Get help from friends and family and delegate tasks.You’ll be surprised how many people love to help out and want to be involved in the planning, not just on the day.” - Charlotte and Jerry hairstyles,” Charlotte says. “Jerry chose a blue tuxedo for himself and his best man, the two groomsmen and both of our fathers. They all wore bow ties (Jerry’s was a velvet one so that he looked a bit different) with a black cummerbund and a pair of black patent shoes to finish the look and they all looked so handsome!” The couple’s bridesmaids wore olive crepe dresses from Pretty Lavish. “I won a competition on the company’s Instagram to win two bridesmaids’ dresses and I adored the olive colour as soon as I saw them, and love that this style suited them all! One of my bridesmaids is a make-up artist so she did all of the bridesmaids’ make-up too!” TIME TO CELEBRATE “Our band, Tux Fizz, were incredible,” Charlotte tells us. “Singer Chris performed during our reception drinks and then throughout our wedding breakfast. The rest of the band joined him later and the energy from them was fantastic - the dancefloor was full all night and they interacted with our guests. Everyone kept commenting on how amazing they were. There were a lot of lost voices by the end of the night!” 48
