What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
We had a bride who provided her florist with antique china teacups - that were her grandmothers - which the florist dressed with beautiful flowers and then they were used as centre pieces. It was a really lovely way for the brides grandmother to be part of their special day even though she was no longer with them.

Where’s the best photo spot at Hawkesyard Estate?
That's hard to say - there are lots! I think most of us would agree that we love photos taken from the bottom of our wedding walk, looking over the lawns towards the hall. Photographers can position the happy couple under the grand tree situated in the lawns and have the hall in the background.
