purchased in Norway. “It featured a lace bodice and I also wore the accompanying veil,” she tells us. “I wanted to keep my look simple with a vintage twist so I decided on a pair of blue bridal shoes and jewellery that belonged to our family members including Adrian’s late grandmother’s pearls and my late gran’s diamond stud earrings.” Adrian wore his traditional Norwegian Bunad for the ceremony. “Each region has a specific design and Adrian’s was from the Trondheim area where his family are based,” Emma explains. “I received my own Bunad that had been handmade by Adrian’s mum as a wedding gift which I will cherish.” Adrian changed into a suit with a pink jacket that was ideal for a summer’s day before dinner. “It’s a tradition in Norway to have one best man who also wore a summer casual suit,” Emma says. “Our five bridesmaids wore pale pink dresses in a style of their choice and my best woman, Jen, wore a beautiful lace dress and looked stunning!” TIME TO CELEBRATE Music was an important factor for Emma and Adrian and they filled their special day with three live music sessions. “Kim Cypher from the band called Dancin’ Easy performed a daytime jazz set during our reception drinks on the lawn,” Emma says. “We then had the local ceilidh band Hetty Pegler’s Tump who was brilliant, I think almost everyone was dancing which was amazing to see! Dancin’ Easy then performed as a seven-piece band and every guest commented on how talented they were and how much fun they had. Even my mum was up with one of Adrian’s friends which was the talk of the night!” “It was important to steal away some moments with our photographer, Alicia, to have some of our favourite photos of the day taken.This was one of the most romantic parts of the day for us both.” - Emma and Adrian 28
