Kyle always knew he wanted a navy suit, but since it was his wedding day, he wanted something slightly more special, so we went for a bluechecked three-piece option with tan shoes. The groomsmen paired their suit with matching blue ties, and Kyle kept it classic with a navy tie. I wore a Morilee dress called Rapunzel from LJ Bridal Collection. It came with an added overskirt and extra train, however, I decided not to wear it on the day as the dress was already stunning. I styled it with a simple veil as to not take anything away from the gown. I never actually had “that moment” that most brides get when trying on dresses, and I think there is a lot of pressure on women to feel that way. I probably never got that feeling as I wanted something different that people wouldn’t expect me to wear, which was a bit out of my comfort zone. I loved the gown and at every alterations appointment I began to love it more and knew it was the right choice. Looking back at the photos, it was without a doubt perfect, and I wouldn’t have changed a thing about it. I’d seen lots of multi-way bridesmaids’ dresses that never had the wow factor, until I came across the perfect design at Kates Dresses. Before the wedding breakfast Kerry Scorah, an amazing magician, entertained our guests. She was a great ice breaker and brought everyone together. She kept our friends and family entertained while we went off for our photos and even impressed people who were non-magic believers! During this time, we also hired Poppy’s Vintage Ices, a beautifullydecorated ice cream van, which was a big hit. We felt so much love on the day and I don’t think anything will ever compare to that. Looking around and seeing all of our friends and family having a good time was a wonderful feeling. REAL WEDDINGS 31
