Joanne and Chris were made for each other. In every look and touch, you can tell how perfect they are together. So when I discovered they were childhood sweethearts who’d met 12 years ago as teenagers, I loved this couple even more. 

 

Joanne and Chris held their wedding on 18th of August at The Elvetham which is in Hampshire, Hartley Wintney. It's a 19th century building which is absolutely gorgeous. The colour palettes are mint green and blush pink. It is a truly charming wedding featuring a young love theme. 

 

The dress that Joanne wore was by Charlotte Balbier. It is a totally gorgeous sparkly lace wedding dress with v-neckline and diamante belt. We feel that it was a perfect choice for this beautifully romantic wedding theme. She added a soft tulle veil, princess tiara and a gorgeous pair of shoes from Rainbow club. It was an honor to be part of her special day and she looked truly magnificent! 

 

She sent us a note saying..."I have never, ever been into any shop where the service is as outstanding as it was here. The lovely ladies at Sophie Grace helped me pick my dream dress for my wedding this August. Their customer service was faultless, they made it personal, relaxing, enjoyable and an overall memorable experience which I wouldn't change for the world. The fun didn't stop there, as well as my gorgeous Charlotte Balbier dress, I also added a belt, tiara and veil. I also recommend the seamstress who is equally as lovely and extremely good at her job. Nothing was to much trouble for any member of staff and I highly recommend for any bride looking for their dream dress! I would like to thank all the ladies for making my experience just wonderful!'' 

 

Thank you so much Joanne and Chris for sharing the details of your fabulous day and thank you Lauren Henson for capturing it all and making our blog look so beautiful! We wish them a lifetime of love and joy!
