wanted which made our day perfect!” - Ashley and Daniel REAL WEDDINGS 25
