Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding - Jan/Feb 2020 (Issue 49)

We decided against selecting a theme for our wedding. It would simply be “things we love.” As I’m an art teacher, I designed our signage, table plan, invites, favours, place names, cake topper, and table decorations. Everything was animal themed, tying together both of our jobs and loves – zoo keeping and art! Seeing Alex walk down the aisle towards me really stands out in my mind, as the smile I fell in love with greeted me instantly. She looked beautiful. “Keep a spreadsheet of what’s going in and out of your bank account. Make sure you stick to budget.” Alex went to several boutiques, but said yes to the dress at Natalie Ann Brides in Liverpool. She wore an off-the-shoulder fit and flare gown complemented by a floor-length veil, Swarovski necklace and Irregular Choice Bambi shoes. The bridesmaids all wore simple yet elegant maxi dresses, which they’d chosen with Alex to complement the venue. REAL WEDDINGS 41 
