The wedding clothes, top hat and closed car with DD and chauffeur are Oxford-London. And Harriet flashes back to "herself in cloth of gold [...] and Peter with a gardenia in his lapel" on the evening journey to Talboys, which I'd interpret as them not wearing them *then*, but maybe I am over analysing :-)
They get back to Town at 5.30, then get smuggled out of the DD's at 6.45 in a taxi. Come to think of it, by modern standards that is an extremely short wedding reception, but I suppose the guests got to keep eating and drinking and the bride and groom didn't stay to the bitter end as they tend to now. I'd reckon they fitted in changing before sneaking down the back stairs but there isn't that much time.
