Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding - December/January 2023/2024 (Issue 42)

provide the floristry. “Beth and her team were amazing,” Georgia says. “Our pretty bouquets and flower arrangements consisted of Playa Blanca roses and gypsophila. We also had the bridesmaids’ bouquets placed in vases with ivory petals and candles scattered around them on each table as our centrepieces. Reusing the bouquets was cost-effective and meant that our bridesmaids had somewhere to put their bouquets while they ate.” Georgia, Nathan and their guests sat down to a delicious wedding breakfast prepared by the in-house team at the venue. “Our two-tier cake was a simple design with a bow tied around the middle and a personalised topper saying The Westwoods which was exactly what we wanted,” Georgia says. LOOKING THE PART Georgia’s dress was the style Oliviana 2022 from the Blue Collection by Enzoani. “I added a long train and veil and it was perfect,” she explains. “Nathan’s suit was by Slaters. He wore the same one as both of our fathers and his best man. His shirt featured black buttons instead of white to look slightly different to the others and all of the male bridal party wore bowties.” The couple’s bridesmaids’ dresses were oyster-coloured gowns made to fit each of them. “Our flowergirl’s dress was teamed with a pair of ballet shoes which looked so cute,” Georgia says. TIME TO CELEBRATE Georgia and Nathan hired the wedding singer Libby to perform during their ceremony and drinks reception. “She was fantastic,” Georgia says. “We also had a saxophonist play during the evening called Lizzie. Every time she performed, the dancefloor was full. She came as part of a package with our DJ booked through Cosmic Events and the two of them thrived off each other. Our guests still speak about the musicians now!” “Make the day all about you both! Splurge on the things you know you’ll love and scrap the things you won’t. Just because it’s traditional doesn’t mean you have to include it.” - Georgia and Nathan 27 REAL WEDDINGS
