A mini Blog for Brides and Grooms to be, following the latest statement from Boris…

For those of you booked to have your wedding day later this year, last night’s statement has offered us hope.  The Prime Minister has given the tentative aim of the beginning of July for sectors of the hospitality industry and other public places to start to reopen.  According to a BBC news report this morning, the Secretary of State has said he is giving a "lot of anxious consideration to the effect of the potential changes" on the current lockdown rules on marriage ceremonies.  He has urged couples to "watch this space, we're working on it."

When The Bear Hotel got in touch for a wedding photoshoot at the beginning of the year, I jumped at the chance.  It is a landmark location in the heart of beautiful Woodstock.  An historical, grand building which is full of character and almost on the doorstep of Blenheim Palace.  On taking a tour of the hotel there were so many surprises; cosy alcoves and winding staircases; even an old tunnel which apparently leads to the Palace itself!
