We're so delighted to share Emma and Richard's fun, intimate and relaxed wedding in Hampshire with you today, which took place at Cain Manor. Set at the foot of the South Downs, this stunning Elizabethan manor house was the perfect spot for our bride and her new husband to celebrate their marriage, with their closest friends and family in the gorgeous September sunshine.
Emma wore a bespoke Suzanne Neville wedding dress, with striking puff sleeves and a gently flared skirt. Based on Liliana, the dress features a figure hugging silhouette with the most brilliantly crafted hidden corsetry for a perfect fit. Emma styled her look with classic bridal elegance, opting for simple jewellery, natural waves and shoes from Dune.
Read on for all of the images and to find out more about the day in Emma's own words...
A bespoke Suzanne Neville wedding dress
I wore a Suzanne Neville bespoke gown with puff sleeves. I loved it!!! I never thought I would be able to wear something so beautiful due to my size and my boobs!!
I brought my mum with me to the first fitting and my sisters joined on zoom. It was an overwhelming experience.
Dress Shopping
The vision Emma had from the first meeting was fantastic and the whole shopping experience which is quite an anxious moment was made so much better by Emma and her team and I was made to feel completely comfortable and the whole experience was fantastic
I have large boobs so was very nervous that I didn’t want them on show and the dress should be stylish as well as show off my big personality which it did both!!!
A fun and informal wedding at Cain Manor in Hampshire
We wanted an informal reception with just family and close friends and then. Party in the evening. The day was an incredibly hot day in September and we could not have asked for better weather, food, company and a great disco in the evening!
The best bits
Marrying my soul mate but being surrounded by family and friends for the first time we could during covid and saying I do in front of all of them!
Emma's Advice
Don’t be frightened whatever size or shape you are as there is a dress out there for you. You will not be able to buy it off the peg but you will be able to create something that completely suits your shape and size and feel like a complete princess 👸
