I tried so hard to get heels and be a bit girlie, but I ended up buying white Dr Martens platform sandals! They were perfect: I d anced all night, didn’t get sore feet and didn’t panic I was going to fall. I wanted a dress without lace, glitter or sparkle, which is harder than you think! Luckily I found my Stella York gown, with gorgeous spaghetti straps, plunge neckline, no detail, and a tiered bottom. All our stationery was made by my best friend Suzanne, who’s a graphic designer. We opted for white and off-white in style, with a hint of black throughout. The venue really does go above and beyond their call of duty. On the morning of the wedding I asked if I could set up the table names – only to be told, “that’s our job!” I didn’t have to do a thing, which made the day extra special. Our cake was amazing! I’m not the girliest of gir ls and wanted something different, so opted for an edible paper design. It was a mix of red velvet, chocolate orange and cherry and almond flavours. Le Petit Château had a totally different spin as a wedding venue to others we’d seen. We loved how the coordinator said they could make anything possible. The cocktail menu was a bonus, too! 28
