Your East Midlands Wedding - Page number 24 - August/September 2021 (Issue 45)

LOOKING THE PART Everyone wants to find that perfect gown that not only reflects their theme but makes them feel their big-day best. Kirsty looked incredible in an Essense of Australia dress from The Ivory Room Bridal Boutique in Woodhall Spa. The tight-fitted dress with a nude underlining and ivory lace overlay featured beautiful details and beaded straps. She says, “I knew it was the one the second I tried the dress on; I looked in the mirror and cried. I’ve never really felt good about myself, but I loved how everything looked and I just felt amazing.” Rose-gold heeled sandals, a small pearl necklace and earrings finished off her look beautifully. The groom looked dashing in a lovely blue Marc Darcy suit with gold detailing on the pockets from Gere Menswear in Lincoln. To tie everything together, he added brown shoes and a gold tie. The couple’s two eldest sons Aaron and Joseph, were the groomsmen while their youngest was the pageboy – they looked adorable while matching with their dad. The bride wanted the day to be family-focused and didn’t have any bridesmaids. She comments, “I loved it that way; getting ready in the morning was so relaxed with just myself and my mum.” TIME TO CELEBRATE Having the right entertainment company can really add to the wedding and create unforgettable moments. The Piano and Cello Duo provide live music on the day and created so much emotion. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house once they started playing as the bride stepped down the aisle. To keep the little ones happy, the couple provided garden games on the lawns and an ice-cream cart, which was a huge treat. The lovebirds couldn’t have a big evening reception because of Covid-19 restrictions, but that didn’t stop them from having the most relaxing evening. The couple loved being able to socialise with friends and family with some drinks. MEMORABLE MOMENTS Both Kirsty and Ryan couldn’t stop smiling on the day, the wedding couldn’t have been better and exceeded all their expectations. Kirsty comments, “The ceremony performed by our celebrant Jenny Brown stood out the most to me. We were under the beautiful stone gazebo in the grounds, the weather was amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful with live music playing in the background.” After such a challenging year, having their loved ones together meant the world to the couple and the images showcase the love shared. Many suppliers made Kirsty and Ryan’s wedding extra special, especially the venue’s amazing team who were extremely helpful from the start and helped the couple create the perfect day. “The day goes so quickly, so take a moment as husband and wife to take everything in.The stress of planning your wedding will be 100 per cent worth the result.” – Kirsty 24
