Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - July/August 2023 (Issue 44)

I also wore an elegant pair of bridal shoes. I chose, tried on and purchased my wedding dress in less than one hour! Being pressed for time, I accessorized it with a simple diamanté belt around the waist. “We were both so excited and nervous at the same time. We were looking forward to enjoying eight weeks worth of hard work and planning!” — Georgia and Jack We made our own pick ‘n’ mix sweetie bags for our favours which were personalised with our names and the wedding date. Keeping with the simple, timeless theme, we chose a lightly-iced white cake decorated with real flowers in white and green. Jenna, the cake designer and owner of Jenna’s Signature Bakes did such an amazing job. I already knew about her beautiful cakes because she lived in the house opposite my parents. Jack’s cousin baked us plenty of goodies for our wedding which included cupcakes decorated with green marbled fondant and our initials and wedding date. They were amazing and tasted delicious “During our wedding breakfast, in typical Royal Navy style, the best man was handed place names that had writing on the back of them. This is typical for a military dinner so Jack and I knew to take our place names before anyone could get them. At the end of the speeches, they were read out to everyone. We had one officer perform an Irish dance, another singing a sea shanty song and my dad singing a hymn.” — Georgia and Jack 35 REAL WEDDINGS
