If you're struggling to chose your wedding party and are wondering whether eight bridesmaids is too many, well worry not. Gorgeous bride Alice had eight and her wedding looked spectacular ;) In fact, not only did Alice have eight bridesmaids, but Albert had eight groomsmen too! Talk about squad goals. This adorable couple met at school and have basically been together forever - it just goes to show, when you know, you know. Nataly J has captured some incredible shots of the pair at golden hour - that light! I mean seriously swoon worthy images. Enjoy this one lovelies, it's a stunner of a day!
Alice & Albert: We are Alice & Albert a young couple (22) from Essex who after 7 years of dating finally got to marry each other! We're high school sweethearts. Alice is a Primary School Teacher and Albert a Car Specialist. Albert comes from a very large family of 14 children and he was the first to get married. That meant that we had to get all the help we could to plan such a big wedding. We had 8 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, 4 flower girls and 2 page boys to cater for along with all our other friends and family. We are also the first ones out of our friends to get married - which meant the bar needed to be set. We were engaged in June 2016 and got married in August 2017 which gave us just over a year to plan for our big day. After visiting lots of popular shops and searching for lots of well known companies we actually ended up finding most of our suppliers at a wedding fair. They were all mostly small and independent businesses which are local to us and I wouldn't change it for the world as they were all so professional. It was so refreshing to work alongside smaller companies and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is planning a wedding. As our wedding was going to be such a big one we also had a few suppliers contact us such as our photographer and cake maker as they wanted to be a part of our wedding.
