A Sophisticated Wirral Wedding — Sea, Sand and Style

The wed­ding was sub­mit­ted by Vick­er­staff Pho­tog­ra­phy — Chester wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers and my newest friends and blog spon­sors. Becky has shared details of her wed­ding day so I will leave you to admire the images and enjoy the story of Becky and Guy’s sea­side wedding.

Sophis­ti­cated sea­side wed­ding — Becky and Guy

The wed­ding day as it happened

I arrived at the venue in a horse and car­riage, it was a very mem­o­rable moment and such a lovely way to start the day and take in all the scenery. We had a civil cer­e­mony. We had pic­tures taken on the shore which was a lot of fun. We set off lanterns which is a good idea to do after the meal, so peo­ple don’t get bored wait­ing for the evening to start. After the first dance we just danced all night — it was great fun.

The wed­ding dress

I wore a one shoul­der dress, slim fit­ting to the hips then down to the floor. It was a gor­geous dress and I had lots of com­pli­ments about how dif­fer­ent it was. I got the dress from Tina Louise in Heswall www.bridesbytinalouise.co.uk

I wore black pearl ear­rings and bracelet, a full length veil and pearl and dia­mante clus­tered tiara. My shoes were low heel ivory shoes with dia­mante fastenings.

Guy wore an Atcham gray 3 piece tail suit with a berry coloured pocket hand­ker­chief and cra­vat, all from Cain of Heswall www.cainofheswall.co.uk

Mem­o­rable wed­ding day moments

Get­ting ready with the girls in the morn­ing and receiv­ing a gift with a let­ter from my fiancé. The horse and car­riage, it was a lovely way to arrive and gave me and my dad time together. The fun we had tak­ing the wed­ding pho­tos on the shore, with our ush­ers and brides­maids, every­one had a laugh. The speeches, lovely words were said and every­one com­mented how good they were.

Becky’s wed­ding day advice

Take a moment for you and your part­ner to sit down and have a drink/chat together on your own. Don’t rush things and take every­thing in — the day goes so fast.
