Your Sussex Wedding - Feb/Mar 2019 (Issue 77)

The bridesmaids wore full-length navy dresses with lace tops. I was happy to have them in a range of styles, but they all preferred this one. We did try quite a few dresses for them, and it was a fun process. The groomsmen wore grey tails with ivory waistcoats with navy swirls. The groom and his best man, Ashley, had slightly different styles of tail suits, featuring fantastic peacock feather purple and green lining. The jackets even got worn inside out briefly to show this off! The dress didn’t need much accessorising, so I borrowed a simple veil from a bridesmaid and paired it with fantastic blue shoes and earrings to match my engagement ring. These were a present from Sean on the day. I wore a Sincerity dress. I was looking for a simple style that would fit in well in the barn environment. I knew I wanted a lace-top so that I wouldn’t be worrying about losing a strapless dress all day! The barn didn’t need much decoration, so we settled on simple lanterns and festoon lighting.
