Jodie and Michael were due to get married in 2020 in South Wales where Jodie grew up but had to change their plans due to the restrictions in place because of the pandemic. “After four cancellations with venues, we decided to get married at Windsor Guildhall which is a public building that complied with the restrictions at the time,” Jodie explains. “When the government announced that receptions had to be held outside, the lovely team at Oakley Court were able to host us and provided the fantastic catering which everyone loved! We were just so relieved to get married because we were beginning to think that it wouldn’t happen!”
The couple chose a vibrant green colour theme for their big day. "Our floral arrangements included foliage, gypsophila and stunning cream blooms," Jodie says. "They were created by my friend's mum Amanda who owners Paper Rose Events. She filled round hat boxes and wooden crates printed with our new married name with these varieties."
The couple chose green organza table runners and matching chair backs, plus Fortnum & Mason wicker hampers, to decorate their al fresco wedding breakfast where guests were sat at three individual tables. "The stunning hotel building provided a magnificent backdrop, and we were so lucky with the bright sunshine that we had on our special day," Jodie tells us. "We placed bottles of Champagne Tattinger Reims on each table and gifted our loved ones a slate coaster each with their name printed on as favours," Jodie describes.
