An Essex Wedding - July/August 2024 (Issue 117)

course, said yes! The couple then went on to have an amazing engagement photoshoot in The Big Apple! Georgia adds, “The entire week we were in New York, the rain held off, but the one day I chose to propose it was raining hard. The photographer reminded me that rain is actually a lucky sign. This stuck with me and we even got married in a leap year!” On 24th April, 2024 Georgia and Daisy became Mrs & Mrs Archer at Gaynes Park. SETTING THE SCENE Georgia and Daisy had always loved Gaynes Park. So much so, just days after the proposal they booked for a viewing! Georgia adds, “We fell in love even more and handed our deposit over right there and then to secure our date. We took my mum and Daisy’s mum and dad to view it and they both fell in love too, so we knew we’d made the right choice.” The venue looked spectacular. Bergundy hues decorated the space, from deep red flowers on the cake to the wedding stationery to the bouquets – all softened with sprigs of eucalyptus and dusky pinks. DRESSED TO IMPRESS Two brides equalled two showstopping dresses! Georgia tells us more about the shopping experience! “We both wore dresses from Abigail’s Collection. We went together with our mums and chose our dresses together, so we knew what each other would be wearing. We actually ended up picking dresses that perfectly complemented each other. We both accessorised our dresses with J LO white high heels and diamond/pearl earrings.” There weren’t any groomsmen, however, Daisy’s dad was a main part in the event. He wore a dark navy suit with a rustic brown waistcoat with matching brown and navy brogues. He was also the only person to wear a white rose buttonhole to signify his importance. TIME TO CELEBRATE “The speeches that were done on the day were incredible and will always stick with us both. The overwhelming feeling of all of your favourite people seeing you and the person you love get married, on the happiest day of your life, is the best part of the day.” To end the celebrations, the brides chose a DJ so guests could dance the night away! Georgia adds, “Seeing both of our mums dance together made the evening and gave us a good laugh.” MEMORABLE MOMENTS Daisy and Georgia both felt a sense of calm on the day. Kudos for when all the hard work pays off! “We both felt extremely excited and overwhelmingly happy, we wish we could relive the day all over again. Georgina, our events planner at Gaynes Park was with us every step of the way. Any questions we had whilst organising the wedding, I’d email her and she’d help always putting our minds at ease.” 31 REAL WEDDINGS
