#Metalina and amnesia roses full
“The other major pulls were the exclusive hire (you hire and stay there for three nights) and the fact that it was a dry hire meant we had full control over all the suppliers we used and the type of set up we wanted.” It also had lots of locations for different stages of the day – we had the ceremony in the boathouse, the drinks reception on the lawn overlooking the boathouse and the wedding breakfast in the rose garden. “We chose this venue because we wanted an outdoor wedding and the stunning architecture, water features and gardens against a backdrop of the Cotswolds countryside were perfect for the type of wedding we wanted. It was quite nerve wracking booking a venue before viewing it, but we were not disappointed when we went back to the UK a few months later and had the viewing as it was everything we imagined it would be from what we had seen online. “It took about three months of trawling the internet and contacting venues before I came across the The Lost Orangery at Euridge Manor and we booked it straight away. “As we are based in Dubai but wanted our wedding to be in the British countryside, I was limited to searching online for wedding venues,” Kim explained. Kim and Craig chose The Lost Orangery at Euridge Manor – voted the best country wedding venue in the 2020 UK Wedding Awards – as the setting for their wedding, but tracking down the perfect spot from four thousand miles away wasn’t exactly easy. “We wore three-piece suits that were handmade at a tailor in Dubai, so they fitted like a glove and were matched with pale dusky pink ties.” The girls wore a Luna by Nicki Flynn dress called ‘Paris’ in cameo brown (which is actually more of a dusky pink colour) which we got from Ocean Bride in Hove.”Īnd the groom and his groomsmen? “Well, I was basically told that the suits would have to be light grey to work with the flowers and the bridesmaid dresses!” laughed Craig. “I wanted the girls to feel elegant and sexy in their dresses and I wanted the colour of their dresses to match the flowers in our bouquets. When it came to dressing the bridesmaids, the most important thing to Kim was making sure her girls felt good. “I wore Valentino Rockstud sling back pumps in ivory and Chanel pearl and diamond drop earrings.”
The look was finished with high-end, high-fashion details that kept the bridal look modern and fresh. Kim chose an ivory lace, fishtail gown with a sweetheart neckline by Pronovias and bought from The Pantiles Bride in Tunbridge Wells. It was the most romantic night of my life and he has set the bar high for future anniversaries!”Īfter just under two years of careful planning, Kim and Craig became Mr and Mrs Mortimer-Harris at The Lost Orangery in the Cotswolds. “We arrived at Pier Chic, a beautiful seafood restaurant out in the sea looking out onto the Burj Al Arab, and it was there he got down on one knee and proposed – I think he had a lot more to say but I cut him off screaming, ‘Yes, I do!’. I straight away thought, ‘Oh my god, this is it, he is going to propose,’ but he didn’t and as we headed off to our next stop, I was a bit deflated! “The car pulled up at the Armani hotel and Craig met me at the entrance and took me to a bar with a terrace overlooking the dancing fountains with Enrique Iglesias’ Hero playing to the fountains. When I got back, he was not there but I found a note on my bed saying we were going on a magical mystery tour and to put on a dress and a car would pick me up at 6pm. “We had a spent a normal Saturday sat by the pool and when we got home, I booked a nail appointment and left him at my place. Seven months later, Craig staged one of the most romantic proposals Hitched has ever seen. If you’re looking to inject a little city-style opulence into your country nuptials, you’ve certainly come to the right place for inspiration.Ī chance Tinder meeting (yes, that’s right) led to the pair becoming inseparable and even sharing their first holiday together just one month after meeting. Kim and Craig’s day perfectly combined a whimsical and romantic garden party aesthetic with the glitz and glamour they had grown accustomed to while living and dating in Dubai.
