Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - November/December 2022 (Issue 40)

We performed our first dance outside in the cour tyard which was fun and unexpected! We had a local band perform in the courtyard during the afternoon which sounded great. The sun was shining and it was better than we had ever imagined it could be, a real highlight of the day. He also wore brown brogues and a cool pair of cufflinks! Jamie wore a navy flannel suit with a grey checked waistcoat that was different to those worn by the rest of the groomsmen. The groomsmen wore the same suit as Jamie with a matching waistcoat to their suit. Their ties and pocket squares were the matching material to Jamie’s waistcoat and our three sons who were our three best men wore the same suits as their daddy! The bridesmaids wore Dessy dresses in the shade of Desert Rose. Our seamstress added belts to the dresses using similar detailing to that on my dress. I was given a silver horseshoe to hold that was very sentimental. I treated myself to a pair of Charlotte Mills bridal shoes after falling in love with them and they were so comfortable that I managed to wear them all day. I wore an Essence of Australia dress (style number D2840). It was an A-line gown with a high-leg split in the shimmery underskirt which sold it to me! I wore a pair of cuff earrings that my sister gifted me, a blue Swarovski crystal bracelet that my parent s gave to me on the morning of the wedding and a n elegant crystal hair accessory.
