Your Kent Wedding - Jul/Aug 2019 (Issue 85)

The first thing that attracted us to Sprivers Mansion was the beautiful wisteria-fronted house that greets you as you pull into the gravel driveway. We also loved the fact that they offer access from Thursday to Sunday, taking a lot of the pressure away from setup and allowing us to make the most of the experience. The four bridesmaids wore matching dusty pink, full-length dresses made from a super- comfortable fabric that flattered them all. I wore a customised strapless Morilee ball gown. I worked with a seamstress, who did an amazing job of adding off-the-shoulder beaded sleeves. They changed the entire look of the dress, making it exactly how I’d imagined. Plus, they were detachable, giving me the freedom to throw some shapes on the dancefloor once the evening came! Our favours were mini bottles of Chambord with personalised tags. They matched our palette perfectly and were a great touch to add to the table settings. James and the groomsmen were dressed in matching navy suits and grey waistcoats with crisp white shirts. They accessorised with knitted burgundy ties and blush-hued buttonholes, except the groom, who wore a bow tie with a burgundy flower. 46
