Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - Page number 43 - September/October 2021 (Issue 33)

Jessica, made us a beautiful purple wedding cake with Star Wars and Alice in Wonderland toppers because our original plan for the wedding theme was Star Wars in Wonderland at Halloween,” Natalie describes. LOOKING THE PART “I purchased my dress from Pretty Smithy Bridal located in Paignton,” Natalie tells us. “It was called Brooklyn and originally had sleeves so I had it altered and had a bolero made to match. I chose it because it suited my style. I wore a pair of lace heels for the ceremony and then changed into white Vans trainers after. My friend Stevie Clark did my make-up for me which looked wonderful. Harry wore all black and his tie and waistcoat featured a subtle pattern. He finished the look with a purple buttonhole.” The couple didn’t have any groomsmen because of the restrictions but they did have bridesmaids who wore dark purple knee-length dresses to tie in with the Halloween theme.” “Our daughter Ember was two- and-a-half years of age at the time and kept getting between us when we were trying to say our vows - she didn’t like us holding hands!” – Natalie and Harry “We visited Deerpark in Liskeard, Cornwall for our honeymoon. It was originally booked for the weekend after the wedding but we had to move it twice due to the lockdown.We ended up going just after Harry’s 30 th birthday for five days. It was just us for the first two days and then Ember joined us for a familymoon - it was great.” – Natalie and Harry REAL WEDDINGS 43
