Having watched Say Yes To The Dress religiously since becoming engaged, Rebecca had a devised plan when shopping for her dream gown. “My criteria were: 1. A nice back or some sort of feature on the back, 2. Something a bit different and, 3. Sparkle.” She was lucky enough to find all three in her beautiful Morilee dress. Dan hired his suit from John Francis Suit Hire, and his groomsmen were dressed to match him. The bridesmaids meanwhile, were dressed in elegant champagne gowns. The standout entertainment of the day came via Grace, Dan’s daughter, who performed an aerial hoop routine. “She was incredible,” Rebecca remembers. While Rebecca loved every second of the big day, she has particularly fond memories of the morning, getting ready with her girls. “People kept asking if I was stressed but I was relaxed and just enjoyed it. The staff at Colshaw and our suppliers (MUA Sarah Meredith and photographers SMH) really helped with that too. Everything was taken care of, which was amazing,” she shares. The bride also has some sage words of advice: “Book the big things early as suppliers can get booked up far in advance. Do it your way – it’s your day, no one else’s. Try to block out the noise and focus on what feels right for both of you.” REAL WEDDINGS 23
