Your Kent Wedding - September/October 2022 (Issue 104)

I wore a stunning, beaded, 1920s-style fitted dress. It was nothing like I’d imagined. I thought I’d go for lace with a long train, but when my sister saw this in the window and told me I had to try it on, I knew it was fate. It was the only one left of that style in store and it fit me like a glove. I accessorised with a sparkly belt and a matching hair comb. I also wore a beautiful veil with teardrop crystals. My shoes were elegant and super-comfortable with pearl detailing. The gentlemen’s attire reflected the relaxed nature of our wedding Alex felt more comfortable wearing chinos, shirt, blazer and bow tie rather than a three-piece suit. The groomsmen all wore the same except for the blazer – the groom’s was navy velvet. We were on cloud nine all day. Relieved it was finally happening post Covid and overwhelmed with love and happiness. Our incredible and charismatic vicar Jonny Douglas led our ceremony and had all the guests in stitches. My maid-of-honour and three older bridesmaids wore a beautiful Bardot-style dress featuring an ombre pleated skirt in cornflower blue and white. My middle bridesmaids wore white dresses from Monsoon with a cornflower blue sash, while the flowergirls wore cornflower blue dresses with a white sash. They all looked truly beautiful. 40
