Full-sized trees indoors, hankies in the air, and a village hall that turned into a proper party
Felicity & Jon’s day is a really good reminder of why village hall weddings work so well — you get the space, the flexibility, and it feels like you’ve made it your own.
They started with a church service in Woodstock with a few really lovely readings from friends and family. It felt personal and warm, without being overly formal.
Then it was back to Bletchingdon Village Hall for the reception — and they’d completely transformed it. The hall is bright and modern with huge vaulted ceilings, but they’d brought the outdoors in with full-sized potted trees dotted around the room, tucked in amongst the tables. It looked amazing and gave the whole place a relaxed, woodland feel.
And then came one of my favourite moments of the day: their entrance. Absolute chaos in the best way — everyone waving hankies, cheering, and properly getting the party started before anyone had even sat down.
Later on, the dancefloor was always going to be a big moment — Felicity’s a dancer, and they’d planned a proper choreographed first dance. She even had light-up shoes, which looked incredible once the lights dropped and everyone crowded in to watch. It was one of those moments that had the whole room cheering before the night had even properly started.
From there it was drinks, speeches, lots of catching up, and a dancefloor that didn’t take long to fill.
