What Made Our Day Unique
We decided to go X-L on the live music; we love music and knew it would be the best way to fuse the Egyptian/Irish/Scottish vibes! We are so happy we didn’t compromise; the music created the most incredible atmosphere all day. It kicked off with bagpipes outside the church, then, an amazing arrangement of 'Bittersweet Symphony' by Hyde Family Jam to see me down the aisle. Things were pretty energetic from thereon… we had a VERY lively register signing in the church (again courtesy of HFJ) - that totally set the tone for the day! They also did the drinks reception and, as a surprise, we entered the wedding breakfast with a traditional Egyptian band and had some mad pre-dinner dancing! New York Brass Band jumped out at the best moment during our first dance. Surprises are always fun for all!
Inspiration & Styling
I honestly don’t know what words to use to describe the vibe. Well, I am not sure there was a specific vibe. Maximalist maybe!? For every decision, we just chose the things we loved, without thinking too much about how it would all look together. Joe also created a lot of our (my!) ideas. When we pulled it all together we realised we had quite the concoction - feathers, sequins, bold flowers, disco balls, a huge paper flower installation, outdoor sofas and we brought lots of the outside inside! Thankfully, the venue was such a huge utility space (tin roof/brick wall stables) so we think it worked well and thanks to the gorgeous and unique features of the venue, like the gorgeous heavy vines over the stables, it hopefully resembled something vaguely tasteful!
