When comedian Jack Whitehall proposed to his girlfriend of four years, model Roxy Horner, he had an unexpected witness: the couple\u2019s baby daughter, Elsie. \u201cI\u2019d organised a trip to Estelle Manor, just the two of us, but we messed up our childcare and didn\u2019t have any,\u201d remembers Jack. \u201cWe got there quite late, so I said I wanted to just go to bed and have room service,\u201d laughs Roxy. Jack persisted and the couple did end up going to dinner\u2014joined by Elsie, who had eventually fallen asleep after her dad took her for a few laps around the hotel grounds in her pushchair. \u201cThe room was full of Christmas trees, it was so beautiful,\u201d says Roxy. There, with their daughter threatening to stir (\u201cWe saw her foot twitch!\u201d), Jack popped the question.<\/p>\n
Roxy, 34, grew up loving Disney movies and anything with a \u201chappily ever after\u201d storyline, and knew that she wanted a fairytale English countryside wedding. She spoke to one planner\u2014Studio White Events\u2014who instantly got her vision. \u201cThey showed me a couple of venues, and Euridge Manor in Wiltshire was one of them\u2014it was just perfect,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was exactly a year ago, on a beautiful day like today and there was wisteria everywhere, which I love.\u201d Indeed, the wisteria did a lot of the leg work on the day\u2014although the couple did hire Wild About Flowers to add some white blooms, to make everything feel more \u201cwedding\u201d.<\/p>\n
When it came to finding her wedding dress<\/a>, by contrast, Roxy wasn\u2019t sure what she wanted. \u201cI\u2019ve done so many wedding<\/a> brand shoots in my life, but I\u2019ve never paid much attention to what I liked,\u201d she explains. \u201cWhen I went to try on dresses for my own wedding, I ended up choosing one of the first I tried on. Well, two\u2026\u201d The bride-to-be fell in love with two beautiful Galia Lahav gowns, and ultimately ended up deciding to get both\u2014keeping one to change into for the party\u2014as well as a veil.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n For her accessories, Roxy chose Ala\u00efa\u2019s Le Coeur heels, switching into another pair by Freya Rose for the reception. \u201cI wore them the next day too for our farewell brunch, they are so comfy,\u201d she shares. The couple\u2019s wedding bands were by Brilliant Earth, while Roxy also wore a diamond necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring by Rox Jewellery. \u201cI also wore my grandmother\u2019s engagement ring that she handed down to me when she passed away, which was so special,\u201d she reveals. For her \u201csomething borrowed\u201d, she wore a bell on her bouquet\u2014a family tradition that goes back hundreds of years. \u201cI also wore a little blue ribbon on my garter, but it fell off!\u201d<\/p>\n
