Ellie & Chris were married at the beautiful Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey in April this year, with our lovely bride Ellie looking incredible in her Maggie Sottero wedding dress for her elegant traditional Surrey wedding.
We’re delighted to share their stunning images with you today, shot by White Rabbit Photography.
THE DRESS
Ellie wore Maggie Sottero Kirstie in Antique Blush, an elegant strapless fishtail wedding gown covered in delicate lace appliques with a romantic sweetheart neckline.
Ellie says;
“I had my Mum, Mother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law with me when I found the dress and their reaction was lovely. They just knew it was the one from me…plus I didn’t want to take it off!”
“My favourite part of the dress shopping would have to be the personal service I got from Emma and the team at Miss Bush. For any bride, finding a dress is a huge part of the wedding and these ladies really make you feel like you’re in the best hands possible. Emma got me to try on all different kinds of styles to make sure I knew exactly what I liked/didn’t and what flattered my shape best. I never thought I would come away with a figure hugging, strapless blush dress…I went in thinking I wanted a long sleeved, white, ballroom type dress.”
“I wore an ivory cathedral veil and simple diamond stud earrings and necklace (both of which were my ‘borrowed’ items). My shoes were blush pink and were this amazing feather design. I wanted to keep it super simple and let the dress speak for itself.”
ABOUT THE DAY
Ellie tells us more about her wonderful wedding day to husband Cris;
“We both knew we wanted a really traditional wedding, especially because the school is so grand and beautiful but also because from looking online and at other people’s wedding, we loved the fact it would be timeless for photos. Our colour theme was rose gold as it was a great colour for a spring wedding but also brought the traditional’ness into the 21st century as we are a young couple.”
“It’s really hard to choose a favourite moment as it was all amazing but also that the day goes SO quickly, however I think it would be the moment I got to the end of the aisle because for one I had made it all the way down without falling over! But also because as soon as I got to Chris he told me how amazing I looked (naww) but he made me laugh/relax because he whispered to me…”I’m really hungover”!”
FINAL WORDS
Some words of wedding planning wisdom from our bride, Ellie;
“Enjoy every second of the planning as you only get to do it once! Also the day goes so much quicker than you will ever be able to imagine so take a moment to pause :)”
Ellie also wrote about her wedding dress shopping experience on her own blog, which you can read here.
