reallife weddings

While Ben was happy most of the time to go along with whatever Brianna said she liked, he was not too fussed on some of the smaller details. Funnily enough, it’s often those little details which can sometimes make all the difference, whether to the overall atmosphere of the wedding or to the couple themselves. The place cards, menus and signage that Ben wasn’t too keen on to begin with, ended up being incredibly special to him as they used his late grandfather’s business cards to make the place cards.

“It was so special to feel like he was a part of our day” says Brianna, who also attached to her bouquet, brooches from both sides of her family, one of which was worn by her mother on her wedding day. Leading up to their wedding they had their hens and bucks weekends with their bridal parties, closest friends and cousins, and Brianna also had a bridal shower the week before the wedding. And then their special day finally arrived! The weather had been fine all week leading up to the day, but became overcast and started to lightly rain, just before and during their ceremony. However, it was during their pre-reception photos that it really started to bucket down!

“We braved it for the stunning photos and video we now have” Brianna recalls, adding that the rain added a winter wedding feel to the day.
