The Perfect Wedding Venue

EVERY ELEMENT BROUGHT TOGETHER

FOR THE PERFECT WEDDING DAY

Creating the perfect wedding day has so many elements - the only element that you can’t prepare in advance for is the weather - every other detail is in your own hands. F. Hinds has brought together an expert team of local businesses to create these stunning photographs to give you an idea of how lovely your own wedding day could be. The bride’s gown, the engagement and wedding rings, the veil, tiara and bridal accessories, her makeup, the groom’s suit, wedding ring and jewellery, the flowers, the transport, the location, the photographer, the list is endless………..but together these experts can make your wedding day the perfect dream day you had always imagined.

The venue is the starting point. Oakley Court, Windsor is a popular and elegant country house hotel, with the facilities to cater for wedding parties from 20 to 200, with fine dining and 35 acres of romantic and beautifully landscaped grounds on the banks of the river Thames - just perfect for your guests to stroll round and enjoy, and for your day to look its very best.

Interestingly, there is a historical link between jewellers F. Hinds and Oakley Court. William Hinds (1887 - 1957) was not only involved in the family jewellery business, but also helped to finance Hammer Production films in the years between the First and Second World Wars. These were famously known as Hammer House of Horror films, with titles such as Dracula and the Quartermass series. It is said that some of which were filmed at Oakley Court. The venue eventually became a hotel in 1981 - with a final double-check that no occupied tombs still lurked in the basement.

If you are looking for an unusual way to bring your guests to the wedding banquet, you might be delighted to discover that Salters Steamers has a variety of boats for private charter along the River Thames. And what could be more beautiful and unusual than for the bride and groom to arrive by boat along the river.

What to wear…what to wear? Immediately sorted by Tickled Pink Bridal wear and Bouquets, with their extensive range of designer wedding dresses (Tracy Connup, Justin Alexander, Sassi Holford and many more) available from stock, together with Forever Yours bridesmaids dresses made to order. The gown can then be finished to perfection with handcrafted tiaras, headdresses and accessories, all individually made to suit personal requirements from Arthur and Madeline.

For the bride to look her very best throughout the day, it is wise to seek the services of a professional hair and make-up artist. Sam Sheppard from Maidenhead has previously worked with professional models and pop stars, and could work her make-up magic on the whole bridal party in the comfort of their own home or at the venue of their choice.

Thistles are not in this instance to be avoided, as this Dorking based company creates floral arrangements that are simply stunning, both for the bride’s bouquet, for the reception and on the banqueting tables.

And that vital, symbolic and beautifully romantic wedding ring? F. Hinds has wedding rings in platinum, 18ct and 9ct white and yellow gold and also titanium; plain and dotted with diamonds, celtic weaves and twists, in his ‘n’ her sets with modern, eye-catching designs or plainer classic court bands - even a traditional worry ring with a moveable inner band. But there will be no worries when buying the engagement and wedding rings from F. Hinds, with its tradition for customer service and a presence in high streets that goes back 150 years. As well as engagement and wedding rings, F. Hinds has an extensive selection of modern men’s jewellery featuring cuff links, bangles and necklets, presents for bridesmaids and pageboys, and gifts for the ushers.

We also suspect that you have never seen such beautiful wedding photographs as these. David Linaker of Artweddings adds an innovative and sophisticated style to wedding photography, and beautifully captures not only the traditional moments of that special day but also the fresh, unexpected, novel and candid. Starting at the bride's home with her and her bridesmaids' preparations, then on to the wedding ceremony, followed by the reception, the celebrations and the guests, David will take an unlimited number of photographic images from which to make a selection.

But forget the traditional wedding album. The images are then beautifully assembled to create stunning and atmospheric multiple photographic montages to which the bride, groom and even guests can add text, messages and verses to create a unique memory. The album is a hardback book. The photographs on the pages are not mounted or stuck in, but are totally incorporated into the page. There are different book sizes to suit different budgets - and when you see one of the Art Weddings albums it is hard to imagine how bridal photography could ever be anything but as charming as this.

This team of wedding day experts was assembled to create these beautiful, romantic and simply lovely images of a perfect wedding day, which could also be yours.
