From friends to newlyweds

Mariam opted for a classic elegant look. "I found 'the one' at Fairytale London in Fulham. I wanted a bit of bling though, so I customised it with pearls and diamante detailing on the waist, cuffs and neckline," she says. She wore her hair in lose curls and accessorised with a tiered veil and crystal tiara to complement her dress.

Charlie and his groomsmen wore traditional morning suits with grey waistcoats and pink ties and their bridesmaids wore pale pink floor-length dresses in various styles, so all of the attire came together perfectly.

Their day was brimming with blooms! Mariam's bouquet was created with roses in various shades of pink and finished with pink gypsophila and the bridesmaid handtied posies were similar in style with green foliage.

In the ceremony room, similar flowers were tied to the aisle chairs, a beautiful tabletop arrangement was placed at the alter and a stunning blush flower wall created a backdrop for their vows.

"With it being a summer wedding, we wanted bright flowers and we chose a mix of fresh and artificial to keep them going strong throughout the day," says Mariam.

The aisle was also lined with matching petals and a range of pillar candles to create a romantic ambience.

In the reception room, a mixture of high and low floral centrepieces matching the bouquets and ceremony styling, were placed on the tables, surrounded by blush petals and pink napkins finished the look perfectly.

The flower wall from the ceremony room framed the top table and the tabletop arrangement was placed in amongst smaller vases of flowers to create a focal point where Mariam and Charlie were seated.

Throughout the service, a harpist played romantic background music and into the evening, guests filled the dancefloor with a DJ playing until late.

"Our first dance was just perfect," says Mariam. "My top tip to all brides is to always give yourself more time than you need.

We had very little time to relax or be together until we got to the disco in the evening and it's so important to soak it all up together."

For their honeymoon, the duo went to Singapore for three days and then onto the Maldives for a week.

"It was very much needed after the stress of planning our wedding.

The whole trip was amazing, and we loved having that time out together as husband and wife."

"During the evening we had the most amazing performers who I found on Instagram.

They sung our first dance song and then party music for two hours. I didn't want anything cheesy, and they were fabulous," Rebecca recalls.

The day was captured on camera by Heather Sham Photography. "Heather was brilliant.

Even in the rain taking our couple photos we laughed so much, she just slotted into the day without feeling too intrusive," says Rebecca.
