Lily and Robbie's wonderful wedding day took place in July, with a traditional ceremony at St Mary’s Church, Yapton, followed by a relaxed, modern reception at Bury Manor Barn, a stunning Tudor barn in Pulborough.

Lily wore the Jesus Peiro 2214 Miss Bush special wedding dress which is a combination of styles 2236, 2214 and 200. The final dress features bold puff sleeves alongside a fitted bodice,  chic square neckline and romantic full skirt. Lily chose to have her dress made from crisp silk mikado fabric for a contemporary finish, and also opted for buttons all the way to the end of the train. To style her dress Lily kept things simple, adding a delicate veil, and a beautiful pair of sapphire earrings which belonged to her late Grandmother.

Styling

I styled my look with a simple veil, I didn’t want to take away from the structure of the dress. The dress was a vision by itself so was completed nicely with the plain veil.

I wore my late granny’s diamond sapphire earrings which kept the look traditional. I wore flat shoes with a pointed toe and diamanté bow embellishment. The were the perfect twist of comfortable and stylish.

A traditional but modern Bury Manor Barn wedding

My theme was traditional but with a modern twist. I wanted a traditional church wedding and had the ceremony at the same church where my parents got married and my grandparents got married. It is an early English church dating from circa 1180. It perfectly fitted the traditional English theme I wanted.

The reception was followed in a stunning Tudor barn, set in the rural village of Bury. It was the first venue we viewed and with just fell in love the quaint building. It was beautiful.

The best bits

My favourite part of the day was walking down the aisle. Every girl dreams of this moment and I just enjoyed it so much. I felt the best version of myself in my dress, surrounded by all my favourite people. It was just so intimate and warm.

Lily's Advice

I was quite lucky, I think I know my style quite well which helped me with my dress shopping. I would say be open, even though I knew wanted I still tried on every style to confirm what I didn’t like. Everything looks different of the hanger to what it looks like on, so try everything on.

Remember it’s your wedding day so choose the things that you want and the things that make you happy.
