An Essex Wedding - July/August 2023 (Issue 111)

Our venue was decorated by Decorative Events and it was stunning. We had blossom trees for a spring feel, a white rug for the aisle, and of course we had to have a light-up dancefloor - that was a huge hit! My dress was called Lucie by Justin Alexander. I always knew I wanted a fishtail style dress, and I f fell in love with this within an hour of being in my first bridal shop, Serenity brides in Colchester. I customised the dress to have detachable off the shoulder sleeves. I wanted to keep the styling simple, so I opted for a mediumlength, beautiful lace veil with detailing matching the dress at the bottom and kept it simple with a pair of earrings. I’d been to so many venues, and Ricky was being a groomzilla, in my opinion! My Mum had been to a reception at Greenwoods and advised me to go and take a look. I went on my own the first time and loved it instantly. It’s such a beautiful big space, and I knew I could turn it into my dream wedding. I kept the theme very minimal with a few personal touches. We had eucalyptus featuring on our place cards, table plan and welcome sign, which kept in with the sage green and spring vibe we were going for. 32
