We chose Euridge Manor, because we had never seen a venue quite so beautiful in the UK before.

My long hair was pulled back into a modern ponytail by Abigail Constanza, worn with a gorgeous tiara from Untamed Petals.

Makeup was fresh and pretty, applied by Sophie Wylie Makeup Artist, and the final touches were Pandora earrings and my favourite Chloé fragrance.

I wore the most exquisite, feminine gown featuring a long, full train, an open back and a long-sleeved, sheer sparkling bodice.

It was a unique collaboration between myself and designer Hayley Paige.

“My dress experience was fairly unique given that I work in the industry. I was in a bit of a pickle as I have seen so many gorgeous gowns over the years and tried so many on for work.”

“When it came to the dress, I knew it had to be Hayley Paige as I love the magical feminine vibes her gowns give off.”

“Because of my role in the industry, I’m lucky enough to have met Hayley a few times and from those meetings form a friendship.”

“When I visited her in New York for the release of her latest collection she asked if I had any thoughts on my gown.”

“I had recently borrowed one of her exclusive red carpet gowns for our engagement shoot, which White Stag Weddings also photographed.”

“It was then that she offered to work together with me on designing my dream dress. It really was a dream come true!”

“A few days later I went to her showroom on 7th Avenue where we talked dresses. I had time to really think what I wanted and knew this was a once in a life time opportunity that I didn’t want to waste.”

I gave her my main brief of sleeves, A-line, sparkle with iridescent beadwork and left the rest up to her.”

“She is a world famous bridal designer after all, who I trust completely. It wasn’t until my dress arrived that I saw it for the first time but I knew the quality of work would be exceptional.”
