#EnzoaniRealBride: Melissa & Greg

Melissa and Greg jet off with family and friends to the Maldives for an intimate beach wedding ceremony.

Tell us about your dress...

"I was looking for a dress that was suitable for a beach wedding, but wanted it to still look like a wedding dress rather than a light boho style dress. I knew a fitted dress suited my body shape and I was looking for a dress that was unique, modern and had that ‘wow’ factor.

After many appointments in wedding dress shops, I came across the Nefertiti dress and knew it was the one! I loved the sparkle layer under the dress, which shimmered in the sun, the beautiful flower pattern and the different colours the dress came in, which suited my skin tone (I went for ivory-nude-nude which meant there were skin-coloured panels which broke up the dress and made it look quite natural). I changed the straps and added additional flower appliques to make it personal to me. The dress paired with the veil was perfect and made me feel really special on such an unforgettable day."

Tell us about your love story...

"Myself and Greg met whilst I was on a placement year from university. I left my family in Manchester and moved by myself to Wales with no plans but to gain experience for my degree. Little did I know that I would move back home with a new best friend who would eventually become my husband! From the moment we first met, we clicked, and our relationship turned from colleagues, to friends to eventually life partners. We still work together today and have our own engineering company.

Greg proposed during the 2020 COVID lockdown on a UK getaway to Devon, when he got down on one knee on the sand dunes overlooking the sea - I was shocked but so excited. The UK lockdown meant we had to delay the wedding until 2022, but this gave us more time to plan our dream destination wedding in the Maldives. We both wanted a small intimate wedding with our closest family celebrating with us – not forgetting the amazing views in Maldives, the white sands and blue ocean was the perfect combination!"

What was the most memorable part of your wedding?

"After more than a year of planning, we finally got to the wedding day which was the most perfect day. My most memorable moment (of so many I could have chosen from) was walking down the aisle from the spa jetty to the beach ceremony set up, with my dad, my bridesmaids and flower girls throwing rose petals in front of me. From here I got the first sight of my future husband waiting by the altar which was such an amazing feeling."
