After the wedding breakfast, loved ones could try the impressive four-tiered cake. The bottom layer had a faint-marble pattern while the second had a soft-crystal effect, and the top two levels featured flowers. Michaela says, “Neither of us particularly like colourful florals, so we picked white blooms with plenty of foliage for a classic look.” LOOKING THE PART Michaela wore a stunning dress from the Pronovias Privee collection called The Pickford, which had a 1920s-inspired style with delicate beading and a detachable skirt. The bride-to-be came across Jaynes Bridalwear after searching high and low for the gown online, and the dress had just arrived in store. Once Covid-19 restrictions lifted, Michaela tried it on straight away and knew it was perfect. She says, “I felt so beautiful and elegant when I tried it on. Sam bought a delicate diamond bracelet and some pearl earrings to wear on the day, which finished off my look perfectly.” The groom opted for classic-styled tuxedos for him and the groomsmen. Sam and his best man wore waistcoats to stand out, unlike the others who wore braces. TIME TO CELEBRATE Booking a live band was essential to the couple as they wanted guests to have a fantastic evening. The bride says, “The first supplier we booked was Agent Smith. We were over the moon with their performance on the day, and they knew how to get our guests on the dancefloor!” Another big hit with loved ones was the magic mirror, which created the perfect memento to look back on after the day. MEMORABLE MOMENTS The couple had worked hard to create their dream wedding and couldn’t be happier with the results. A few moments from the day really stood out to them. The bride says, “After we got married, our toastmaster pulled us to one side while the guests went outside for the confetti throw. We got to speak as a married couple for the first time and had a glass of champagne to celebrate – it was an extraordinary moment for us both.” Another special moment was when the bride’s grandma, who could not attend the wedding, called the couple on Facetime from Wales. Their talented photographer Howard from Absolutephotouk captured the moment for the pair to treasure. Two suppliers went above and beyond to ensure the couple had the perfect day. Michaela says, “Our Harpist, Soraya Vermeulen, learnt a new arrangement of the traditional Wedding March and our first dance song – everyone commented on how incredible she was.” She adds, “The toastmaster Alan Hodge was just amazing and made the whole day run smoothly without us having to think about anything. His humour was great, and I don’t think we could have done it without him.” 30
