With its gorgeous Cadbury purple and turquoise colour scheme, Kristen and Ally’s summer wedding was
everything they’d dreamed. After a surprise proposal (‘As I opened the door he was on the other side, on one knee, smiling, holding up my beautiful ring, explains Kristen), it was full gallop towards the wedding of their dreams, filled with highly personal and meaningful choices.

The bride arrived in a horse and landau carriage – an inevitable choice given their love of horses - and the couple were married at Reading Community Church in Tilehurst, by the very same minister who had christened Kristen as a baby.

The reception was held at the beautiful Warbrook House in Eversley, who organised everything from the catering to the toastmaster, with finishing touches provided by AddStyle UK. The bride, groom and guests especially loved the fact that they had the venue to themselves all day and the party continued well into the early hours.

Venue:  Warbrook House, Hook
Transport:  Haydn Webb
Bridal Gown/Bridesmaids:  Supernova
Groom’s Suit:  Perfectly Groomed
Flowers:  Croppers in Bloom
Cake:  Cakes for Celebrations
