Your North West Wedding- August/September 2020 (Issue 63)

REAL WEDDINGS 37 DRESSED TO IMPRESS Charlotte wore a Stella York gown called Mia from Emma Louise Bridal. “It was everything I’d ever dreamed of,” says Charlotte. “I accessorised with a hairpiece, veil, tear-drop earrings and a necklace that Jack gave me as a gift.” Jack chose a blue three-piece suit from SG Menswear. “He finished the look with a burgundy dickie bow and dark brown shoes,” explains the bride. “The groomsmen wore the same but with different buttonholes.” “The bridesmaids opted for floor-length burgundy dresses from Next,” shares Charlotte. “They were multi-way so the girls could wear them however they wanted.” TIME TO CELEBRATE “At the wedding breakfast, we had Maxine Molin Harpist play, which was a nice touch,” shares Charlotte. “As a surprise for Jack, I booked Jason Rea Magic. He was fantastic, everyone commented on how great he was, and he entertained our guests into the evening.” MEMORABLE MOMENTS “On the morning of the wedding, Jack was nervous, especially waiting for me to walk down the aisle,” Charlotte shares. “It was a happy but emotional day. We enjoyed every minute and couldn’t believe how lucky we were to have a blue sky in October! My favourite memory was when we saw each other at the end of the aisle. We also got to spend some time together outside the church while we had our photos taken.” The couple’s nearest and dearest made their nuptials perfect. “Jack’s grandad and nephew did impromptu speeches that were lovely,” adds the bride. “Our wedding coordinator, David, made every effort to make sure everything ran smoothly. Creative Camera Photography brought sparklers for us to use when it started to get dark. Not only did this create amazing shots for our videos and pictures, but it was one of our favourite memories of the day.” HONEYMOON “We went to Florida for 11 nights,” reveals Charlotte. “I’m a big Disney fan, and Jack loves roller coasters, so it was the perfect place for us. Each day was jam-packed, and we made so many amazing memories. We flew with Virgin Atlantic, and were greeted with a glass of prosecco which made us feel emotional at the thought of finally being married!” 
