Your Surrey Wedding - Jun/Jul 2019 (Issue 77)

Matt and I decided to have our wedding at Wotton House in Dorking. We wanted a romantic venue that we could use for the ceremony and reception. When I saw pictures of the property, I knew right away it was the perfect place for us. The Roman temple and the ornate library made it feel like a grand church. The staff were superb and even moved 100 of their own chairs into the reception room when one of our suppliers didn’t turn up. Our table names were collages of us travelling together. Seeing Matt at the end of the aisle made me feel overwhelmed with happiness. I couldn’t wait to marry my favourite person in the whole world. We used a world map as our table plan to represent our love of travelling. We decorated it with luggage tags and named the seats after places we’d visited. For our centrepieces, we wanted something to reflect our spring colour scheme. Flowers by Elaine in Dorking did a fantastic job and even managed to incorporate light-up branches. We weren’t going to decorate The Old Library in Wotton House, as it’s already so stunning. However, when we were looking through our florist, Elaine’s, brochure we fell in love with a light-up flower arch. It made the room feel so romantic and made our day even more special. 40
