John are musical theatre buffs and wanted this represented on the day. Hayley adds, “The theme was threaded into the acoustic ceremony music, a flash mob with singer after dinner, and the fireworks were choreographed to songs from The Greatest Showman!” With the musical drama, Hayley and John set the scene with a literal floral centrestage where they would make their vows, foliage including flowers and herbs for an immersive experience could be seen running down the stairs guests used, and even floral collars for their perfect pooches, Pepper and Ivy. This impressive display of romance continued into the reception room, which carried a soft colour palette with caramel-tones, ivory, green and brass; all accentuated with drapes hanging from the barn beams and chandeliers – wow! Hayley wore a stunning bespoke version of the Suzanne Neville Caccini gown from the Symphony Collection. “I had an appointment with Suzanne herself as I couldn’t find a neckline that I was comfortable in. I loved the gown but wanted a different neckline; as soon as I described what I was uncomfortable with Suzanne knew exactly what to do.” Hayley teamed it with a Richard Designs ivory ribbon-edge two-tier veil, Christian Louboutin Sporty Kate Nappa shoes in leche, and pearl drop earrings. John wore a bespoke three-piece suit, paired with pale blush tie, silver coloured pocket watch and chain, and Christian Louboutin Greggo Oxford shoes in brown. The groomsmen wore John Francis blue suits, while the bridesmaids wore Sorella Vita dresses in a colour called Bellini and were formal one-shoulder floor-length dresses. REAL WEDDINGS 17
