Photography by : Helen England Photography
THE VENUE We came across Salomons Estate online when searching for venues in Kent and instantly fell in love with it . The name is also very close to my late grandad ’ s name so I felt an instant connection to it .
The grounds were stunning for photographs and we loved having the option to have different parts of our day in different rooms . We were also drawn to the bespoke nature of their approach to weddings without restrictive minimum numbers dictating the layout of our day .
THE OUTFITS I bought my dress from Sapphire Bridal on Fonthill Road in London . As soon as I put it on I knew it was ‘ the one ’; it fit my figure perfectly and hugged all the right places . The groom and his best man visited Cheeks in Bexley to choose their suits and we chose pale pink ties to compliment the bridesmaids ’ dresses , which were rose gold floor length dresses .
THE DÉCOR Inspired by a wedding mood board from Pinterest , for our décor we went for pale pink , gold , ivory and burgundy , with floral arrangements from The Floral Workshop which included lots of pink , red and white roses with gypsophila .
THE ENTERTAINMENT For our evening entertainment we had a Turkish drum and flute entrance , followed by a set by Bizim DJ who we chose because he ’ s well-known in the Turkish wedding community for being skilled at mixing different genres of music with a balance of Turkish music . We had dancers in the evening too - one of the highlights was watching the groom joining in with the drum and flute entrance and then with the salsa dancers !
THE PHOTOGRAPHY Helen England was our photographer - she was a recommended supplier from Salomons Estate and as soon as we saw her golden hour photos we knew we had to have her ! We wanted relaxed , colourful photos full of love and laughter . We were also desperate for some golden hour photos which by some miracle we managed to get between the pouring rain !
THE HIGHLIGHT Our absolute highlight of the day was walking out of the ceremony as husband and wife .
