An Essex Wedding - May/June 2022 (Issue 104)

I wanted artificial flowers so they’d keep forever, choosing an ivory and teal trailing bouquet. I love my decision – my bouquet is now the centrepiece on our dining room table! We hired a magician to entertain guests in the even ing. He was amazing – my nephew was convinced he was magic because of t he magician’s skills! My husband and his groomsmen wore navy three-piece suits with emeraldgreen ties and pocket squares. My 11-year-old nephew wore the same for his role as an usher, and looked so handsome. Jac was very emotional at our wedding, and struggled to hold it together when I walked up the aisle. It makes me well-up every time I see the video of him struggling to hold back the tears. My bridesmaids wore emerald-green high-neck dre sses with silver diamante choker necks. They were a bargain at £45 each f rom Missguided – I had so many compliments about them! My dress was the total opposite of what I though t I wanted! I’d tried on lots of lacy mermaid styles when I spotted my Jus tin Alexander gown – and when I put it on it was love at first sight.
