Momina & Jack, Syon Park

The happy couple  had the most perfect of English summer days with sunshine and a light breeze gracing the bride as she arrived in open top vintage racing green Jaguar with delicate floral swag.

Their ceremony was held in the Great hall, at Syon Park House, which is a sixteenth-century building, home to the Duke of Northumberland.  Some guests came as far away as Pakistan. While the estate has some of the most beautiful original features  the show was almost stollen by the Jacks adorable 14 month old ring bear and nephew as he toddled down the aisle bear foot.

The couple are passionate about gardens and flowers and Syon Park has the most beautiful floral and topairy gardens , so they held the first part of their drinks reception with champagne in the French court yard before moving their guests outside the Orangery on the lawn with both signature cocktails and lawn games such a croque to help  keep guests entertained and mix together.

The dress code was black tie and the bride  Momina flew to Pakistan to find her wedding dress, by a designer she much admired, Faraz Manan.  Instead of the traditional red she chose a cream and gold bespoke beaded floor length dress to pay homage to her Pakistani heritage which she paired with classic Jimmy Choo’s and her brides maids wore custom made cream silk habotai saris with metallic sequins beaded in a floral design, which flowed in the light breeze.

The bride had a bouquet of white peonies hand tied with silk ribbons and her brides maids bouquets were a blend of white peonies and hydrandea which had the most heavenly scent.

The groom Jack wore a black tuxedo suit in the day and changed into a white jacket for the evening.

Their guest list was both an international and multi-cultural  with gentlemen suited and ladies in colourful flowing dresses and many in elegant pastel saris.

The couple choose modern calligraphy designer Lizzie Matthews to create a beautiful invitation suite to set the tone of their wedding  and wedding stylist Sundari Ferris designed their  details of their day including a monogram of their initials as a crest and reflecting the light and airy feel of the Orangery by  incorporating beautiful gold charger plates and glass trim glasses by table wear from Duchess and Butler and summer scented ‘Orange Blossom’ candles by Jo Malone graced the tables and filled the room with the scent of summer.  The bride had  hand written notes for guests sealed with  gold wax to greet them at their tables.

Caters Admirable  Crichton created and beautifully presented canapes with  asian and international favour’s such as feta and watermelon in a gold case and nan bread in over sized gold curved serving platers.

Their wedding breakfast was followed with traditional speeches and the bride changing into a floor length white silk satin custom gown.  Their wedding cake was an elegant white chocolate cake, with different layers including salted caramel, lime & elderflower and chocolate.

After the cake cutting guests were entertained with  fire dancers, before the couples first dance under a star lit ceiling.  There was lounge area set up with candles in storm lanterns and for guests to retire to while others danced into the early hours.
