I knew I wanted a dress which I could somehow make my own, I had tried on a few dresses previously, which were beautiful, but I never felt that they reflected me. So when my friend Mimi sent me a picture of a HDEP dress on Instagram, I knew I would wear one of her dresses. I went with my mum and sister to the studio and tried on 3 or 4 stunning dresses until I found the one, where the embroidery was at a slightly bigger scale than the others. I knew from the moment I tried the sample on that that would be my wedding dress.

Lucy’s brother Tom played a significant role in the wedding, he walked Tommy’s mum and Lucy’s mum down the aisle, painted the leaves on the wedding cake and created the playlist of songs which played out during the dinner.Different elements from the garden were incorporated into the wedding scheme, the bright stars which can be seen from the garden were picked out in Lucy’s veil, along with the star shaped confetti thrown when they said their vows. The first dance depicted this too, with the words ‘when the night has come and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we’ll see’. The whole idea was to have everything under moonlight, beneath the stars ‘in our garden by the sea’, with particular areas being highlighted with strings of lights. Did you have live music?
