Seren & Dave's wedding was held at the Moonraker Hotel, a grade 2 listed Manor House set in its own beautiful grounds. Situated just on the outskirts of Bradford on Avon, it's not too far from my home town, Bristol.
Not all my brides choose to have bridal prep so I was delighted when Seren invited me in to have a sneak preview of her dress and spend some time with her and her bridesmaids before the ceremony. Getting ready in the master suite of the hotel her room over looked the gardens below where guests had already started to gather only adding to her excitement.
With a grand entrance full of energy the bridesmaids led the way bouncing down the aisle followed by a beaming Seren & her father. The ceremony quickly passed by with three readings from both sides of their family. Once over everyone gathered outside to take in the beautiful sunshine and sip on champagne followed by confetti being thrown. The couple opted not to have too many formal pictures so we took just one of the whole party and then a few with the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Outside in the marquee they stuck with their summer theme decorating it tastefully with sunflowers and bunting. Speeches left everyone laughing before the food was served. The evening entertainment kicked off with their first dance was to Dream Lover. The couple pulled off some great moves which made you wonder if they had previously practiced their dance routine but regardless it went down a storm with the crowd.
