Your West Midlands Wedding - December 2022/January 2023 (Issue 83)

I wore a beautiful gown from Shropshire Country Brides. I had no idea what type of dress I wanted, but it was the first one I picked, and I instantly knew that it was the one. To keep everyone entertained, we hired The Vertigo Band. We also had garden games dotted around, including croquet, table tennis and Jenga. Connor picked a plain suit with a cream tie, which had sunflowers on and a hint of the same green that the bridesmaids wore. For me, walking down the aisle was the most memorable moment. It was a feeling unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, and I felt elated, emotional, excited, and nervous! Walking out once we were married felt like all the pieces had finally fallen into place and like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. After months of stress and planning, it was all worth it. I felt surprisingly relaxed on the day. I think the morning prosecco may have helped! Connor was busy setting up with the groomsmen, so I don’t think he had time to feel excited or nervous, although he did have time for a quick pint! The bridesmaids chose dark green multiway dresses. I loved that they matched but could be worn differently. I also told the girls to choose whatever hairstyle they wanted but to incorporate gypsophila into it. REAL WEDDINGS 31
