Your Sussex Wedding - August/September 2022 (Issue 98)

Duncan Howlett, a fantastic acoustic guitarist, played for guests before the ceremony, including Champagne Supernova as I walked up the aisle. He also entertained us all during the woodland reception. It was lovely to see everyone dancing and tapping along as they sipped champagne. I had no idea what I was looking for in a wedding dress, but after spontaneously going into a bridal boutique with my sister I found the one – the first one I tried on! It had an off-white, oyster hue to it, which suited the woodland venue. Ed wore a three-piece, dark blue suit with a pale golden check. This was an easy process once he’d decided on blue. His brother, Ben, wore the same, but with a slightly different buttonhole allowing Ed to stand out as the groom. “Seeing my beautiful bride walking down the aisle to my favourite song was an incredible moment. I couldn’t hold back the tears!” – Ed Walking down the beautiful tree-lined redwood aisle with my dad towards Ed was a real highlight, I wish I could do that all again. The venue made our day extra special. The setting was just perfect and really made it such a stand-out day for us and our guests. Rob and Woody who run the estate went above and beyond to make us all feel comfortable and see we had a brilliant time. I also chose a long white veil, which I didn’t think I’d want, but it set the dress off perfectly. I wore flat white sandals too, as I didn’t want to be tripping over any branches! 34
