Jane and Matt's romance has taken them around the world.
Jane met Matt's big day was on the 2nd June 2018, with Glenmore House, Surbiton setting the scene. Here, Jane tells us more about the finer details of their West End musical-themed day...
We designed the table plan so it looked like a West End theatre advert you might see in London, each table being a different musical.
We spray-painted wine bottles and used these as the centerpieces, with tiny fairylights intertwined and small tea light candles. We printed off signs for each musical and used that to designate the names for each table.
Matt knows how much I love fairylights so he strung loads across the ceiling and above the tables at the reception. The result was absolutely spectacular, and it created such a warm atmosphere in the room.
My dress was an ivory colour, with sequined straps, a sweetheart neckline and a train at the back. It was by a designer from Canada, as that was important to me, to have pieces of where I'm from incorporated into the day. I wore only an ivory feathered hair accessory and simple drop pearl earrings Matt bought me. I felt so glamourous and the dress was very comfortable and easy for dancing!
Matt wore a light-grey Ted Baker suit, with an ivory-coloured tie to match my dress. His best man wore the same, however, his tie was light pink to match the colours of the bridemaids' dresses.
We had a photo booth and DJ, and instead of a traditional first dance, we decided to do a first song together (as we are both musicians) – choosing a couple of our favorites to entertain people with! Our friends and family loved it and was something so special for us as a couple, to practice and rehearse this in preparation for that night!
