SWEET SURPRISE
It was a bauble on the Christmas tree in 2020 that popped the question for Anna… “The bauble had a haribo ring inside it which Mat put on my finger, explaining that he couldn’t get a ring because of lockdown restrictions. He led me to another present which did end up being my ring, a beautiful Tolkowsky diamond.”
ON THE GUEST LIST
With a large group of friends and family, the couple had trouble whittling it down to their 80-day guests and 40 additional evening guests. “We went with our gut and who we wanted to share the moment with. We had no children but our own which we thought might be controversial but the parents actually loved it!”
THE BLUSHING BRIDE
“I was calm getting ready and loved having the time with my bridesmaids,” Anna said, “I felt like a princess in my gown and it fit so well after the alterations. The first thing my daughter said to me in my dress was ‘You look beautiful Mummy’.”
TREASURED MOMENTS
Anna noted a few emotional moments that brought tears to her eyes during the day: her Dad seeing her in her dress, showing her Mum the bouquet charm of her late Nan, Mat’s speech and her daughter’s reading. “I left the reading in her hands and she was amazing!”
ENCORE! ENCORE!
“A standout moment has to be the wedding breakfast as we booked a personal singer who sang a few songs about our relationship. All the guests were up and dancing and asking for an encore and we literally felt the love in the room, everyone made it so special.”
TIMELESS DESIGN
Anna and Mat’s big day had a classic and elegant theme with nude and blush details uniting fragrant florals with stunning bridesmaid dresses. “Although I doubted the colour scheme at times, the colours all blended beautifully on the day.”
AN AEGEAN ESCAPE
“We went on holiday two weeks after the wedding to Mykonos, it was our first holiday in seven years! The trip was really special for us both.”
