It was in Venice which is my favourite city. We’d found a quiet spot that overlooked the city to watch the sunset the first time we visited. He proposed in the exact same spot two years later!
We got married at Alberts in Standish. Our theme was neutrals and we wanted something relaxed, simple and beautiful! Our Border Terrier Pablo was our ring bearer.
I absolutely loved shopping for wedding dresses. We made it into a ‘girls day’ each time! On the day I got my wedding dress I threw a blue themed brunch and asked my sisters and auntie to be my something blue.
I was torn between two styles that I loved. When I found the ‘one’ it was a complete mix of the two and as I walked out of the dressing room, Ed Sheeran – Perfect started playing on the radio which is our wedding song. Our stylist even called it the Ed Sheeran dress by the end of our appointment!
I had a lovely experience at Emma Louise Bridal! We had a glass of champagne while I tried the dresses on and the stylist let me FaceTime my best friend (and Maid of Honour) who was living in Dubai. I got a lovely polaroid when I said ‘Yes to the Dress’ which is proudly displayed in my office.
I loved every moment. My favourite memory has to be my husband, who was very confused why I got him a handkerchief and was adamant he wouldn’t cry when he read out his personal vows!
It was also such a lovely feeling having everyone we loved in the same room all day and night. I changed into a short dress in the evening and had a party entrance which completely changed the vibe and everyone danced the night away!
We had our honeymoon straight after the wedding and went to the South of France and Italy. It was absolutely amazing and kept us in our wedding bubble! We booked a second honeymoon for a couple of months later to snap us out of the post-wedding blues.
Don’t rush it! Take your time with planning and enjoy every minute. Plan lots of little get-to-togethers in the run up to the wedding like bridesmaid brunches and date nights. On the big day take a big look around and try to soak it in as it will absolutely fly by! And finally, the little details you’re worrying about won’t matter. You will be too busy having the best day of your life.
