Tabatha & Matthew’s Summer Wedding in Winchester

Tabatha and Matthew celebrated their wedding on a beautiful summer day, surrounded by loved ones. The ceremony took place in the historic city of Winchester, within the stunning 19th-century buildings of Castle Hill, where the couple were joined by family and friends. Afterwards, guests made their way to the Hampshire countryside for a dreamy marquee reception.

Wedding Reception

Upon arrival at the beautiful garden reception, guests were greeted with a selection of refreshing drinks, including Billecart-Salmon Champagne, Aperol Spritz, Jéroboams of Maison Sainte Marguerite rosé, and mocktails, accompanied by a selection of canapés from the sea, soil and land.

Lunch was served in a top hat marquee, beautifully adorned with soft pastel-hued floral arrangements. Guests were seated at elegantly arranged long tables, featuring pale pink bow stationery and vibrant multi-coloured tableware and stemware. Sweetie wedding favours, perfectly matching the pastel theme, added a playful touch to each wedding place setting.
