My bridesmaid Emma made the dresses ourselves. I have worked with amazing mills over the years and chose a satin crepe made from a mix of 80% Curpo and 20% Viscose.

Cupro is a fabric made from seeds left over from the cotton harvest, the cotton lint. Viscose is made from wood pulp and is FSC certified. The green dye is vegetable dyed and is approved by the EU as vegan certified.

Finding a brand you can trust is difficult and it was harder than I thought searching for four flower girl dresses. I first looked at second hand but struggled to get the sizes, I then looked at making them (but had taken on too much already with the 4 bridesmaid dresses). After lots of research we decided on dresses from monsoon. They aren’t perfect when it comes to sustainability but I do like their sourcing practices and I believe we should support companies who are trying.

This little car was my uncles and I truly wanted it to be in pride of place. My uncle is sadly no longer with us but including his little car made us all feel like he was still with us.

The first wedding shop and the third dress I tried on. My sister and I spotted it on a rack at the back of the shop. We were told it was a sample that had some beaded damage but I could try it on. As soon as I put it on and it fitted perfectly. The bridal shop tried to fix the damaged beads the best they could and i just embraced the bits they couldnt.

My hand embroidery is not good, but I think when it comes to presents like this, it’s the thought that counts. I hand embroidred hankerchiefs for my mother and father. My mums read ‘ For your happy tears’ and my dads read ‘ I’ll always be your little girl’ and yes, it brought them both to tears.

It’s handy that my wonderful auntie does this for a living. My auntie hand embroidered my veil with our names and date placed at the bottom. It not only made the veil look so special but gave it so much meaning that will stay in the family as a treasure pieces for generations.

We couldn’t get a registrar up north (2,500 people waiting list). So we got officially married before, in London where we live.

I wore all vintage or second-hand. I wore Toms ( my husband’s) grandmother’s blue velvet dress which is over 90 years old. I wore my grandmother’s earrings and treated myself to a pair of vintage Manolo Blahnik satin shoes.

I got the shoes from the Luxury closet. Nice team and all designer products are verified.

These calculations are always a bit questionable due to so many unknowns. However, it’s good to get an idea so we can be aware of the impact our decisions has, and we can offset our impact.

I know marques are reusable BUT I loved, even more, the idea of a wooden structure instead of plastic. Yorkshire yurts were incredible and basically built us a village.

My mother-in-law found the cake supplier, the wonderful Bec from Three little birds bakery. Bec went above and beyond to get me a wedding cake that was as eco-friendly as possible. Due to a lot of decoration on cakes being wasted, we went for edible flowers, all sourced from England.

I went for made in England, green velevt shoes. Its a lovwly experive. I met the designer and …
