Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - May/June 2024 (Issue 104)

Chloe Palmer and Forever Captured were a dream; they captured every moment of our day! All of our suppliers where awesome they helped us create exactly what we were looking for. Having our little boy at the wedding was the cutest. We hired Angela, a nanny from Call the Nanny agency, to look after Arlo so he was in and out of the day between nap times. I think what made our day extra special for us was involving so many friends and family in the wedding. My brother MC’d us, our parents and the bridal/groom party into the barn before the wedding breakfast so we all got to have a wedding entrance – everyone was really connected to the day! Both our mothers performed a handfasting ceremony for us, which was so special; my mother sadly passed away in January so the videos and photos I have of mum are priceless. To be honest we loved every minute of the day, the food the dancing, the love! Music was so important to us, we also wanted a summer/Ibiza feel on the terrace so we had a DJ and sax set straight after our ceremony, we then had the DJ play throughout the wedding breakfast and the duo played again after the meal. We then had a band straight after so there wasn’t a moment without music. Guests were dancing straight away and didn’t stop! Sorrels Catering provided our canapés, wedding breakfast and evening food. Our bespoke menu included homemade Dorset pasties and cheese boards for the evening food. They were amazing, I’m a veggie and my husband isn’t so it was really important that both dishes were as good as each other!
