How did you find your perfect dress?

I tried on over 50 dresses and while they were lovely and just knew that they weren’t the ONE. During a trip to Browns Bride I happened to show an assistant the types of dresses I liked and one of the images was the Galia Lahav Rhiannon dress. I couldn’t believe it when Parissa (the assistant) said that they had that dress. She asked if I would like to try it on, I was on my own but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity and said yes. The second I put it on I knew it was my dress. I instantly fell in love with it. It was like nothing I had ever seen. The hand-beading was exquisite and the low cleavage neckline and mermaid cut made my figure look divine and the vintage rose applique was so delicate and reflected my theme and part of our relationship.

I had had a vision of an overskirt with a gown so that it was more traditional and romantic in feel for the ceremony and that could be removed for the evening so I could dance all night. I asked if Galia Lahav had any overskirts and as soon as I tried the overskirt on I was even taken aback at how breathtaking it was together. I knew there and then that I was to be a Galia Lahav bride. I have never felt that something was designed so well and I have never felt so magnificent in a dress before. I absolutely adore it and will treasure it forever.

When I walked down the aisle there were so many wow’s and all my guests genuinely said that they had never seen a dress that was so magnificent.

What moment from your wedding will you never forget?

The song that my father wrote and performed was incredibly special.
Hearing Highland Cathedral on the bagpipes and I stepped foot on the aisle and knowing that getting married was was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The intimacy of the ceremony and all my guests putting their phones to one side and being truly present. Seeing the venue transformed for dinner and the florals looking so beautiful.

The best men’s speeches (we had two) were hilariously brilliant and heartfelt. The secret singers performing during dessert and when they almost took the roof off the venue when they sang Nessun Dorma, the wedding guests doing the conga to The Proclaimers 500 Miles, the room turning into what felt like a festival when Drums N’ Roses started with the bagpipes and drums, our first dance, the DJs playing our favorite music until gone 3 am and the wedding hitting the Casino until 6 am. I always said I’d still be wearing my dress come sunrise or during breakfast and as it happened the wedding was still ongoing at sunrise!
