Your Kent Wedding - May/June 2023 (Issue 108)

I wore Valentine by Suzanne Neville. It was a lace, fitted, off-the-shoulder, long sleeve, white wedding dress with a fish tail train. I was drawn to the lace detail and vintage look in particular, plus the material was flattering and made me feel comfortable with my figure. The groom and groomsmen were all dressed to match in beige tweed suits with burgundy ties and brown shoes. The bridesmaids wore navy, silk dresses. Exactly the same colour but in varying styles. I had nervous tummy butterflies in the morning, so I’d highly recommend a calming herbal tea to soothe any nerves, along with the bucks fizz of course! Choosing my dress was a really special moment, as both my mum and aunt had got their wedding dresses from the same boutique and were both there when I said, “Yes,” to the dress. The main theme and wedding décor was fresh flowers and sunflowers, and we repurposed what we could from the ceremony into the reception space, such as the sunflower arch, which was later used as a backdrop to the top table, plus sunflower and rose meadow pew ends. 44
