the finishing touches. When I first walked into the marquee, I was absolutely flabbergasted—it was a real ‘wow’ moment.” DRESSED TO IMPRESS Katie wore, Millie May Bridal from Beautiful Brides. Katie’s grandmother was a seamstress, so it was all about the quality and feel of the dress. So impressed with the gown, Katie knew it was the one the moment she stepped out of the fitting room. Getting married at 5pm enabled Katie to really relax during the day in the safe hands of her MUA Leanne and hairdresser Perri, making her look and feel like a true bride. TIME TO CELEBRATE A twilight wedding meant the ceremony flowed perfectly into party mode, starting with a bridal party dance off! Here the groomsmen, eight bridesmaids, Katie’s son and the all-important bride and groom ended up on the dance floor even before the meal! Glow sticks, disco balls, saxophonist and Essence DJ on the decks kept the dancefloor packed all night. MEMORABLE MOMENTS “I’ll never forget seeing my 88-year-old dads face when he first saw me in my dress and getting to walk down the aisle with him.” REAL WEDDINGS 43
