LOOKING THE PART Stephanie wore the Lindsay dress by Eva Lendel. “I chose it because I loved the long train,” Stephanie explains. “I wanted something classic with a modern twist - the straps teamed with the beautiful embroidered corset delivered this. I accessorized it with a stunning pair of my grandmother’s earrings.” Harrison wore a bespoke lambswool three-piece suit teamed with a white shirt, a paisley tie and a tie pin. “He finished his look with a waistcoat, a pair of brown brogue boots and a gold pocket watch gifted from me on the day,” Stephanie says. “Our groomsmen wore brown tweed suits in a classic fit and our beautiful bridesmaids wore pale blue gowns.” TIME TO ENTERTAIN The couple had games and disposable cameras to entertain their guests, plus a live band after the wedding breakfast. “The day was meant to be relaxed with time for our guests to relax, chat and drink,” they tell us. “Joe from Keeley’s Kitchen surpassed our expectations with the catering which was incredible and Holly from the florist Wild Moments created the perfect setting.” – Stephanie and Harrison “The wedding breakfast was a memorable moment for us both. It was an opportunity to have a bit of time to ourselves to catch up about the day and watch all our loved ones mingling.” – Stephanie and Harrison REAL WEDDINGS 45
