Made With Love Lola<\/em> Wedding Dress<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Kieran proposed on Christmas Day 2020<\/strong>, it was just the two of us and Rodg (our beautiful rescue dog), in our lounge. It was understated and beautiful<\/strong>; I wouldn\u2019t have had it any other way!<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

An intimate woodland wedding<\/strong>. We are a very relaxed couple so wanted something unique to show our personalities.<\/p>\n

The venue itself was in a stunning setting so we wanted the wedding to flow with that, so lots of greenery<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

We wanted to keep it as cheap as possible without compromising<\/strong> on anything so didn\u2019t have a budget as such.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Weddings in the Wood<\/strong>, Minstead Manor Estate, Lyndhurst.<\/p>\n

The venue is set within the woodlands of the New Forest<\/strong>. It\u2019s quite a blank canvas and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted to it (within reason I\u2019m sure)!<\/p>\n

It has a beautiful barn<\/strong> with stunning oak beams that span the roof and a large wood burner \u2013 our ceremony was in this room. A marquee<\/strong> is attached to the side and back of the barn, where the rustic woodland bar is located, this was the perfect space for the wedding breakfast!<\/p>\n

The lawns surrounding the venue was what made it for us, it provided a spectacular backdrop and the campfire<\/strong> in the trees was a big hit!<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

I walked down the aisle to \u2018Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel<\/strong>\u2019, along with my bridesmaids and two of the groomsmen who were flower boys.<\/p>\n

We then left to \u2018Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay<\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

My dress was from Ava Louise Bridal<\/strong> in Southampton. The designer is Made With Love Bridal<\/strong> and the dress is called Lola.<\/p>\n

I first saw it on Instagram and fell in love instantly<\/strong>. It had to be the first dress I tried on\u2026 low and behold, it was my favourite and nothing quite compared to it!<\/p>\n

Kieran wore a navy tweed with blue overcheck suit from Suit Direct<\/strong>. This was one of many he liked from Suit Direct but decided on this one!<\/p>\n

Your Photographer & Filmmaker<\/h3>\n

Annie Bradney Photography \u2013 one of the best investments from the wedding!<\/p>\n

She has captured some of the most beautiful natural shots<\/strong> of us and our loved ones that we will cherish forever! She had such a laugh with us and our guests, everyone was at ease around her!<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor<\/h3>\n

Decorations<\/strong>: We kept it super simple. I brought 50p vases from IKEA, which I filled with some dried flowers and scattered them around the venue.<\/p>\n

The round tables had natural oak slices on them, with the IKEA vases on top. All of our stationery\/signs were from Papier. We hired an incredible lighting company, called New Forest Event Lighting, which lit the venue beautifully!<\/p>\n

Cake<\/strong>: It was a rustic naked cake which consisted of two tiers. It was made by a family friend of Kieran\u2019s, she also made some beautiful flower decorations out of clay which will last a lifetime!<\/p>\n

Flowers<\/strong>: Rose & Thorns \u2013 Carrie was a family friend of mine, so it was an absolute pleasure to have her do our wedding flowers. We had no idea what we wanted but asked for lots of whites, pinks and greenery \u2013 she created the most beautiful bouquets, buttonholes and tablepiece (for the registrar & top table)!<\/p>\n

The Honeymoon<\/h3>\n

COVID limited us to where we could go, so we had a three-night break away in Oxford<\/strong> with Rodg. It was beautiful and the getaway that we needed. We have big plans to go to Hawaii and Las Vegas<\/strong> next year\u2026if COVID allows.<\/p>\n

Memorable Moments<\/h3>\n

We have so many memorable moments, as the day was absolutely perfect.<\/p>\n

Leaving the ceremony<\/strong>, just us two and having a drink as a newly married couple has to be up there with one of the best moments.<\/p>\n

The second one would have to be when Annie, our photographer, took us away for some evening photos<\/strong> \u2013 looking in and seeing everyone enjoying themselves was such a special moment.<\/p>\n

Advice For Other Couples<\/h3>\n

It is your and your partner’s wedding day; do not let anyone else’s opinions<\/strong> dictate what you do.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the planning<\/strong>, don\u2019t stress about the little things.<\/p>\n

Take in every single second<\/strong> on the day, it flies by quicker than you would ever imagine!<\/p>\n
