The Venue We knew we wanted a rustic feel to our wedding and preferably a barn and an outdoor option , being such nature lovers ourselves . The Plough was such a perfect option and right in the heart of Kent !
The Plough had a beautiful big open garden for all our guests and the most beautiful barn for our reception . It had a perfect warm feel to it , just how we envisioned it , and we just knew we had to get married there .
The Dress I booked an appointment at Isabella Grace Bridal in Tunbridge Wells as it was so highly recommended with nothing but positive reviews . I absolutely adore MadiLane designs and luckily they had an enormous collection at their boutique . As we know , choosing the most important gown of your life is not an easy task , but I knew I wanted a romantic and ethereal dress , laced and soft , and as soon as I tried the ‘ Katiya ’ style , it brought tears to everyone ’ s eyes and we all knew it was the dress !
The Speeches Everyone ’ s speeches brought so much laughter and happy tears to our eyes . From a video call of the whole reception to Joe ’ s grandma who couldn ’ t make it in person , to everyone having to toast with a shot of palinca – a very strong spirit very famous in Romania , where I was born , that most definitely warmed up all the guests !
The Photography Choosing a photographer was a hard and most important decision for us . It took us some months until we found Michaelangelo . His portfolio was amazing and his photography style was exactly what I was looking for , very warm , but light and very natural !
I will forever be grateful to him for capturing these memories so beautifully so we can cherish them forever .
The Highlight We both agree that walking into our reception in the barn to the sound of Luke Combs , and finally sitting down for our meal felt so incredible . We realised then how all our hard work had paid off , we were surrounded by everyone we loved , who were enjoying themselves , and we really were the luckiest couple in the world at that moment .
