Your Surrey Wedding - February/March 2022 (Issue 93)

Denbies Wine Estate managed all our catering. We had a barbecue along with a wide selection of sides, so no one went hungry. Our evening food was a massive cheese tower. We love cheese, and so did our guests, but the tower was huge, so it meant we still got a great amount to take home with us too! The groomsmen chose blue tweed suits from Moss Bros, and Greg opted for a check suit from Walker Slater. It was a little hot considering it ended up being 23 degrees, but it looked great. Greg and I were so lucky to have perfect weather, so we could have our outdoor ceremony. Lockdown rules were lifted so all our guests, except friends in the USA, could come. After such an unsure year, we couldn’t believe it was happening, and we just smiled all day. My four bridesmaids chose different styles to suit their shape from David’s Bridal. I loved how beautiful they all looked and that they felt comfortable. Lots of my friends have already got married, so I wanted a gown that felt unique to me. My dress was by Pronovias, and I felt really special without being uncomfortable. The biggest plus was the fab team at Teokath of London, who sold me the sample dress from the store. I then bought vintage shoes and a headpiece from Lace & Favour. We knew we wanted a band, as after so long in lockdown, we wanted everyone up dancing and singing along. We found Rockit and loved their repertoire. It had hits from every decade, and they played all the classics without going overly cheesy. Our guests have all said how much they loved the band, and the dancefloor was never empty. REAL WEDDINGS 39
