Evening entertainment came with the DJs – Fox and Braces. Guests were able to make requests for a favourite song with their RSVP so the evening included a whole mix of music that everyone enjoyed. “Everything came together to make a perfect day. All of the speeches were special and reflected the people we love the most and all that we’ve shared together.” The groomsmen all wore traditional morning suits, black tailcoat and grey striped trousers. The bridesmaids wore fresh sea-green fulllength dresses with a similar floaty-style to the bride’s gown. David wore a traditional morning suit with black silk polished top hat, dove grey waistcoat, dove grey gloves, double pocket-watch chain and silver paisley silk tie (with pearl tie pin). At David’s parents’ ’70s wedding, the groom and groomsmen wore paisley silk ties and the tie was a nod towards this.
