I fell in love with the huge bow on my dress. As soon as I tried it on, I felt like myself and the team at Exclusive Alterations in Angel made the sleeves for me whilst making the alterations. The groomsmen wore beige linen blazers from M&S, their own black chinos and loafers and the same linen tie as Freddie from Moss Bros. We both work in Islington, so we always knew we wanted Islington Town Hall for the ceremony. Our table plan and menus were designed around the playing card theme. Freddie and I have matching King and Queen of Hearts tattoos, so this started a theme for the day. One of my best friends designed our invites for us – a playing card, with illustrations of Freddie and I included. I used the template throughout our styling. We knew pretty quickly that The Depot was perfect for us – it was big enough for all of our guests, catering and drinks were in-house and the staff were so friendly and easy to work with. As the wedding was in August, Freddie wanted something light in colour. He wore a doublebreasted seersucker suit in a pale pink/beige colour that looked really cool. He accessorised with a plain pair of white leather trainers that suited our laid-back vibe. Our bridesmaids each wore midi, satin dress in a shade of lilac. I wanted them all to be comfortable and knew we’d struggle to settle on the same dress for all of them, so I was happy for them to pick. 46
