After four years together, Chris proposed to Emily with a very unique and personal proposal. Chris took Emily to Goodwood Hill, asked her to put on headphones and a blindfold. A fireman then lifted Emily over a mile to the top of the hill, revealing, Chris suited and booted, down on one knee, asking her to marry him.Their beautiful wedding day took place at Cain Manor, with a rustic, country garden theme. Creams, sages and pinks were key to their decoration, with roses and gypsophila bringing the theme together.

Emily's father walked her down the aisle, accompanied by her sister and three friends as bridesmaids. After trying on 20 different dresses, Emily found “the one” at Anya Bridal Couture in Hampshire  - a stunning lace Stella York gown which fitted perfectly.

Emily and Chris hand made their centrepieces using logs, tealights and jam jars and had personalised love hearts as favours.

Top Tip: Plan and organise everything as much as possible! That way, when the day comes, all the hard work is done for you and you can just enjoy it!
