The team were fantastic at supporting me through the process and I tried on many different styles and shapes but the minute I was brave enough to try this fitted Suzanne Neville design on, I just knew it was the one.” Hannah teamed her dress with a statement handmade headpiece and a Swarovski ring that Andrew gifted her for their first Christmas as a couple. “My mum surprised me with a beautiful handmade bracelet by Libby Rack Jewellers that featured the diamonds in it from her eternity ring which was incredibly special,” Hannah tells us. “My pewter glitter strappy sandals were by Jimmy Choo.” Andrew wore a black velvet tuxedo jacket with a white dress shirt with small silver and black buttons and a waistcoat instead of a cummerbund. “It was a hot day to be wearing a velvet jacket and waistcoat but he stuck with it!” Hannah says. “The groomsmen wore a black tuxedo with a white dress shirt, waistcoats instead of a cummerbund and black patient shoes. Our beautiful bridesmaids wore one-shoulder, floor-length, black sequin dresses - they looked amazing.” TIME TO CELEBRATE Hannah and Andrew hired a company called Par-tee Events. “We chose to have their nine-hole wedding-themed mini golf which our guests loved!” Hannah tells us. “It got people talking, and laughing and helped those who didn’t know each other to socialise.” The couple also had Gordon Kyle play the trumpet as guests were welcomed to the venue. “We had Jonathan Stone play the bagpipes leading us out of the ceremony and during our confetti walk,” Hannah says. “We then hired a talented duo called The Duplettes all day and evening. They sang as I walked down the aisle, during our ceremony, throughout the drinks reception and welcomed guests into the wedding breakfast. They had a full band along with a saxophonist join them for the evening entertainment and everyone loved them. We also hired a company called Taxi Snaps which was a converted cream and black taxi as our photo booth. Our guests loved wearing the props and getting in a taxi to have fun pictures taken!” 40
