Real Bride

#EnzoaniRealBride: Natalie & Jamie

A Gorgeously Rustic Celebration

Like something out of a fairytale...

We spoke to #EnzoaniRealBride Natalie on her gorgeous, whimsical wedding, how she found love with her best friend, Jamie...and how she customized her dream Enzoani dress:

"After trying on a handful of dresses I had picked out myself, Rosie at Lulu Browns asked me to try on the Blue by Enzoani style Fada dress. It didn't have the beading I'd always wanted and it wasn't as dramatic as I imagined I'd pick, but when I put it on, I knew it was the dress I was going to get married in; it just felt completely different to any of the other dresses I'd tried. I felt like a bride!

It was important for me to make the dress my unique own. I knew I wanted sleeves, so I was over the moon when I was told I could order more fabric for this to be done. I was also able to design my own veil which really tied the theme and dress together."

"Jamie and I first met whilst I was working in our local pub on a Saturday night. After several failed attempts from Jamie, I finally accepted his offer to take me on a date. After just a few months, it felt like we'd always been together. After four years dating, we moved into our first home, and just two weeks later, we got engaged on our favourite beach in Portugal. Eighteen months after that, I got to marry my best friend!"

"For me, creating our perfect day was all about the little details. In the excitement of the morning, all the little extras I’d planned had slipped my mind, so I got to enjoy the surprises at the same time as our guests, which was lovely."

"If I had to pick my favourite moment, it would be being walked down the aisle by my Dad and seeing Jamie waiting for me at the end with a huge smile on his face and tears in his eyes. I'll remember those few minutes for the rest of my life!"
