Martin and the groomsmen all wore navy suits with tan brogues, blush ties and pocket squares to match the full-length bridesmaids’ dresses. The colour matched our day beautifully, and both my bridesmaids felt incredible on the day. We had secret singing waiters for the wedding breakfast, which was a complete surprise to everyone – including the groom! They got everyone on their feet singing along, and we even did the Conga. After my original hair and make-up artist caught Covid two days before the wedding, the Balmer Lawn team saved the day and found amazing replacements who had me looking a million dollars in no time!
