You & Your Wedding: Love Island

Elegant styling and beautiful blooms made Nancy and Lee’s Garden Party one to remember.

For Nancy and Lee, a potential disaster ultimately led to them having the day of their dreams. “Six month the wedding, our original venue cancelled on us,” explains Nancy. Running out of time and inspiration the couple turned to wedding planner Colette Bloom, who came up with Island Hall in Godmanchester, a riverside mansion complete with ornamental island. After the ceremony in a local church, guest were greeted with prosecco in Island Hall’s immaculate gardens, before everyone was guided across the picturesque Chinese bridge to the river island. “The stunning marquee was waiting behind the tress” says Nancy. “The Island felt like a secret garden, it was so magical”.

Pink and white paper globes and glowing lanterns covered the venue, echoing the soft, pretty tones in Nancy’s classic lace and tulle Pronovias dress, which she paired with rosey-hued peep-toe slingbacks. “I never thought I’d fall in love with a traditional gown but, on reflection, my everyday dress style is classic and tailored, so it was actually very fitting,” she says. “I went for a cathedral veil that match the lace in my dress because I loved the veils intricate details, and the overall effect was so elegant.” Pearl and diamond earrings finished the look, with a bouquet of hydrangeas, peonies and roses in shades of prink and cream. The bridesmaids wore bespoke dresses in a floral liberty print. “The garden theme kept the day elegant but relaxed” says Nancy, whose cute details included a taxi transformed into a photo booth, with resulting pictures providing the favours. “Grace and Christopher were very focused on the practical side of things, which was great because it allowed us to concentrate on the fun!!”
