Vicky + Pip Boarstall Tower wedding film
28th May 2016 Vicky & Pip – Filmed at Boarstall Tower, Oxfordshire
Vicky and Pip’s vibrant, quirky, colourful wedding was a joy to witness, and a beautiful day filled with love and laughter. The celebration was replete with distinct symbols and signs of the couple’s fun-loving and lighthearted characters, and their families threw themselves into the spirit of the day as well. The morning was spent industriously, with Vicky and her bridal party creating exquisite buttonholes made from, well, buttons. Vicky’s bouquet was also made from a selection of gorgeous blue buttons, and her full-skirted gown with lace embellishment on the bodice was also complemented by a striking beaded flapper headband. Even her shoes featured a special, quirky detail, and had the poem ‘Something Borrowed, Something Blue’ etched into the soles.
The bridal party travelled to the church in roaring high spirits, and in a series of three vintage automobiles. Hooting to announce their arrival, they gaily descended from their various vehicles and headed down the aisle to where Pip was waiting. Vicky’s father handed his beloved daughter to the groom with a quick request to him to “Look after her” which was acknowledged solemnly by a nod from Pip. After the ceremony, the bride and groom gave each other their first kiss as a married couple, and the congregation was encouraged to give them a big round of applause by the minister.
Outside, Vicky had to be given a little help by her new husband as she clambered back up into their vintage wagon to head to the reception. The party was a wonderful, fairground-style affair, with delicious traditional fish and chips served from a food truck, and a proper ice-cream van for guests to be served their desserts- the bride even took up her place in the van to hand people their pudding!
The wedding cake was as artistic and fun as the couple, with yet more buttons as the signature adornment. The groom’s speech was also completed with that cheeky flair seen throughout the day, as he called upon that “excellent lyricist, Beyonce Knowles” to provide a few words of wisdom. He had, as she suggested “put a ring on it” and was thrilled to be starting his new life with Vicky (also known as Vicky Squirrel).
