The morning of Christopher and Antoine’s wedding at Oatlands House was low-key but full of anticipation. No frills, no over-the-top moments—just the two of them, getting ready in separate rooms, each preparing for the day ahead. There was a calm focus, a sense of excitement building quietly in the background.
Christopher’s choice of attire mirrored his understated style—his tailored suit was a classic, yet modern cut with a hint of contemporary charm. But it was the flowers that truly added an extra layer of elegance to their preparation. Both grooms opted for delicate, soft hues for their floral arrangements. Antoine wore a boutonnière of white roses with a small sprig of greenery that added just the right touch of fresh detail to his sharp suit.
Antoine’s bouquet was equally captivating. A mix of roses, peonies, and lilies—each flower carefully chosen for its meaning—stood as a symbol of their love and commitment. Soft blush tones complemented the crisp white and ivory hues, creating a beautiful contrast that was both romantic and timeless. The scent of the bouquet lingered softly in the air as she held it in his hands, ready to make his way down the aisle.
