Elif adds, “We didn’t rely too much on styling but leant into the period features within the castle, the grand feel of the mansion and the beautifully kept gardens – the venue did most of the talking! In terms of the flowers, we left all floral and styling decisions to our very talented florist, Flores UK. We had so many compliments on the blooms. Cheryl did such a fabulous job at bringing our vision to life.” DRESSED TO IMPRESS Elif wore ‘Louise’ by Jenny Yoo. She says, “I had seen the dress on other brides on social media and absolutely loved the look of it. It was equal parts classic and vintage and I thought the sleeves were the best I had seen on a dress! It complemented the venue really well.” Owen wore a traditional morning suit which he hired from Coes in Ipswich. He paired the suit with a green cravat and an ivory waistcoat. The groomsmen also opted for traditional morning suits, but with pink cravats. TIME TO CELEBRATE The happy couple set the tone for the day with a string trio, who performed a beautiful selection of music as the celebrations unfolded. During the wedding breakfast, heartfelt and humorous speeches from loved ones kept guests thoroughly entertained, bringing plenty of laughter to the room. And as the evening celebrations began, a DJ took over, ensuring the dancefloor stayed lively well into the night. WORDS OF WISDOM “Enjoy the process of planning a wedding. Pick one or two areas which are really important and don’t be afraid to stretch the budget for those key things – you’ll be able to focus your savings in other areas.” REAL WEDDINGS 41
