Sam and Gemma's Wedding in The New Forest, Hampshire

Our Real Wedding

We had the most wonderful twilight black-tie wedding for 23 guests at the Montagu Arms Hotel in Beaulieu, New Forest on Thursday 27th November. Our ceremony took place at 4pm, followed by an English sparkling wine and canapés reception before dinner at 6.30pm, and the whole day felt beautifully intimate, relaxed and perfectly timed as the light faded. The setting, atmosphere and service were exceptional, and staying overnight in a Courtyard room made everything feel seamless and special.

We were so lucky to have an incredible team around us — Nicola Streader captured the day perfectly in our photography, our cake from Sarah at Braxton Gardens was both stunning and delicious, the bride wore Jenny Packham, the groom wore a DKNY tuxedo from Moss Bros. tailored by Letizia Beneduce, and hair and makeup by Francis Trowbridge-Moore completed everything flawlessly. We couldn’t have imagined a more magical way to celebrate.
