We booked a car and bus for the bridesmaids from Prestige Airport Transfers Bridgend. The service was fantastic. With four months to find the perfect dress, I contacted Laura May Bridal in Cardiff and went along with my mum and maid-of-honour. My dress was everything I dreamed of and more. It was an Essense of Australia fitted gown. I never dreamt of wearing a fitted dress after two children, but as soon as they did the dress up, I knew it was the one before looking in the mirror. I took it home with me that same day. I wore the most gorgeous cathedral veil, which my mum had bought for the original wedding. I messaged the bridesmaids and asked them to go on ASOS and send me any colours and styles they liked. We then had a night at my house where they tried them all and chose their favourite, which ended up being the same dress in the same colour! They looked absolutely stunning! Looking back at the photos, I can’t believe how well the dresses matched my gown. It was all meant to be! There were lots of different menu options, and The Great House Hotel and Restaurant were so accommodating with any dietary requirements. The canapés were delicious, and in the guest book, there is a comment which says: ‘the onion bhajis are bangin’. Tom wore a suit from Moss Bros and looked so smart. We decided on bow ties for the men, Tom had a gold version and the groomsmen wore pink ones to match the bridesmaids. We booked Alun Roberts Music to play while the evening guests arrived until our first dance. He was a hit with all the guests. We were extremely lucky with the weather, the sun was shining all day, so I asked if he could play outside. For our first dance, Alun had learnt our song, which was quite a slow acoustic number, however on the night, I asked if he could add a bit of dance into it, and without any hesitation, Alun changed the beat and off we went! Dancing on the lawn with our daughters and being surrounded by our friends and family was the highlight of the day. REAL WEDDINGS 39
