We continued the celebrations the following day with a barbecue for lots of our guests before travelling to Jamaica on honeymoon the following day. We had the best holiday ever! My top tip is to be organised and have lists! Know exactly what you want and focus on what’s important to you, and not to others. We were entertained by live music from Adam Finney Music, as well as a DJ. My dad surprised us and booked a sax player for the evening, which guests loved. We wanted a range of music and a lively atmosphere. The dancefloor was full, with guests dancing all evening. The bridesmaids wore long, sage green, halter-neck dresses. They paired these with heels in a neutral hue and personalised necklaces that we gave them as bridesmaids’ gifts. Ashley, the flowerboy, best men, father-of-the-bride, and brother-ofthe-bride all wore matching navy blue suits with a subtle check. They had tan shoes and we bought them all matching socks! I wore a dress by Dando London. I didn’t think I’d have a fitted style, but fell in love with the detailing as soon as I tried it on. It had a low back and I had pearl buttons added. I accessorised with a simple veil, white heeled sandals and a diamond necklace. I also wore a Tiffany bracelet, a gift from my nan before she passed away.
