Natasha and Luke met 10 years ago through a mutual friend. “Our relationship blossomed, and Luke proposed to me on Christmas Day in 2012,” says Natasha. “I had no idea he was going to pop the question, and shortly after, we found out we were expecting our first child.”

Here the bride shares some of her favourite moments from their big day...

We loved everything about Warwick House. Its sleek and modern look was perfect, and we loved that we had the entire venue exclusively for us and our guests were able to stay over. It was also wonderful that we had the option of being able to have our ceremony outside in their beautiful garden. The team made our day so perfect. In a time of restrictions we were worried we wouldn’t have the day we dreamed of, but it exceeded our expectations. Weddings by KathyB created our stationery using ice white glitter, pink ribbons and crystal embellishments.

Luke and I gave Sarah at SugarCraft Studio Cakes all the details of our wedding, and she designed a cake that matched our theme perfectly.

I made our flower arrangements and centrepieces. It was lovely that the bridesmaids and I were able to keep our bouquets as a keepsake.

For the décor, we chose blush pink chair sashes, and Warwick House provided some beautiful flowers to dress the stairs with.

I fell in love with an Essense of Australia dress called D2835 from Georgina Scott Bridal. It had so many beautiful elements and looked stunning from every angle. The detail on the neckline, the low back with bright sparkly lace detail and the train were exactly what I wanted. Luke and the groomsmen chose black tuxedos from Next with grey waistcoats. Luke opted for braces and a different lining on the inside of his jacket to help him stand out.

The bridesmaids wore blush pink sequin dresses from ASOS. On the morning of the wedding, we had By Ruth and her make-up team get us ready and they were fantastic. It was so lovely to have them there and be part of our morning. It was such an uncertain time. We’d already postponed our wedding once, and I was so worried even the day before that something would happen and stop us from going ahead. On the day, we couldn’t really believe it was finally happening and just loved every moment. We had to cut our numbers from 100 to just 30, but it ended up being intimate and amazing celebrating with family after such a long period of restrictions. Having a small wedding really gave us time to absorb and enjoy every second of the day.
