The speeches were a highlight, balancing heartfelt words with hilarious stories that had everyone laughing and even shedding a few happy tears. We included coastal-inspired décor throughout the venue, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere that felt like we were right by the ocean. The cake was a special creation made by our friend Leah at LB Bakes. It was a stunning three-tiered coastal-themed design with decorations that included fondant waves. It captured the essence of the coast while tying in seamlessly with our blue colour palette. Caroline Hodges from Caroline Hodges Flowers created the bouquets and buttonholes. We chose flowers in shades of blue, white, and soft green, which gave the arrangements a fresh, natural coastal feel. Our décor flowers were arranged by a local florist, Molly Lamb at South Milton Flower Farm. “Our first dance to “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing - one of my favourite films - was a truly special moment. It allowed us to take a step back, savour the joy of finally being married, and enjoy the celebration surrounded by all our favourite people.” - Bryony I wore the Jazzy Pearl heels from Charlotte Mills. They had a sixpence coin hidden in the heel, adding a personal and meaningful touch to my look. For my accessories, I kept it elegant and simple with my mum’s diamond earrings, a matching necklace, and a bracelet. When it came to choosing my wedding dress, I knew I wanted something that reflected who I am. After trying on a few options, I found style 2491 Palmer by Casablanca Bridal, a stunning fit-and-flare design, with delicate floral appliqués and intricate beading that shimmered. It had off-the-shoulder detachable sleeves and I had the neckline altered to soften the plunging neckline into a sweetheart shape. Top tip: “Look around and take it all in. One of the most special moments of the day is when you stop for a moment to look around and watch all the smiling faces of your friends and family, there to celebrate your love and the future you’re building together.” - Bryony and Sam 33 REAL WEDDINGS
