Luke wore a custom-made suit from King & Allen. It was a lighter grey than the groomsmen’s outfits and had a custom waistcoat that was lined with a red skull motif. He had a gold pocket watch as a wedding gift from me, a matching gold tie clip and cufflinks with our initials on them. We hired a beautiful wooden photo booth for three hours from Outside and Instant Photography. We got some wonderful photos of all our guests, and everyone loved it. I didn’t want the usual tacky accessories, so Outside and Instant Photography made their own wooden signs, including one they gifted to us on the day. We chose dark green floor-length bridesmaids’ dresses. I wore an Essense of Australia gown called D2717 from Aurora Bride. I always knew I wanted a Bardot dress as it suited my shape and balanced my broad shoulders. I looked at various patterns, but wanted something simple and elegant. As the dress was so simple, I didn’t want to over accessorise, so I chose a cathedral-length veil, a hair clip and Paradox London shoes. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we were limited on what we were able to do. As we were one of the first weddings to go ahead, there were still some restrictions, so we decided not to book a band in case of cancellation. We booked Lythe Hill Hotel’s DJ to play songs and get everyone on the dancefloor. REAL WEDDINGS 39
