Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - Feb/Mar 2019 (Issue 69)

We had acoustic music outside while we enjoyed the sunshine, followed by a fantastic live band called The IOUs. We didn’t need lots of added extras – just free-flowing drinks and all our friends and family in one place. The food was great. We kept an informal feel, with breads, cheeses, salad, cold meats and roast potatoes on each table for our loved ones to tuck into. In the evening, we dined on pizza from the venue’s outdoor oven. Our bridesmaid was our niece, Lily. She looked wonderful in a light grey gown from AbideMaids. The men all looked dashing in navy French Connection suits, grey waistcoats and paisley ties for a pop of colour. I wanted a simple dress with just a touch of detail. I went to Kate Walker Bridal, and she made my gown from scratch. REAL WEDDINGS 49 
