Our bridesmaids wore made-to-measure dark olive green-coloured dresses. They had a fishtail-shaped bottom and cowl top which looked beautiful. George wore a pair of cufflinks personalised with the date of our wedding. My shoes were closed-toe ivory slingbacks with statement crystal embellishment which fitted with the style of my dress and veil. George wanted something timeless and classic so he wore a stylish black tuxedo. He did try on traditional tails but it didn’t have the same effect as the tux. George stood out from the groomsmen, who also wore black tuxedos because he wore a waistcoat and the others wore cummerbunds. My veil was a cathedral-length style with lace edging similar to my dress. I wore the dress called Nini by Blue by Enzoani from TDR Bridal. I first saw this fit-and-flare mermaidstyle lace gown online and I loved how traditional yet modern it looked with a layer of glittery tulle and a long train. It also featured an open back with a keyhole effect. I visited a few shops, where I tried on various styles of dresses, including this one, but the sample was too small so I couldn’t see the true outcome. I visited TDR Bridal and tried it on again in a bigger size and thought it was the one, but thought I best try more on - I finally settled on the Nini style! The speeches were very special. 35 REAL WEDDINGS
