Irish family, and Craig is from a Spanish family, so we wanted people mingling and mixing,” Kayleigh tells us. “There was a large dessert table along with sweets for everyone to enjoy. During the evening, we had a rustic pizza van serving fresh pizza, and everyone enjoyed our stunning white two-tier cake, with one vanilla and one lemon curd layer finished with buttercream.” Kayleigh wore the dress called Millie by the House of Savin. “It was a full-length lace fitted dress with sleeves and a high neck that I purchased from Champagne & Charlotte Bridal Boutique in Bideford,” Kayleigh says. “It was classic, timeless and stunning, and I knew that I had not come across a dress like it at all. I instantly knew it was the one. I really wanted to look back at our wedding photos in decades to come and for the dress to appear timeless. Once I put my cathedral-length lace veil on with the gown, I knew that this was the last wedding dress that I was going to try on! I finished my look with a pair of classic ivory slingbacks.” Craig wore a tailored three-piece suit with the couple’s new name personalised underneath the collar. “He wore a small antique Irish clover brooch, which I noticed when we were saying our vows,” Kayleigh says. “This is a nod to my Irish roots and such a sweet gesture.” Craig’s best man wore a navy suit, while the couple’s two grooms-women wore olive green dresses. “Our bridesmaids wore bronze dresses in a mix of styles so they all felt fabulous, and I got some ivory sun umbrellas to shade the bridal party,” Kayleigh says. To entertain their loved ones, Kayleigh and Craig had quizzes scattered along the tables at dinner, and a saxophonist played three sets during cocktail hour, right through to their evening party. “We also had a phone guest book which was a retro telephone where guests could leave us messages and best of all, we passed our 90’s vintage camcorders to everyone to record our day for us and capture all the things we missed, from their point of view.” REAL WEDDINGS 27
