Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - Page number 23 - May/June 2021 (Issue 57)

LOOKING THE PART Natalie looked stunning in Tate by Ronald Joyce. “It ticked all the boxes for me. After trying on several different silhouettes, I knew I wanted something backless with a high neckline and subtle embellishment,” she says. The look was completed with her nan’s engagement ring, worn on a necklace underneath her dress, a diamond bracelet gifted by her mum and Pandora earrings to match her bridesmaids’. Adam wore a grey, three-piece suit paired with silver cufflinks that his bride bought him as a wedding present. They tied elegantly into the theme featuring a direwolf head, the Stark family crest. The groomsmen were dressed to match and wore smaller buttonholes allowing the groom to stand out. When it came to the bridesmaids’ dresses Natalie tells us, “I found it so difficult to find the right shade of green to suit all my girls, in fact it was a bit of a nightmare. So, I changed my mind and went for a blush pink, which looked beautiful against the flowers. I’m glad as they all looked stunning and got so many compliments throughout the day.” TIME TO CELEBRATE The hugely talented Harmony String Quartet entertained guests and played the Game of Thrones theme as Natalie walked down the aisle. Later, the newlyweds entered their reception to The Rains of Castamere , the soundtrack behind the show’s most famous scene, The Red Wedding. Natalie says, “They played so many of our favourite songs by artists including Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Sigur Rós and Guns ‘n’ Roses. They were magical to listen to.” Later in the evening a DJ played the couple’s requests, all tunes from their younger years. “We felt like teenagers again singing away on the dancefloor,” Natalie remembers. THE GETAWAY The newlyweds jetted off to another Game of Thrones location for a three-night minimoon: Dubrovnik, Croatia. “Where else could we have honeymooned but King’s Landing?” Natalie asks. The trip was short as they didn’t want to leave their daughter for too long, but they needn’t have worried as she was off having a whale of a time at Butlin’s with her grandparents! “I think we were both nervous but excited at the same time.” REAL WEDDING 23
