It is a delight to share Natasha & Alex's joyful Kew Gardens wedding with you today. The wedding took place just before Easter, and was filled with beautiful Spring flowers, elegant styling and thoughtful, personal touches to make their day extra special.

Natasha wore Jesus Peiro's iconic 2406 bridal outfit, a two piece set featuring a straight cropped bodice above a full a-line skirt with high waist. The look is completed with matching puff sleeves to add a bold statement. To accessorise, Natasha asked us to make an adorable matching bow to go with her dress for the perfect finishing touch.

Jesus Peiro 2406 wedding dress

I loved that it was a wildcard option, the second dress I tried on in the first shop, and after that, I never looked anywhere else! We opted to take the mid-sleeve off, and I am really pleased we did. It’s all about the puff!

Styling

I absolutely loved the hair bow the Miss Bush team created using the same fabric as my wedding dress. My shoes were from Russell and Bromley – a sparkly pair that perfectly complemented the black tie dress code. I wore a simple diamond necklace that was a gift I received earlier in the year for my 30th birthday, and my maid of honour kindly lent me some statement diamond studs, which had a beautiful drop added. I also wore a simple veil with a lace edging, which I think, completed the look perfectly. Lastly, my evening 'glitzy' bag was from Rixo!

A spring wedding at Kew Gardens

Our day was held at the start of the Easter weekend at Kew Gardens, just down the road from where we live. It’s so special now, driving past such a memorable place most days! My dress meant everything to me—I loved the sleeves and how comfortable it was. I wanted to keep everything simple around me, with ‘everyday, just elevated’ makeup and my hair swept back behind my shoulders. My gorgeous bridesmaids wore the Ghost dress in ivory, and all of our flowers were shades of pink, cream, and apricot. Alex wore a tuxedo from Suit Supply, which worked perfectly for our 4pm start as we moved into the evening. We had personal readings, special vows, plenty of live music, delicious food, and an unforgettable party. It was perfect in every way.

The best bits

My top three moments: seeing my girls for the first time in my dress, remembering that I was about to marry Alex as I walked down the aisle, and finally walking into dinner to see all of our family and friends beaming with excitement!
