The elegant four-tier cake picked up the palette too with its light pink icing and gold leaf decor, while clusters of peonies and roses added romance. However, Davina cautions that with a venue brimming with character, keeping décor simple is key. “I firmly believe that, when the interior of a venue already has so much character and history, it’s important to keep the look pared back,” she confirms. The bride wore two different looks, the first a romantic and classic A-line dress of sequin tulle, with plunging sweetheart neckline and sheer back. Her hair was swept into a low chignon, which combined with subtle make-up in soft pink and nude shades, lent elegance and a certain vintage air to the look. The second gown was a slim- fitting, A-line style of soft crepe and sequinned lace, paired with a more natural half-up, half-down do, using hair pieces to create the desired height and length and more dramatic make-up to suit the hotel’s chic cocktail bar.
