Your West Midlands Wedding- Page number 31 - August/September 2021 (Issue 75)

Jenkinsons Caterers provided brie and mango parcels to start, a pork duo with sweet potato dauphinoise and vegetables for the main, and white chocolate and raspberry liquor cheesecake to finish. Rupert chose a three-piece blue suit with brown leather shoes and a burgundy tie from Milano Couture. The bridesmaids opted for mismatched styles and colours from David’s Bridal. I wanted to make sure they all felt comfortable, so I let them choose the dresses they wanted. Since it was a COVID-19 wedding, we needed to keep the entertainment as outdoor-friendly as possible. Coton House Farm Weddings & Events has a lovely courtyard outside where guests had drinks and canapés and enjoyed the weather. We also set up a selection of outdoor games handmade by my dad. In the run-up to the wedding, we were both anxious and nervous, but when the day came, we were incredibly calm. Getting married just felt so natural, and we had the perfect day. I wore a dress called Elysee by Wendy Makin. The dress needed to be lightweight so that I could run and dance in it and have a touch of nature. After trying on many gowns, I fell in love with it at Yes Bridal Studio. I accessorised with a floor-length veil and dried flower crown from Magaela. 31 REAL WEDDINGS
