An Essex Wedding - November/December 2020 (Issue 95)

When we arrived at the venue we had ice cream and popcorn for everyone to enjoy. In the evening, a DJ (and my bridesmaids!) got everyone on the dancefloor for the wedding party we always wanted. We added personal touches to the styling such as the Mr and Mrs Kell lights and a wooden pallet adorned with Polaroids of the memories we have made together. Anthony wore a customised suit from The Grooms Room, Colchester, with our wedding date embroidered inside the jacket. The groomsmen wore blue suits with rose accessories, which coordinated perfectly with my bridesmaids’ Dessy dresses. My girls looked absolutely stunning. I wore the Yasmin dress by Stella York. I showed my bridal consultant at Matchmaker Bride a picture of a train that I loved on Pinterest, and she just so happened to have the dress! It was so beautiful and fitted; I knew it was the one. I accessorised it with a bracelet that Anthony bought me for our first Christmas together, and a diamond necklace he gave me as a wedding gift. REAL WEDDINGS 43 
