“I’ve know ever since I was a little girl I wanted to get married in red dress, but unfortunately my taste was not shared by many bridal shops, apart from one.”

Today I get to share with you Adele – a beautiful bride who decided to wear red on her wedding day, with thanks to The Couture Company who created such a gorgeous dress and with fantastic images from Ben Fones Photography.

“We like to think that the whole wedding was relaxed, full of laughter with family and friends, but with our own little twist on tradition. This is just like our lives!”

It was the most important thing to me that my tattoos had to be on display (much to my mum’s dismay) if they could not be incorporated into the design of the dress they must be shown off. I converted my Mom in the end proving body art can be just as beautiful as the dress you wear; you just have to find the perfect one.

I was told about The Couture Company from a friend who was also getting married, I did not hold out much hope as I had been disappointed before. But boy was I so wrong!!! As soon as I walked through the door I knew I’d get my dress from here!! Jo and her team were so lovely and laid back which made me relax and completely trust them to create the dress of my dreams, and she didn’t disappoint, Jo has a fantastic ability to pick the idea out your head and make it a reality. I didn’t want to take my dress off on my wedding day, it was so beautiful, and beauty should not be hidden in a wardrobe, so I have had mine framed and hung on my lounge wall for to see! 

Me and my sister (my maid of honour) made all the invitations, place cards, RSVP replies and table layout plan. The invitations were probably the most fun to make sitting on my parents lounge floor with my sister teaching me how to do calligraphy whilst spelling my guests names wrong! (she did them all in the end)

My highlight of our wedding day was walking into the ceremony room that was when everything that had been planned for months and everything I wanted became real.

How gorgeous is Adele’s dress? I do love The Couture Company! Thank you to Adele & Anthony for sharing their story today and also to Ben Fones Photography and The Couture Company for sharing the images of this gorgeous day! Be sure to leave some love!
