As it was winter we arranged classic Routemaster buses to escort guests from the old Covent Garden church to the reception at Dartmouth House, one of the capital’s most sought after venues.

In a break with tradition, informal speeches were made on the sweeping marble staircase before dinner, leaving guests and speakers free to enjoy the rest of the day.

We chose an unusual, subtle eau de nil colour scheme. This ran through the invitations, menus and the white, cream and pale green flowers in globe mirror vases on each table to match the venue’s stunning ‘wedgwood’ eau de nil and white cornicing.
