My proposal story

It was in Rome at Villa Borghese on a little wooden rowing boat. It was the boat no one wanted because the number on the boat was 13 but thats always been my lucky number so we took that one out with a bottle of Prosecco.

Wedding style

The style I went for was timeless so the colour scheme was white & gold. All the flowers were white roses, gypsophila & white local flowers.

Shopping experience

The first shop I went to was Emma Louise Bridal and thats where I found my dress.

How did you choose 'The One'?

I had a selection of 6 dresses before I went so they would be out waiting for me and my favourite dress out of the 6 is the one I ended up picking.

Tell us about your experience at Emma Louise Bridal

It was the first and only shop I went to and I was made to feel really comfortable. I enjoyed the whole experience of trying on lots of dresses with a glass of bubbles!

What are your favourite memories from your wedding day?

My favourite memories were the Santorini sunset and everyone up on the dance floor.

If you have a honeymoon planned - where are you going?

When everyone left Santorini, we stayed on for another week at a different hotel in the area we got married and had our honeymoon there.

Do you have any advise for other couples planning their wedding?

Enjoy it, youre hopefully only going to do it once so make the most of it and if youre getting married abroad then use a wedding planner, dont do it all yourself.
