Your London Wedding - Page number 32 - September/October 2021 (Issue 79)

I’d like to mention the beautiful embroidery that featured on the bow of my dress that was custom done by Nick’s mum. She is a fantastic sewer and altered the length of my dress and added these beautiful touches of our initials and the date of our wedding day to make it completely unique. I cried when I saw it! It was so lovely. I wore a custom-made veil and hairvine m ade by Gillion Million which featured pearls that were th e same as the bodice of the dress. I purchased my dress from Gillian Million in Teddington, London. I wore Ruby by Anna Campbell. Gillian’s boutique is incredible because every dress is completely unique and all styles and sizes are covered. I definitely wanted to be wearing something that would be in keeping with the style of Wilton’s – not too flashy but beautiful and understated. I wanted to feel feminine but also dance all night and not be restricted in any way! I definitely felt all these things in this dress. From our very first tasting to post-wedding pick up arrangements, Lizzie of Boulevard Events was professional and incredibly helpful. The food was high quality and they accommodated little changes we wanted to make with ease. All planning for the food, drink and furniture was really simple and we were really impressed. Nick is a coffee snob and worked with the lovely people at Origin Coffee to provide coffee on the day.They were great and very accommodating for what was the first wedding they’d provided coffee for! We chose to have beers by breweries that are favourites of ours and also local to where we lived or grew up. Myself, the bridesmaids and my dad arrived in a new white electric London taxi, which was provided by London Corporate Cabs. 32
