It was the first time many of my friends had experienced this, and everyone had so much fun. During dinner a string quartet created a n ice, relaxing atmosphere. I saw them perform on an op en day at Braxted Park and it immediately reminded me of Bridgerton! I knew we had to have them at our wedding. As it was black tie dress code, Russ asked his groomsmen to wear their own tuxes. We’ve been to many black tie weddings with them, so he knew everyone had one and there’d be no stress with fittings or expense. I wanted my bridesmaids to wear long sag e green dresses, however, I let them choose their own style s. My maid of honour was my sister, so we designed her d ress differently so she’d stand out from the others. 36
