My dress was called Elevated Belle by Allure Bridals in the Disney Collection at Ava May Bridal. I chose to add Tinkerbelle-style straps in the same material and a tiara and veil to complete the look. I felt like a Disney princess every time I wore the dress, and Ava May Bridal was fantastic in helping with my vision. I accessorised with heart earrings from Ed and a Disney charm from my mum. It was lovely using the wedding garden at The Fairlawns Hotel & Spa. The children especially enjoyed the wooden seesaws, which kept them occupied while the photos were being taken. The Fairlawns Hotel & Spa provided the DJ for the evening reception, and we arranged for Booth Factor to set up a magic mirror photo booth for a few hours. It was a hit with our guests and meant we have a great selection of highly amusing photos. We were both excited and nervous for 2pm to come around. The bridal prep suite was busy with hair and make-up while the groomsmen were a little more serine. It’s true that the day just flies by. Ed wore a navy-blue suit with a matching tie from Tuxedo Junction. His waistcoat complemented his suit which was made from his favourite Star Wars fabric by Sam at Ava May Bridal. He accessorised with Star Wars cufflinks and a watch. The groomsmen wore the same suit with plain waistcoats and different cufflinks. My four bridesmaids chose flutter sleeve gowns from David’s Bridal. They accessorised with their own jewellery, silver shoes and matching hair clips. We added simple diamante belts to the waists and a more elaborate belt to the maid-of-honour’s dress. REAL WEDDINGS 25
