TESSA & TIM
Favourite Memory of the Day
"Taking photos with the bridal party just after the ceremony. We took the official family photos, then our photographer stole us all away for some beautiful lighting. The venue made us up a hamper of nibbles and bubbles. We were away from the guests for about 45 minutes and it was so special to be able to spend that time with my girls. You can see in my face how happy and relaxed I was with them next to me!"
Advice for Future Brides
"Don’t worry about tradition or what people think you 'should’ do! I chose shorter dresses for my bridesmaids and different styles- 2 had one style and the third had another. Even though it’s your day, you want your girls to be comfortable, right? I made absolutely sure that we chose dresses together that they felt comfortable and beautiful in. If they feel gorgeous, and you think they look it, it will show on their faces and in your photos."
What Tessa loved about KILT Bridesmaids
"So many things! But in particular how you can mix-and-match styles with the same fabric as I did. I had everyone matching, but also in a dress that suited them. There were also so many styles to choose from, so it was nice to give the girls a choice of a range. I also liked how I could add up to 10cm to the dress length- for me it made all the difference to the formality of the dresses. And my girls were more comfortable too. Not to mention how affordable it was, considering you are getting brand new hand made dresses!"
