I teamed it with a cubic zirconia bracelet and a pair of drop earrings to add some sparkle.” Jamie wore a grey suit from Next in a slightly lighter shade to the groomsmen and the couple’s bridesmaids wore dark green chiffon dresses. TIME TO CELEBRATE Olivia hired a magician to entertain their guests after the ceremony which was a surprise wedding gift for Jamie. “This gave us the opportunity for our couple portraits to be taken without worrying about our guests,” Olivia says. “This was a big hit and our guests were impressed by the tricks they saw, it also helped conversations flow between people who didn’t know each other.” “Our photographer, Charlotte was incredible – our guests still comment how great she was and how she made everyone feel so at ease.
