Helena and Tufail Saturday 29 April 2023
Helena and Tufail tied the knot on Saturday 29 April with a beautiful ceremony and reception in the Radcliffe Room.
We loved seeing how H&T transformed the Radcliffe Room from day to night with the most incredible details and luxe styling. The all white flowers, pillar candles and gold accents exudes glamour and opulence, perfectly complementing the high ceilings and chandeliers in the Radcliffe Room.
Whilst the reception drinks and photo opportunities took place outside, the space was transformed yet again by the team at Luxury Event Groups for the wedding reception. Think round tables, an incredible Poppy Pickering Cake and repurposed floral centrepieces from the aisle - it was a set up to remember. The evening was sure to go out with a bang as Optimum Fireworks put on a show stopping display!
Read on to find out how they fell in love, chose their suppliers and how the bride sent one of the ushers on a wild goose chase for a lost bow-tie that was 'safe'ly kept all along!
We hope you feel inspired...

What is your funniest memory from the day?
Losing the pageboys bow tie only to remember I (Helena) had put it in the safe in the suite to keep it safe. One of the ushers left Rudding to try and source a new one before the ceremony. Ooops.
