the decorations and accessories,
the sofas, the lighting, and even
the flowers planted in the grounds

We chose a black tie dress code
for the day, and I wore a beautiful
strapless dress by Pronovias. It
wasn’t at all what I expected to
choose (and did have some worries
before the day that it was too big),
but when I put it on with my hair
and make-up done on the day, I
knew I’d made the right choice.
In fact, everything just fell
together perfectly on the day, and
all the hard work, planning and
organising over the previous 18
months really paid off. I loved being
able to enjoy the day and not worry
about anything. All our guests had
a wonderful time and were really
looked after, and the sun even came
out following five days of torrential
rain – we were both thrilled!
