created a stunning disco ball mirror that served as a welcome sign and later as a marker by the giant spinning teacup. They also crafted a black prosecco ladder, adding foliage and more disco balls for that extra flair. The venue was adorned with multiple disco balls hanging from the ceiling and scattered on the floor, along with neon signs in pink and white that read ‘Till Death Do Us Party.’ The Shack even made a lightbox sign in black and neon pink that said, ‘Chrisyyy and Badgeyyy’, the couple’s nicknames. Each detail of their celebration came together beautifully, reflecting their fun-loving spirit and making for an unforgettable day. For accomadation, the Green Dragon Hereford Hotel just a quick fiveminute walk from the venue. The groomsmen and guests took a leisurely stroll, soaking in the excitement. Meanwhile, the groom’s step-dad made a grand gesture by adorning his Jaguar with ribbons and serving as the chauffeur for an intimate group that included the groom’s dad, bridesman, daughter, and mum. When it came to catering, the couple had fun with their choices. Guests munched on antipasto cones featuring black and neon pink stickers as delightful canapés. For the wedding breakfast, the menu was a hit, highlighted by steak paired with truffle mash, peach and burrata salad, and roasted veggies. The pescatarian option was a luxurious lobster served with the same delectable sides, while vegetarians enjoyed a comforting butternut squash Wellington. They chose to serve the meal family-style, encouraging everyone to mix and mingle, which created a warm and relaxed atmosphere. As the night wore on, the couple kept the fun going with a quirky evening food offering: pot noodle towers paired with Coronas, a playful nod to their favourite hangover cure. Guests could enjoy them that night or save them for the next day. To top it all off, there was an array of cake and giant marshmallows that could be roasted over fire pits, adding a cosy and festive touch to the celebration. LOOKING THE PART Lianne had a wedding day that perfectly reflected her unique style and personality. She chose the Elysee Zephyne dress from Surrey Brides by Enzoani, initially visiting the bridal shop just to get it out of the way since she was convinced she’d opt for something short. But once she slipped into that dress, it was love at first sight. To complete her look, she accessorised with striking hot pink Jimmy Choo platforms, a front veil, her mother’s wedding headpiece, and a short veil adorned with a delicate pearl trim. Her earrings were playful pieces from ASOS, and she finished it all off with a bold pink lip from Mac. She comments, “I felt like me but in HD thanks to the gorgeous look from my make-up artist plus friend. I felt very much the bride but with my own spin. I didn’t actually get a full look at myself as I surprised my best friend on the day by asking if he’d be my bridesman and then got ushered to the car. But I felt confident and was so overwhelmed with happiness and confidence.” Chris rocked a black leopard print blazer from Philip Plein, paired with a sleek black shirt and velvet trousers. He added a fun twist with neon pink socks and classic Dr. Martens, looking effortlessly cool and perfectly onbrand for their style. Lianne thought he looked absolutely hot! The couple opted for a more intimate celebration, encouraging guests to wear whatever made them feel comfortable. Their daughter chose a vibrant neon pink dress complemented by mini pink heels and sparkling glitter eyes, while their son donned a navy suit with a quirky leopard print shirt and matching leopard print Jordans. Lianne’s bridesman, who was taken by surprise that day, looked dapper in a pink twisted tailor suit that beautifully matched their colour scheme. Lianne’s mother made a statement in a neon pink off-the-shoulder dress, complete with eye-catching neon orange feather shoes and a coordinating orange and pink fascinator. As the ceremony unfolded, the kids led the way down the aisle, followed by Lianne’s bridesman and her mum. Finally, Lianne’s dad escorted her down the aisle in a classic black suit with a crisp white shirt. Chris’s groomsmen embraced the couple’s relaxed vibe, sporting a mix of colourful suits – some dressed up with shirts while others opted for casual t-shirts. 26
