An Essex Wedding - March/April 2024 (Issue 115)

ALL IN THE DETAIL I’d really like a bridal gown with a statement back. Do you have any ideas? Are there any new trends I should look out for? Back detail seems to be the sought-after look at the moment, whether it’s low, illusion or very detailed, it’s all about the back. To be fair, that’s what people look at for the best part of the service so it stands to reason that it’s important to the bride. There’s also a lot of talk on social media suggesting that long veils are the must have item on a brides list and if they opt for a single tier it won’t detract from the detail of the dress. Debbie Meads | Peaches Weddings www.peachesweddings.co.uk HOLE IN ONE My hubby is a keen golfer. I’d love to surprise him with something quirky and golf related on the day. Do you have any suggestions? Many couples love to include garden games to entertain guests on the day of their wedding. For the keen golfer, I have just the thing! Why not try our wedding crazy golf. Here we’ll set up a nine-hole course for your husband and guests to enjoy and have fun during your drink’s reception or after the speeches. Sharon | Mr Tee’s mobile crazy golf www.mrteesmobilecrazygolf.co.uk WEDDING VIBES I’d love a singer during the wedding breakfast. What kind of songs are general crowd pleasers. Myself and hubby love ’90s Indie but understand this may not be suitable. Any help please? From my experience, by the time we get to the wedding breakfast, the wedding party and guests have built up an appetite for a good natter to discuss the magic of the day. For this reason, I’ve found an acoustic set with an assortment of soul, garage, pop and chilled versions of club classics always go down a storm! Some of my most popular song choices are: Cry to me - Solomon Burke; Came here for love - Ella Eyre, Flowers - Sweet Female Attitude, Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles. That being said, I’m passionate about making each wedding personal to the bride and groom and discuss in detail song preferences and wedding vibes.
