TIME TO CELEBRATE All assembled were entertained by a DJ in the evening and the bride was on the dancefloor all night! She’d been worried in the lead up that they might not be able to have dancing due to Covid restrictions so was understandably elated when the rules were eased. There was also a white bouncy castle, which the children loved, but was an even bigger hit with the adults after a few glasses of bubbly! A sparkle station stocked with hair and face glitter, light-up flower crowns and glow sticks made for a the most glammed-up guests you’re likely to find, not to mention a super-fun dancefloor. What’s more, the photo booth added to the festivities and the couple loved the fact that they got a copy of each photo in a guest book to keep. MEMORABLE MOMENTS Leanne shares: “Since the wedding was postponed from the year before due to the pandemic, I was incredibly stressed in the run up, fearful that it would be cancelled again. David was much more chilled though, and had faith it would happen this time. When the big day finally arrvied I was so relieved and just tried to take in every moment, but when the make-up artist and hair stylist arrived I felt overcome with nerves and emotions. “We’d planned an outdoor ceremony in the Italian gardens, but it began to rain about an hour before. Neither of us cared though, we just wanted to get married. The big doors opening to the ceremony room and seeing David standing at the end of the aisle is a memory I’ll never forget – it was magical. Everyone else in the room seemed to fade away and all I could see was him. The day went by in a blur. Everyone says is goes so fast, but you don’t realise how true that is. Each and every supplier, every family member, every friend, our bridesmaids, our best men, our children and our wonderful parents all added to the most perfect day.” THE BRIDE’S WORDS OF WISDOM “My top tip is to search for suppliers local to the venue. Also, find a photographer whose photos you fall in love with, someone you feel comfortable around, and can laugh and joke with. The photos are all you have in years to come and you’re so busy on the day, you miss parts. A fantastic photographer will capture all those moments for you.” REAL WEDDING 41
