“He proposed at Camber Sands beach during a weekend away. We were engaged for 18 months. We’re best friends and I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else. He brings out the best in me and supports me to be me.”

“My wedding dress was the second wedding dress I tried on. I thought I wanted something simple, but as soon as I tried it on (along with a veil!) I knew I wanted something more dramatic. I tried on a fair few more dresses but kept on coming back to it. The Bridal Emporium were amazing at helping me choose the beading, colours and alterations so it felt like it fitted perfectly on the day.”

“We wanted it to really feel like ‘us’ so quite informal where all our friends and family could relax and let their hair down. We tried to keep things simple and focus on how we could spend the most time with the people we love and what would help them to have a great time.”

“For my wedding table decoration Jo from Clock Dandelion gave amazing advice. We wanted to keep it simple whilst also adding color with the flowers in milk bottles and warmth with the tea lights.”
