Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding - Mar/Apr 2020 (Issue 79)

I wanted Ryan and his groomsmen to all look the same; the only difference was the buttonholes. We chose the Balmer Lawn Hotel because we had one of our first dates by the river just across the road from the venue. I knew my ivory lace dress was the one as soon as I put it on. It made me feel like a bride and fitted my body shape perfectly. The flowergirls carried baskets of white and mint green petals. My bouquet of white roses was studded with diamantés and tied with mint green ribbon. Bridal Mill made sure I had the dress I wanted within 28 days, including the alterations. 42
