Your Surrey Wedding - Jun/Jul 2019 (Issue 77)

A friend told us about how delicious Sponge’s products were, and after doing some research, we decided to go with them. The company had great gluten-free options, which meant I could cater to all of our friends and families dietary requirements. My second gown was a traditional Chinese design that my grandma had made for me. It was a mermaid heavyweight lace gown that represented my heritage perfectly. We love the outdoors and wanted to incorporate it in our reception room. Ether Events were amazing and really listened to what we wanted. They gave us lots of suggestions and we ended up using a mixture of draping, lights and garlands. Matt chose a navy morning suit with a silver waistcoat and peach cravat from Debenhams. The groomsmen wore the same but with different buttonholes and Murano glass cufflinks that Matt had gifted them. I wore two dresses on my wedding day. The first one had a nearly off-the-shoulder V-neck and was embellished with lace. I altered the neckline to make it look exactly how I imagined. The bridesmaids opted for floor-length blush dresses from ASOS. I had given them a few options and asked everyone to choose their favourite to ensure they felt comfortable. REAL WEDDINGS 41 
