‘I knew I always wanted to have it because it fit so well with the neutral, romantic, candlelit theme of the wedding. I thought it was very nice to have us all equal.
“Groomsmen always wear the same suit as the groom, so I thought, ‘Why shouldn’t bridesmaids wear the same color?'”
“My bridesmaids were like, ‘Are you sure? We don’t want to take attention away from you.’ I said ‘no, you’re a big part of the day.’ The attention should be on you too.’ It was really nice for them to get the attention they deserved.
“We had a lot of surprised people. But all the guests were family and close friends, so they knew I was the bride.

‘I was hoping Kirsty would try something out of the ordinary. She has a very good eye for style. I loved her from the first moment.
‘It felt amazing. I got married in December of last year, so the dress I wore to my wedding probably wasn’t much more than a bridesmaid dress.
