There is something so lovely about going back to your university to get married, especially when it’s where you met. It’s so personal, sentimental and thoughtful, an ethos at the very heart of Whimsical Wonderland Weddings. So there is no surprise that I loved reading the story of WWW readers Lauren and Simon who are featuring here today. Their uni friends must have loved going back to celebrate with the couple especially.
The couple were married in the Royal Holloway University of London chapel on the 23rd June 2017. The chapel is only available for only students, alumni or staff, making it a really special venue. The space was pretty incredible too, it must have been so atmospheric. It meant the couple didn’t need to go to town on the details, but could simply decorate and focus on a fun vibe. The flowers took centre stage with boho olive leaves and peonies used throughout to great effect. They also ensured a Mediterranean feel to their day, with the Croquembouche tower giving a nod to their French roots. They hired in live music to entertain, the Mariachi band in particular looked so entertaining and certainly contributed to the couple’s memories of the day. I just have to finally mention their choice of attire. Lauren’s ethereal gown was by David Fielden, it certainly looked stunning on her. Simon meanwhile went down the bespoke route for a really special grey suit and he looked very dashing.
