Ahead of our LOVE&LUXE Wedding Show this weekend at Rudding Park, we are sharing Tom and Milly’s heavenly white nuptials from last summer.

One whole decade, a pandemic and three postponed dates later, Tom and Milly finally tied the knot at Rudding Park last August after meeting 10 years ago while working in the iconic Betty’s Café Tearooms.

Dreaming of a backdrop of white luxe, glamour and elegance, Milly’s vision for her day was clear. And while at first planning was seamless, as Milly was able to stay clear and focussed on what she wanted, throwing in a global pandemic and a national lockdown five weeks before they were set to say ‘I do’ tipped things on it’s head- and then some.

Trying to accommodate reoccurring lockdowns and the constantly changing rules, Milly and Tom finally wed 15 months after their original date- and thankfully with the same suppliers they had booked!

 IT’S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE WORTH WAITING FOR!

SECOND HOME

Spending magical moments together as a couple, it seemed only right that Rudding would be the backdrop to Tom and Milly’s wedding.

FOR US, IT’S THE FEELING WE GET WHEN WE VISIT RUDDING PARK. WE ALWAYS FEEL AT HOME HERE.

MILLY, BRIDE

With seamless customer service, attention to detail, exquisite food and beautiful surroundings, we can only agree that Rudding is the perfect place to say ‘I do’– serving shades of a grand regal abode with elegance and sophistication in spades, while providing all the calming character of a real home from home. The perfect mixture for a magical wedding venue.

A white haven, Milly's minimalistic, timeless styling with balloon arches, tulle bannister ties and orchid centerpieces is giving us all the luxe vibes – consider the brief nailed.

Q&A

How did you style your wedding?

We had Seychelles candles from The White Company for our wedding scent in the ceremony and reception rooms. Many of the guests commented on the aroma. I think it’s a lovely idea to have a wedding scent. The scent ‘Seychelles’ will always remind us of our special day.

How did you pick the perfect photographer/videographer to capture your day?

Photography was such an important part for me. Lily photographed my brother and sister in laws wedding and they highly recommended her to us. We both love Lily’s style of photography and coupled with her personality and talent, we knew we were in good hands. She captured some very special moments of our guests which we will cherish forever.

Biggest word of advice to newly engaged couples?
