A True Cotswold Beauty

The yourcotswoldwedding.co.uk team were honoured to be guests last weekend at the wedding of Miss Melissa Brown (a true Cotswold beauty) to Mr Stuart Cockburn.

Set in the unique wedding venue of the Grade 1 listed Notley Abbey on the Oxfordshire/ Buckinghamshire border, with the river Thame running through the grounds, the weather was glorious, the bride breathtaking, and the day an unmitigated success.

Melissa wore a floor length ivory gown and carried wedding flowers of a hand tied bouquet of cream roses, complimenting the autumnal setting as the leaves turned a beautiful shade of red, orange, and yellow.

The civil ceremony was followed by a champagne reception and wedding breakfast in the 13th century stone barn (originally the Monks’ Refectory) which is now a high ceilinged banqueting hall.

The speeches were the perfect mix of classic wedding anecdotes and entertaining stories, even the bride made her own speech, Stuart – remember she is still waiting for that Mulberry handbag!

A tower of cup cakes were eagerly eyed by the mini bridesmaids and page boy, one of the little bridesmaids couldn’t wait and was caught licking one of the cakes when she thought no one was looking! Of course the wedding photographer was able to capture this moment!

We then danced until late in an atmosphere of happiness and togetherness at one of the most elegant weddings I have attended.

From the team at yourcotswoldwedding.co.uk we wish them every happiness for their life together as Mr and Mrs.
