His tie too was chosen to complement the wedding flowers. His groomsmen meanwhile hired their dark navy suits from Moss. Originally, Anna had her heart set on dusky pink for her bride tribe as she thought the colour would work with the flowers, but they found a wrap around dark navy blue dress in Phase Eight and as soon as her sister tried it on they knew it was perfect. “I quickly realised the flowers would pop against this colour, and I’m so glad we went for a dark dress as the girls felt a lot more confident,” Anna tells us. “Find suppliers you trust, this made our planning so much fun.” CELEBRATE IN STYLE The couple surprised their guests by having a brass band emerge from the ruins just after the ceremony. They played Celebrate as they walked back up the aisle had enjoyed the confetti throw. They then led all assembled through the Abbey ruins and played during the reception drinks. As neither Anna nor Chris are big prosecco fans, they instead chose to serve some lovely summer flavours with bramble gin and Pimms. When it was time to move to the marquee for the wedding breakfast, the band again lead the way. Everyone loved them as they created a wonderfully happy atmosphere bursting with excitement. A photo booth was a huge hit later on and captured some hilarious moments, especially as the evening wore on! “Our first dance with confetti canons before guests joined us on the dancefloor was such a magical moment,” Anna says. Marc and Abi Band took over in the evening well and truly getting the dancefloor going. 33 REAL WEDDINGS
