How did you both meet and how did the proposal occur?
We met at university but didn’t get together until a few years later. Proposal happened on the Amalfi Coast in Positano.
What did you love most about Royal Berkshire?
The indoor and outside space, the modern yet sophisticated feel and the people were so kind especially Dominika.
Did you have a theme or particular style for the day?
We wanted a modern and classy feel without seeming too boring, so went for pastel colours will elegant flower arrangements. We also wanted mixing and mingling so went for long tables and a Friday more casual event as well as the Saturday.
Tell us all about the outfits...
I wanted a dress that matched the theme of the day, classy but not too boring! I went with a dress from Browns Bridge I found which I love! Rob loves his black tie so it was a natural choice! One of his friends made his personalized bow tie for him. On the Friday evening we wore Indian outfits which were a nod to our heritage.
What do you remember most about the day itself?
Being so happy and seeing all our friends and family in one place enjoying themselves.
Were there any special moments or surprises?
We were able to incorporate a little bit of us into the celebrations like having a dessert table instead of one dessert, having limoncello as a party favour, having Rob’s friend make his bow tie and having my grandmother’s favourite flower and precious stones in my earrings – those touches were each small but very special and made the day so personal to us.
What tips or advice would you give to future couples?
Think about what parts are especially important to you, whether it’s the vibe or the décor, and focus on those bits the most! The rest will fall into place.
