Your London Wedding - May/June 2023 (Issue 89)

Liz’s dress was from House of Ollichon. It was a gorgeous two-piece that showed off her tattoos. Later into the evening, Liz changed into a 1920s-style white dress for dancing, and I switched up my jacket to a slightly more dazzling one at the same time. Liz’s bridesmaids wore black dresses and each picked their own style to feel comfortable and her nieces were flower girls and were unbelievably cute. My groomsmen wore dark suits that weren’t identical to allow each to feel comfortable and I wore a similar style but my jacket was black velvet with subtle brocaded patterning to stand out. We accessorised with ontheme buttonholes and knitted, mustard yellow ties. Liz accessorised with a stars and moon headpiece from Honey & Ember, shoes by Terry De Havilland and her usual array of gold jewellery and piercings. We had a non-religious service and it felt super personal and relaxed. Our celebrant, Patricia, from Hackney Council was wonderful. The main upper room where the ceremony and wedding breakfast took place was flanked by six olive trees. 29 REAL WEDDINGS
