Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - May/June 2023 (Issue 69)

I wore Farrah by Pronovias. I found the dress online shortly after we got engaged and took a screenshot, thinking that something similar would be perfect. After trying on a few gowns at My Funny Valentine, which stocked Pronovias, I decided to try Farrah to find out what elements suited me. But as soon as I put it on, I knew it was the one. It was a definite say-yes-to-the-dress moment! “A receiving line after our ceremony was the best thing we did, as we’d then seen everybody at least once meaning the pressure is off.” I chose a longer length veil than cathedral, as the train of Farrah is so long. It was plain with a hint of sparkle so that it twinkled in the candlelight. I knew I wanted a traditional white wedding and chose an aisle laced with candles and blossom trees to create a winter wonderland. My dress was so big, wide and long – I hadn’t anticipated how I was going to get down the aisle with all the candles! As I was walking I could hear everyone gasping. I soon came to realise that this wasn’t because of my dress, but because I was so close to the flames and my veil was hovering above them at all times! Craig says, “The minute I saw Ash walking down the aisle, she took my breath away! She looked amazing, and although I didn’t think I’d cry, the tears were instant.” The aisle walk and ceremony were the standouts for me too. Walking with my dad and seeing the everybody and Craig for the first time was amazing. All of my planning had come to life. The groom wore a black tuxedo to match his party and the father-of-the-bride. Scan to view video 34
