Real Bride - Victoria & Matthew

Due to COVID this wedding had been a long time coming but finally The Ivory Room bride Victoria married Matthew at the beautiful Hazel Gap Barn in Nottinghamshire. Victoria Spotted her Justin Alexander gown online and got in touch with them to ask who stocked it, The Ivory Room was the only stockist in the UK for this particular dress and, luckily for Victoria, she didn’t have to travel far. She and her mum came over to try the dress on and it was perfect, completely meant to be!  Here is their story…..

THE PROPOSAL

Our proposal was at home! My sister and her family were over from australia for Christmas , and Matthew proposed at home on Christmas morning as I was opening my presents.

THE WEDDING DRESS

I wanted to look classy and elegant, but have a dress with a slight twist. My goal was to choose a dress I knew I wouldn’t look back on and think it was a ‘fashion’ dress; I wanted a timeless piece. I had seen the dress on the Justin Alexander website and found a stockist (The Ivory Room!) booked an appointment, tried on ‘the dress’, fell and love, and tried on no others.

THE WEDDING

Again, I wanted to keep my theme fairly simple and elegant. We had classic roses as our flowers, with gold, burgundy, and mauve pink touches throughout the decor.

One of the most special memories was walking down the aisle with my dad, seeing all our guests in the ceremony room and Matthew at the top of the aisle.
