Daniella wore an ivory suit from Nadine Merabi before changing into a Champagne-coloured dress for the evening from Shauna Courney London. “I knew I wanted two different looks for the day and had my heart set on a suit for the ceremony,” she says. “It was so beautifully made and felt really special when I tried it on. For the evening outfit, this happened by chance. The designer reached out to me and asked if I’d like to try anything from her brand. When the gown arrived, I fell in love and I adored the sleeves; it was perfect for our evening celebrations and so different from the first look.” Dan looked dapper with a tux from Moss. As the couple chose to have an intimate ceremony, there were no formal bridesmaids or groomsmen. However, Dan’s two children coordinated beautifully with the couple. Noah wore a suit from Moss and Beau wore a white lace suit from Monsoon. Guests were treated to memorable experiences throughout the day, including a traditional Routemaster bus that collected them from Chelsea Old Town Hall. Daniella says, “It was so fun! After our meal, we also had a saxophonist.” For Daniella and Dan, the most meaningful part of the celebration was the quiet time they shared before it all began. They stayed at The Hari in Belgravia the night before. Daniella reflects, “For us, it was spending the night before and morning of the wedding together. We woke up and had breakfast, got ready together and travelled to the wedding in a classic London black cab. It was so special to share that and have that additional time together before the day began.” From a chance meeting years ago to a beautifully personal celebration in the heart of London, Daniella and Dan’s day was a true reflection of their journey.
