Your Surrey Wedding - August/September 2023 (Issue 102)

I got ready with my mum, sister, family friend and sister-in-laws, which was really special. Although they weren’t bridesmaids, I wanted them to have a treat, so I gave them a personalised clutch bag. My sister was maid of honour; but we invited guests to match our colour scheme to feel like a bridesmaid. Match the colours, wear a beautiful dress, why not – it was super fun. The invites, table plans and menus all matched. I was really pleased with how it all came together. We had guest bouquets, which was fun! We could see them being passed around for photos and it created that ‘everyone is top table’ feel. The boys wore a lovely suit from Next and accessorised with buttonholes matching the bouquets and pocket watches that we gifted to them on the day. The grounds at Barnett Hill are stunning. We loved the idea of booking the whole place and having rooms for our guests to stay. We were all about our guests and ensuring they had the best time. I wore a dress from Wed2Be called ‘James’ and accessorised with a simple veil. 32
