An Essex Wedding - November/December 2023 (Issue 113)

We found Lora’s stand and discussed creating a bespoke design. I felt really beautiful and classic. I’ll always remember getting into my dress with my husband’s little sister (who was my bridesmaid) holding my hand - so beautiful.” Isabella accessorised with ‘something borrowed’ (which was a Tiffany’s pearl necklace from her bridesmaid), a ceramic floral hair comb, Lily and Roo pearl earrings from her parents, a stud in her second ear piercings which had three stones to represent the past present and future, as well as her engagement ring. MEMORABLE MOMENTS “We were both in the most surreal but lovely bubble on the day. We spent a lot of the day with each other and let it sink in that we were actually husband and wife! There was also huge relief as absolutely nothing went wrong. Walking up the aisle to my future husband, whilst holding my dad’s hand with At Last by Etta James playing will always be such a core memory.” ISABELLA’S TOP TIPS! Leave more time than you think for getting ready in the morning - the last 30 minutes are hectic! Also, put a lot of thought into your songs, ours take me back to specific parts of the day. 39 REAL WEDDINGS
