legs and thighs, lamb spit with potatoes, minted beef steak and plenty of delicious sides. Dessert was a delectable tiramisu. During the evening, an Indian buffet was served including butter chicken, lamb curry, chickpea curry and more. A jawdropping dessert buffet was also available with a wide variety of cakes and sweets. DRESSED TO IMPRESS The bride wore Cindy, a sophisticated, off-the-shoulder gown with sleeves and a sultry fit-and-flare silhouette. “It felt romantic with embroidered appliques decorating the glitter bodice,” Tiffany says. “I wanted an elegant dress that accentuated my figure and was something that would look timeless in photos.” She accessorised with a long veil embellished with scattered diamantes and diamond stud earrings. “I didn’t want to over accessorise to keep the emphasis on the dress,” Tiffany says. Andrew wore a cream linen suit with a white shirt, dark brown shoes and a burgundy tie. His party meanwhile were dressed in fitted chocolate brown suits with white shirts and champagne ties. The bridesmaids looked beautiful in their satin dresses in a champagne hue with draped neckline and corseted bodice. CELEBRATE IN STYLE As Andrew and his family are Indian, everyone wore traditional dress for the evening reception and performed an Indian dance routine for their guests. “I come from an English background, so having the mixed English and Indian cultures was incredible,” Tiffany tells us. “We were able to integrate both of our heritages, and I especially loved the traditional Indian dress and dancing.” An open bar was on offer and a lot of guests had arranged to stay over, so this made for quite the evening bash, where everyone got involved and filled the dancefloor all night long! MEMORABLE MOMENTS “It was honestly the best day of our lives,” Tiffany remembers. “We made sure to take in every minute, not to over stress and just enjoy every second. We were both so excited to share our special day with the people that mean the most to us. “My brother and his family flew in from the U.S., which was the first time I’d been able to see him in years due to the pandemic, so it was really special to have him there.” The couple enlisted the services of an on-the-day wedding coordinator, knowing what a big task it would be ensuring staff were coordinated, timings were met and suppliers were looked after. “We were astounded by how effective and efficient Lucy was and how she ensured everything went smoothly. The day wouldn’t have been the same without her.” After the big day, the newlyweds set off for a two-week honeymoon in Mexico staying at Hotel Xcaret. “It was incredible,” Tiffany remembers. “The food, drinks, scenery, weather, people and activities all made for a lifetime of memories.” Finally, the bride shares her top tip: “Make sure you don’t just think about yourselves but also about how your guests can have fun and enjoy the day with you. When everyone’s having an amazing time, it makes it easy to have fun yourselves and make plenty of lasting memories.” 24
