Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding - Nov/Dec 2019 (Issue 77)

We gave our guests miniature bottles of Jack Daniel’s as favours because we both love it and we visited the distillery when we were in Tennessee. Our flowergirls wore cowboy boots I bought them on our last trip to Nashville and scattered flower petals out of cowboy hats. Mat had pheasant feathers in his buttonhole to match my bouquet and hair accessory. Mat wore a country-style suit, his best man had the same but in grey and my bridesmaids looked beautiful in their twist and wrap dresses. “ We fell in love with the venue as soon as we walked in. We could get married outside, it was rustic and the manager even watched the Nashville TV show. It was meant to be, so we booked it there and then! “ “We chose modern country music for the ceremony and I walked down the aisle to the song A Life That’s Good from the Nashville TV show.” My Stella York dress felt very country-chic and worked perfectly with our theme. I arrived at the vineyard with my bridesmaids in an American Mustang belonging to Mat’s bandmate. 40
