We also hired a saxophonist who the band recommended. Our guests loved them all and we have even had a few people book the band for their celebrations. Everyone enjoyed lighting the sparklers during the evening! Suzy, our photographer, made our day, it wouldn’t have been the same without her. She was great at sugge sting ideas and our photographs looked stunning. We wanted live music playing during our reception and found the TMD band on Instagram a few weeks before our wedding. They performed a medley of songs that sounded incredible. Max and his groomsmen hired their morning suits . Along with his best man, Max chose a different colour tie to stand out. I teamed my dress with a pair of bridal sandals and a pearl hair comb and earrings. I wore the Pandora dress and a long veil by Suzanne Neville. I wanted something classic and light and this was the style that I had originally chosen to wear on a hot summer’s day in Italy! We placed a polaroid camera beside our guestbook and asked everyone to take photographs as well as write us a message.
