The bridesmaids opted for floor-length dresses from Amelia’s Bridal Boutique in different shades of purple. To keep our guests entertained, we hired Alex Birtwell Wedding Entertainment. He performed during the drinks reception, welcomed the bridal party into the village hall and got our guests involved in a guess the song game. It was amazing, and everyone was so competitive! Later in the day, the rest of Alex’s band arrived, and we had them play throughout the evening. I wore a dress called Argentina by Modeca from Lulu Browns Bridal Boutique. I tried on a few dresses but kept coming back to the same one again. I accessorised with a long veil and jewellery. Joe wore a three-piece suit from Menswear@Amelias. To help him stand out, he had a different coloured waistcoat from the groomsmen. We used my grandad’s car, which my uncle drove for us. We’re a very close family, and it felt so special for us to be able to use it. Nomad Catering by James Brown provided the fo od. The canapés were delicious, and they catered for vegans too, which was great! We had a lobster cocktail for starter, roast beef for main, and as we wanted a p ersonal touch, we asked our friends and family to make desserts in jars. Everyo ne stepped up to the challenge. We had cheesecakes, Victoria sponges, tiramisu, ev en cheese and biscuits in a jar! We were overwhelmed by how much our guests en joyed making and decorating their desserts. REAL WEDDINGS 31
