As well as having a DJ, our wonderful guests surp rised us with a flash-mob dance, organised by our bridesmaid Chloe, which was amazing and most definitely entertaine d us! We had a Pimp-your-Prosecco bar for the drink reception and a photo booth during the evening which people enjoyed. We also had a sweetie bar, marshmallow toasting, and sparklers. I loved my denim jacket featuring the words ‘Just Married’. The groomsmen wore dark blue tweed three-piece suits teamed with pink and plum-coloured ties and pocket squares to tie in with the bridesmaids. Max wore a blue tweed three-piece suit with a paisley lining paired with a burgundy tie and pocket square, a pair of brown brogues and some personalised wooden cufflinks, which were a wedding gift from me. Our beautiful bridesmaids wore different dress styles that they all felt comfortable in. Two wore burgundy gowns, two wore pink ones and two wore plum. The flowers, hair and make-up tied them all together. I teamed my gown with a chapel-length veil, a drop pearl necklace and earrings, a Swarovski crystal bracelet which was a wedding gift from Max, a ring that belonged to my grandma and of course my engagement and new wedding ring.
