Your Glos and Wilts Wedding - October/November 2019 (Issue 17)

REAL WEDDINGS 33  dress, but after trying on about 20 with my mum and sister, I ended up going for the complete opposite! The style I finally chose was Maribella by Mori Lee, which my mum and sister both agreed had the wow factor! It was a satin A-line gown with a crystal-encrusted illusion back and waistline and featured a cathedral-length train. I teamed it with a long veil and felt like a princess.” Joseph wore a luxurious wool and mohair made- to-measure suit, which was a present from the father-of-the-bride, and the couple’s bridesmaids wore blue halterneck gowns, while Anastasia’s maid-of-honour chose a sophisticated floor-length dress from Ghost. “This timeless dress looked so glamorous and certainly turned heads on the day,” Anastasia tells us. The couple decided to feature a family heirloom into their special day. “The silver wedding tray holding the rings and crowns was a gift to my parents on their wedding day – 38 years ago – from my grandmother,” Anastasia explains. TIME TO CELEBRATE “We entertained our guests with an English soul band and a Greek band during the evening,” Anastasia shares. “Both really got the party started, and our guests were up dancing all night long.” “My father and his dear friend Jose carefully selected the wines and champagnes, having them delivered from France.” – Anastasia. “The fun part of the wedding planning is indulging in bridal magazines and getting a sense of the style of the wedding you want to achieve.” – Anastasia.
