Your South Wales Wedding - Sep/Oct 2019 (Issue 69)

Andrew and the groomsmen chose navy suits, checked waistcoats and ivory ties from Formal Hire. My dress was a Sottero and Midgley design from Sentiments Bridal. Much to my surprise, I fell in love with a strapless princess gown with a sweetheart neckline. I accompanied it with a gorgeous lace Bardot jacket that made me feel less self-conscious about the revealing neckline. I accessorised with a John-Richard tiara, Ted Baker heels and a Pandora bracelet. We decorated the bottom of the staircase with flowers shaped like hearts. My bridesmaids wore mauve dresses designed by Jolie Moi from Debenhams. We loved the all-over lace and knee-length boned bodice that complemented their silver block heels perfectly. As it was warm, we sat outside and had a few pictures taken. Thanks to the sun, our videographer, Posh Bear, was able to capture some great shots using drones. We hired local singer Tom Auton to perform during the reception drinks. REAL WEDDINGS 51 
