Wedding Day Snapshot
The Dresses
My wedding day attire consisted of a stunning Charlotte Simpson dress, which I paired with Zimmerman outfits for my bridesmaids I was thoroughly impressed with the bespoke experience provided by Charlotte Simpson, whose unique style harmonized beautifully with mine The regular dress fittings were an exciting highlight, allowing me to catch up with Charlotte every few weeks and see the final product take shape.
The Ceremony
The wedding ceremony took on an intimate tone as our close friend served as the celebrant To make it even more memorable, he had a few tricks up his sleeve – including the ceremonial sabering of a magnum of Prosecco to bless the union As the ceremony drew to a close, the atmosphere was electric with anticipation.
The real showstopper, however, came afterwards when our talented friend Charlie Lee took center stage alongside the jazz band, effortlessly getting the entire guest list on their feet and dancing.
The Music
As the night unfolded, the first dance between the newlyweds was a romantic rendition of ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ by Frank Sinatra What made this moment even more special was that the father of the bride had also taken the time to learn a new skill – taking dance lessons with a professional instructor This allowed him to waltz with his daughter later in the evening, as they swayed to Kate Melua’s ‘Taught Me How to Dance’ A truly unforgettable experience for all who witnessed it.
The Photography
From the onset, our interaction with Stefano resonated positively – and his body of work is truly remarkable We were particularly impressed by his ability to skillfully capture a wide range of emotions throughout the event, all without being intrusive or obvious in his presence.
The Decor & Details
The setting was transformed into a picturesque haven through the thoughtful arrangement of flowers, lanterns, and whimsical fairy lights A mix of verdant olive branches and lush garden roses added a touch of elegance to the atmosphere, creating a serene ambiance that perfectly complemented the overall aesthetic.
The Refreshments
Our culinary vision for the day was inspired by the intimate atmosphere of a dinner party, where every course is savored and celebrated To bring this vision to life, we crafted a menu that featured three exquisite courses, each one a masterclass in flavor and presentation The grand finale was a decadent Italian wedding cake, paired with a refreshing glass of limoncello to round out the meal.
The Honeymoon
After our special day, we had the opportunity to spend some quality time with loved ones in Italy, making memories that will last a lifetime A little later, my partner and I indulged in a belated honeymoon getaway to the stunning Maldives
As I gaze at those breathtaking images of our friends’ Tuscan wedding, I can’t help but feel envious of their perfect day The fact that Emma’s thoughtful gift to Mark – a certified Lord title – is simply remarkable.
And what’s not to love about sabering Prosecco It’s an experience I’d definitely want to have
