If you're considering wearing a shorter wedding dress on your big day, then I hope that you simply love the bride's selection of gowns and divine plum shoes. On 31 May 2018, Otterburn, Northumberland played host to the wedding of, a person service representative and, a software engineer, who've been together since their teenage life. Abbie and Tom planned your day themselves, creating a lot from the styling elements themselves.

The couple met in 2010 coupled with a three-and-a-half-year engagement, providing them with plenty of time for you to plan their day.

"We met this year, I was 17 and Tom was 16. Tom got my telephone number from his friend who I knew at college and texted me to express hi. Unsurprisingly, I was confused at getting a text from a mystery number and taken care of immediately asked who it had been. After discovering Tom's name, I looked at him on Facebook and thought he was cute. We spent the entire summer texting and becoming to know one another and finally met up in September 2010 when Tom started studying in the same college."

"In 2011 I went off towards the University of Sunderland to review and as Tom still was built with a year of school left, we chose to stay together long-distance, and remarkably it worked. In 2012 Tom decided he wanted to review in Sunderland too, so moved right into a student house beside me and some of my close friends from uni. On Christmas day in 2014, Tom proposed; it had been our first Christmas spent together, only the two of us, and it had been perfect. We officially started planning the marriage around November 2015 whenever we both had started graduate jobs and may afford to begin saving."

Abbie decided on a charming tea-length gown having a lacy bodice, purchased in Newcastle. It looks oh-so-elegant within the warm May sunshine; I love the way it has such movement as she walks, and showcases her bold shoes. Here

"After fitting a tea-length dress I knew it was the style I needed, I was comfortable and felt much like me. I also loved the fact it had an illusion neckline to hide any redness on my small chest which I sometimes get when I'm hot/flustered/anxious. I was so concerned about this being within the photos, however, the illusion neckline put me at complete ease!"

The bridesmaids wore several purple bridesmaid dresses. They added fresh gypsophila to their hair and wore a necklace and earrings, gifts from Abbie.

"One part of your day that stuck beside me was just before the ceremony when my father came to meet us before the registrar arrived – the 'first look' so to express. My dad isn't a difficult person and I think I've only seen him cry once during my life, but the moment he saw me he welled up, explained I looked beautiful and provided the biggest hug. It was the sweetest thing!"

Back within the Chateau, dinner was served up within the stylish, glass-walled ballroom which overlooks its Mediterranean gardens. The food was provided through the Chateau's chefs, and served on tables carefully styled by Abbie with lace table runners and silver charger plates, carried out with homemade favors and personalized place cards.

"We think our favorite part was the marriage breakfast. We chose to possess a sweetheart table so that people could just spend that point together, and that we went around between courses to chat using the guests. Sitting together just referring to being married was the very best, and we loved that people got to go round and talk with everyone, seeing everyone so happy. We had personalized Polaroid place cards for every guest and everyone talked about them – these were a huge hit. We got these printed by and these were great quality."

Words of Wedded Wisdom

“I didn't experience any social anxiety on your day – perhaps my adrenaline or even the happiness of your day took over however it truly was the very best day ever. This might not be true for each bride, if you need to take yourself away somewhere to process everything, get it done! Also, allow yourself to feel all the love that's coming to the right path because there is going to be tonnes!"
