LOOKING THE PART While searching for the perfect gown, the bride fell in love with a mermaid-style dress by Justin Alexander. To finish off her look, she wore a matching pearl cathedral-length veil and a custommade flower crown. She says, “I felt so excited once I was all ready as I look exactly how I’d envisioned” Adam wanted to stand out from the groomsmen and wore a custom blue pinstripe suit with a grey checked waistcoat and brown shoes from Moss Bros. The others wore navy blue three-piece suits. The bridesmaids wore grey multiway dresses while the flowergirl wore a white dress with flower petals to match the bride’s gown. MEMORABLE MOMENTS The pair hired a DJ and steel drum combo to keep guests entertained in the evening, which was a huge hit with their loved ones. Guests said they’d never experienced anything like it before, they thought it was really different! People were on the dancefloor all night having such a lovely time together. The day was such a whirlwind for the couple, but they mainly just felt so happy to be getting married surrounded by loved ones after Covid restrictions stopped people from seeing each other. “The day was more than we’d hoped and imagined – the ceremony really stood out to us the most”, says the bride. She adds, “A funny moment from the day was when one of the groomsmen split his trousers from front to back on the dancefloor.” Adam thought that before the ceremony, him and Elisha were doing a first look. She says, “I convinced him that our photographer Jack wanted to try something different, and we dressed the best man in a dress and veil – we got some great photos and videos! Another memorable moment from the day was when the groom’s brother did the most incredible speech that was so lovely and funny. The couple’s suppliers really did make their day extra special and one to remember, especially Kirsty and Laura at The House of Styling. The bride says, “Not only did they completely nail our dream day, but they were so incredible throughout the planning process. They would check in during the lockdowns, were so good when we had to change our date and nothing was ever too much trouble.” She adds, “Our photographer was also amazing and made us both feel comfortable. It felt as though he was one of our friends, which we felt was important when we booked him as we would be spending nearly the whole day together.” The venue’s wedding coordinator was just the best and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day, Drew was so helpful and friendly to everyone. HONEYMOON As Covid restrictions had only just started to relax, the couple decided to go on a minimoon to Bath in a lovely boutique hotel. They have booked a tour of Italy for their honeymoon, which will start off in Sorrento and Capri, before travelling to Florence and Rome for two weeks. 28
