If you like your weddings, elegant, pink, totally romantic and with just a hint of sparkle, then you will adore today’s wedding blessing.
Beautiful bride Hannah wore a figure hugging, fishtail Mori Lee wedding gown with a show-stopping low lace back. She coordinated her bridal look with an incredible pair of gold sparkle-heeled wedding shoes and the most feminine and pretty pink flower bouquet you ever did see!

After visiting two bridal shops I was still unsure of the dress I wanted. I saw the Mori Lee dress online and fell in love with the lace detail, deep back, and fitted fishtail style. I found a local stockist so tried it on and loved it more in person.
I always wanted our day to be uncomplicated and quite fresh and fun. We’re both relaxed and cared most about the day feeling natural and flowing.
My memorable moments of the day were taking selfies with my dad while travelling in the car, walking down the aisle and seeing Carl standing at the end waiting for me. I instantly felt so relaxed. We walked down the aisle to Canon in D Pachelbel by Per-Olov Kindgren and we walked out to Green Garden by Laura Mvula.
I found our wedding photographer Kathryn’s images on Instagram and loved the romantic way she captured weddings. The light and style was always so pretty and had a natural feel. I was delighted that she was available on our wedding date and met with her in person. She had such an interest in our plans and was always available to discuss and offer advice. We could not have asked for a more professional, warm and friendly photographer to share our day with.
We had a marquee attached to the venue to create a separate space for the blessing. As the venue is a golf club, we wanted to hide the winners cup boards, so used starlight curtains to dress the venue. I wanted it quite neutral and soft and the subtle lighting came alive in the evening.
The most important thing for us was having everyone there to celebrate with us, so we wanted a venue that was local. Ballards Gore ticked the boxes as we hadn’t been to a wedding there before, it’s only 15 minutes away by car but it’s so open and green it feels like you are in the countryside.
