A delicate sage green wedding theme was the perfect backdrop for this happy couple’s relaxed day...

Melani and Daniel met just prior to Covid. “It was on lucky Tinder!” she says. “Our first date was a walk together at the Pit Top, a park in Armthorpe, Doncaster.”

Dan proposed in April 2022 at Disneyland Paris, outside the Disney Castle. “He asked his sister to take a photo of us together in front of the castle,” says Melani. “Then he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife.”

Shopping for the dress

Melani found her dream dress at wed2b’s Rotherham store. "I had been there when I was a bridesmaid for my cousin’s wedding in 2019,” she says. “The staff were amazing then, so I knew if I was lucky enough to get married one day I’d go to wed2b for my dress. Megan who looked after me during my visit was also great. I tried on 12 dresses and really didn’t know what I wanted but she helped me find my dream dress.”

The dress she chose was Amalie, a lace and tulle gown by Heidi Hudson. “I had always imagined a free flowing, boho style dress. However, I nearly didn’t try this dress on but was so glad that I did. It made me feel absolutely stunning and the illusion neckline and back made me feel like a true princess. I also bought a veil, hair slide and belt, although I ended up not wearing the belt, as the dress was just perfect without it.” 

An elegant golf club venue

The couple chose Grange Park Golf Club, Rotherham, for their wedding on 11th August. “Daniel absolutely loves golf and I’d been to a few gatherings there before and also loved the space and views from the room,” says Melani.

The big day

“I got ready at home with my three bridesmaids and both our mums,” says Melani. “The weather was stunning. It hadn’t been a great summer, so I was so grateful that the weather was beautiful. It was nice and warm with a gentle breeze. My dad walked me down the aisle to ‘Songbird’ by Fleetwood Mac. Our readings were personalised by Daniel who wrote them himself."

The ceremony was followed by a hot buffet and drinks then a fun party. “Our first dance song was ‘Small Bones’ by Courteeners,” says Melani. 

A stylish sage green wedding theme

“We went for a sage green wedding theme and I made 90% of the wedding decorations myself,” says Melani. “My best friend made our wedding cake, which was absolutely stunning. Then, in the evening, there was a DJ who was amazing.”

The best bits…

“The most memorable thing about the whole day was getting to spend it with our son,” says Melani.  

My top tips…

“Enjoy every moment, as the time flies by,” says Melani. “Try to take some time away with your husband/wife and get a candid photographer.”
