English Country Cool


Nathalie-Lucy Attar, 27, and Haavard Kverneland, 34, were married at Coworth Park in October 2011. She says:
We wanted a venue that had beautiful surroundings and a neutral interior so we could decorate it how we pleased. Coworth Park is so close to London yet it feels like the countryside.
We wanted the colour scheme to be romantic and fresh. Despite being hard to source as they were out of season, we chose Silverstone roses to match the slate-coloured bridesmaid dresses.
The team at Miss Bush Bridal Wear made dress shopping an exciting and special experience. They suggested designs I would never have considered and we played around with different looks and accessories.
My sister's veil was my 'something borrowed'. Miss Bush Bridal Wear added extra tiers so that it had the volume to match my dress.
Our favourite wine was shipped from Bordeaux especially for the wedding. Chateau Tanesse holds special memories for us that we wanted to share with our guests.
Instead of favours, we left goodie bags in the guests' rooms filled with scented candles, personalised M&Ms and painkillers for the morning after!
Guests wrote their favourite songs on RSVP cards, which we then played during the reception.
My top tip: A videographer is a must as the day goes by so fast. The wedding video is an invaluable souvenir.
