Rainy Day Wedding

This beautifully rainy wedding day is the perfect example of love always wins. Flora & Kiya made a lot of changes to their day due to COVID-19, but were adamant they would marry no matter what. Keeping their day simple and relaxed, they decided to move their reception to next Spring - hoping for a big party! They decided on a ‘first look’ moment, which was beautifully captured by Beatrici Photography.

Style

We were quite limited to the personal touches we were allowed to have for the ceremony – including music. But at the very last minute we were told I could walk down the aisle to something. Kiya quickly picked a recent song that I absolutely adore – ‘Are you even real?’ by James Blake.

Ceremony

We kept everything super simple, cool and relaxed for the ceremony, as we actually decided to move the whole reception to next Spring – and the vibe for that will be very different! If we can go ahead, it will likely be the first time in a year that everyone has been able to get together, so it will be one huge party!

Dress

Since we made the decision to move the reception to Spring 2021, I decided I couldn’t possibly wear the same dress twice! I chose to save my ‘real dress’ for the reception when more people will get to see it in the flesh.
