An Essex Wedding - Page number 39 - July/August 2021 (Issue 99)

Matt looked dashing in his Italian wool made-to- measure suit from Moss Bros, and a purple paisley tie. Matt’s brother, David, w ore his own dark blue suit; the contrast between them looked great. My best friend , Hayley, looked beautiful in a purple full-length dress, which had a blouse-style top and A-line skirt. I wore an ivory A-line satin ballgown called Ada from Adore Bridal in Chelmsford; I had a layer of underskirt removed to make it more flow ing. I kept my accessories simple with a pretty tiara and customised white Converse with p urple trim and Mrs. Speakman monogram. Me and my colleague spent 11 hours creating layered brownie mixes in jars as favours. We hand-painted name tags and covered the tops in different shades of purple material. REAL WEDDINGS 39
