Tell us more about your vibe or theme of your day

Black and white theme, all white flowers, classic, elegant and simple. The vibe went from romantic to PARTY with entertainment, fireworks, love heart glasses, confetti cannons - everything we wanted!

Tell us about the wedding dress!

Elysee Etoile - Adriana - tight, lacey, long train, custom made long laced sleeves with a knuckle length cuff - absolutely perfect!

How did you know it was the 'one'?

Being so tiny it was difficult to see the actual look of the dress but I knew when my mum cried it was the one. I wanted lace and some sexyness to it, so I knew it was perfect and was even happier when I got to try on my own!

Any special memory from your EK appointment you'd love to share?

My first dress fitting appointment, when I saw my dress hanging there for the first time and cried. I was so worried I had forgot what it looked like and was very happy that it was exactly what I wanted.

What was your favourite moment on your wedding day?

Walking down the aisle and everyone seeing me for the first time and also seeing James, it was the best feeling ever. He looked so handsome and you could feel the energy in the room - it was amazing! We had a family member host our ceremony which was very special for us.

What advice would you like to brides planning now?

Things will go wrong on the day - it always does. Even small tiny things, but don't let them ruin the overall day. Enjoy every single moment!

Anything else you'd love future EK brides to know?

How AMAZING Kim & Holly are - they really did create the perfect dress for me. Everyone complemented how it looked and the fit was just how I wanted it. You both create such a loving and relaxing environment, you can tell you both love what you do and it was such a lovely experience for me.
