The wedding breakfast was supplied by the venue and the couple opted for soup and anti pasti for starter, followed by a main course of chicken, beef or vegetarian ravioli. The delicious meal was finished with chocolate brownie or cheesecake. LOOKING THE PART Chloe’s stunning dress was a low-cut, A-line silhouette, with a champagne undertone and ivory overlay. Lace flowed down the skirt and train, and a button had been added allowing her to bustle it up in the evening, ensuring she could be dancefloor ready. “Kiss The Bride was the second shop I’d been to. I explained my taste to the consultant and told her exactly what I was looking for, and this was the first dress she put me in. All of my guests commented on how amazing and different my gown was,” Chloe remembers. Jamie wore a grey three-piece suit with a blue, paisley tie and his groomsmen were dressed to match. Chloe’s bridesmaids were dressed in dusky blue floor-length dresses, while the maid-of-honour wore a different style allowing her to stand out. Hers was draped at the top with a sparkly belt, whereas the other ladies wore an off-the-shoulder silhouette. CELEBRATE IN STYLE “We decided to go with a photo booth for the evening, which was a huge hit, with many using it multiple times,” Chloe says. “The DJ also took our recommendations into consideration when asking what type of music we like and was able to create a fantastic atmosphere on the dancefloor.” MEMORABLE MOMENTS Chloe felt extremely happy and excited as she was getting ready. “After all, this was a day I’d been picturing since I was four-years-old with a pillowcase over my hair,” she says. Jamie started getting nervous the day before, once they’d said their goodbyes and dropped everything off at the venue. So, by the time the ceremony arrived the nerves caused him to make a few mistakes during the vows. He had to repeat them for legal reasons, but all was well and no doubt he felt better with Chloe by his side. For Chloe, the couple portraits were a true highlight. “Not once were we staged and we had time to enjoy each other’s company while laughing about how nervous we were,” she remembers. “All of our suppliers were fantastic, but Noteworthy Photography was amazing. We felt so relaxed the entire day. Our only regret is that we didn’t book them for the evening reception, as it would have been funny to see the drunk photos! My hair and make-up lady, Chloe, was also wonderful. Never have I felt so beautiful and I’ll always be grateful for that.” THE GETAWAY The newlyweds set off on their Lincoln mini-moon straight after the wedding and a couple of months later went on their main honeymoon in the U.S, spending two nights in New York, four in Las Vegas and seven in Florida. “We booked the bulk of the trip via Virgin Holidays and simply booked the internal flights ourselves. It was by far and away the best holiday we’ve had,” Chloe concludes. REAL WEDDINGS 31
