1.How did your partner propose?
When we were travelling in New Zealand!
How did your partner propose? We had a wonderful engagement. Chris proposed in the Boboli Gardens in Florence during a short break there in November 2022. We were walking through the stunning gardens and made our way to a viewpoint with views across the Tuscan hills. We were completely alone apart from one elderly couple who saw Chris get down on one knee and managed to snap a picture for us. The words Chris said are a bit of a blur, but I remember saying yes practically before he finished! It was perfect, and we spent the next few days celebrating in Florence.
What’s the best piece of advice you received in the run-up to your wedding? Some really helpful advice was to manage your stakeholders well with your partner. By that, I mean managing your respective friends and family to ensure they know what is happening but aren’t putting too much pressure on you to have your day a specific way. There is a way to stay true to what you and your partner want without upsetting family and friends, and the key is good communication.
How did you go about finding your wedding dress? After getting engaged, I was inundated with inspiration on Instagram and Pinterest. I found myself continually returning to the same theme of dresses. I then looked up designers whose dresses I was repeatedly looking at and set out looking for a stockist. That’s where I came across Fross, as they stocked Justin Alexander, who I didn’t end up wearing but loved his dresses.
How many dresses did you try on before you found ‘the one’? I think it was about 20. I’d been to one store before Fross, yet it was at Fross that there were so many I could happily wear. It just took a bit of a hunt to find the perfect dress, and Fross sent away to get more samples in for me to try.
Do you know the name of your dress designer? Adriana Alier – Dress Hollie.
What made you fall in love with the dress that you chose? So many elements I loved: the huge bow at the back, the low back itself, its white satin color, the way it felt very light but still had a very big skirt. It had a beautiful long train, and the whole dress felt so light. The whole thing made me feel like a princess. I then created some detachable lace puff sleeves using Sassi Holford lace with the help of Fross seamstress Kate. They were amazing and truly so me.
Did you wear a veil and/or any other bridal accessories? I wore a Sassi Holford veil, which was extra long and double-tiered. My shoes were from Harriet Wilde, a white satin three-inch heel with a ribbon lace-up.
Tell us a little about your wedding day – the vibe, what inspired you, etc. We truly had the most perfect spring wedding. The sun shone for the entire weekend, which was amazing after such horrendous weather. The cherry blossom was in bloom, and it set the whole day. Our vibe was a traditional English country wedding with a hint of Bridgerton and plenty of bows! We had our service at St. Margaret the Queen in Buxted and our reception at Buxted Park Hotel just across the lawn from the church. We had a stunning service filled with flowers and incredible hymns, with lots of emotion from everyone. We listened to a stunning string quartet as I walked down the aisle, and they played for our drinks reception on the hotel’s lawn. We had the wedding breakfast in the ballroom, a stunning setting, with the windows wide open and white curtains billowing. It was something out of a dream. The speeches were a total knockout, with plenty of laughs and tears. Then it was time to dance the night away to a huge band under the orangery’s twinkling lights. The whole day was completely stupendous – a perfect day.
What was your favorite moment from the day itself? Watching Chris cry as I walked down the aisle surrounded by our family and friends was incredible. The music was Vivaldi Spring 1 recomposed by Max Richter, and it was a magic moment.
Is there any advice you would be happy to share with other brides? Keep going – the stress is so worth it!
Are you taking a honeymoon and if so, when (in relation to your wedding, i.e., immediately after, or sometime later), and what are your plans? Yes, we did take a honeymoon! We spent ten days in Sicily, flying out a few days after the wedding. It was incredible to go away pretty much straight away and ride the wedding high while treating ourselves to a beautiful holiday in Taormina.

How did your partner propose?
My partner proposed to me during a dinner cruise on the River Seine in Paris. We were on the deck of the boat with the Eiffel Tower lit up in the background.
What’s the best piece of advice you received in the run up to your wedding?
Stop trying to please everybody. The day is about you and your partner and no one else. Enjoy every minute of it and don’t let people’s opinions put a dampener on your special day. You can’t keep everyone happy!
How did you go about finding your wedding dress?
Over the course of 9 months, I visited 9 different bridal boutiques and was on the internet/social media non-stop looking for my perfect dress. I just couldn’t find ‘the one’. I put so much pressure on myself to find the perfect dress and actually found the whole process extremely stressful. After what felt like a lifetime of looking, I found the one at Fross! I had moments of panic and sleepless nights where I thought I’d made the wrong choice but after seeing the seamstress for alterations, I was finally in love!
How many dresses did you try on before you found ‘the one’?
A lot! I would estimate somewhere between 60-80 dresses.
Do you know the name of your dress designer?
Modeca
What made you fall in love with the dress that you chose?
It was different from other dresses I had tried on, more unique. I originally wanted a square neckline; however, this sweetheart neckline with the straps gave off the same vibe as square but was much softer and more flattering for me. I loved all the detail on the bodice, and the skirt had an all-over subtle shimmer which was beautiful, especially when it caught the light. The low back was a must for me too. I also found out that this dress was only stocked at one shop in the whole of the UK, and that was Fross! So the likelihood of someone else having my dress was extremely low!
Did you wear a veil and/or any other bridal accessories?
I wore a Swarovski crystal cathedral veil that I purchased at Fross. My veil was absolutely stunning, and I am so sad I’ll never be able to wear it again! However, I’ve already handed it over to my sister as her ‘something borrowed’ for her wedding day, which is next year.
Tell us a little about your wedding day – the vibe, what inspired you, etc.
Our wedding day was modern and classic. We had entertainment throughout the entire day; a violinist for the ceremony and reception, a singer for the wedding breakfast, and a band and DJ for the evening reception. The ceremony was beautiful; it took place in a naturally well-lit stunning room with all of our friends and family there to witness us tying the knot! The guests were all so happy for us and were certainly enjoying themselves (maybe a little too much as they got through over 100 shots before 4 pm). The dance floor was packed all night, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. We even had a double rainbow show up for us!
What was your favorite moment from the day itself?
One of my favorite moments was seeing my future husband waiting at the end of the aisle for me with my Dad on my arm and all of my loved ones surrounding me.
Is there any advice you would be happy to share with other brides?
All the stress will be worth it. Lean on friends and family (and your partner) when things are getting too much and come back to wedding planning another day. Everything will work itself out in the end, and you will have the most amazing day.
Are you taking a honeymoon, and if so, when (in relation to your wedding, i.e., immediately after, or sometime later) and what are your plans?
We went on a ‘mini-moon’ to the Amalfi Coast just over a day after our wedding. We traveled to Naples, Sorrento, Capri, and Positano and spent 6 days exploring. We will be going on our bigger honeymoon to Mexico 4 months after our wedding, where we will be sunbathing, swimming, and sipping on margaritas in the sunshine for 10 days.
Would you mind sharing details of any other suppliers you used?
How did your partner propose? He proposed to me in September 2022 in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia in front of the Twin Towers. It was completely unexpected and a huge surprise, but one that meant a lot to me as I am half Malaysian and have been going to KL since I was a baby.
What’s the best piece of advice you received in the run up to your wedding? It’s YOUR wedding, no one elses! Do what makes YOU happy.
How did you go about finding your wedding dress? I tried many different styles of dresses as I didn’t really know what I wanted or what would suit me.
How many dresses did you try on before you found ‘the one’? I don’t know the exact amount, but I visited 3 other shops before visiting Fross, so I think I probably tried on around 20 before I found mine!
Do you know the name of your dress designer? Sincerity
What made you fall in love with the dress that you chose? I loved the simplicity of it. I had tried on many dresses that I just did not feel comfortable in as I am not someone who is used to dressing up. I didn’t want something that was ‘busy’ or ‘fussy’ in the detailing. I also had some bespoke sleeves made my Kate which just elevated the dress completely as they had tiny pearls on the material.
Did you wear a veil and/or any other bridal accessories? I never wanted to wear a veil as I just didn’t feel like ‘me’ when I tried one on. I had a couple of fresh orchids in my hair and that was is.
Tell us a little about your wedding day – the vibe, what inspired you, etc. Our wedding was on 16th December, so it very much had a Christmas/Winter feel to it. The venue, Buxted Park was decked out with their Christmas decorations and fires too, so it just felt super cosy. Our dress code was Black Tie, and it just made the day feel so special. I always wanted a Winter wedding – I absolutely hate being hot, so for me, I couldn’t think of anything worse than having a wedding in the summer! Christmas is also my absolute favourite time of the year, so it was a no brainer for me. The flowers were a reflection on my Malaysian/Chinese heritage. My flowers were a bouquet of large, trailing ,white orchids, and my bridesmaids were bunches of smaller stem, white , orchids. These were also dotted around the venue. Our wedding favours were personalised gingerbread men and we didn’t have a ‘traditional’ cake in that our ‘cake’ was made of rounds of cheese instead!
What was your favourite moment from the day itself? I have two favourite moments – the first one being our dog, Coco, being our ring bearer and walking down the aisle when the registrar asked for the rings. My second one is that we surprised our guests with a Chinese Lion Dance performance in the evening. No one apart from myself and my husband (and the hotel and photographer!) knew about this, and our photographer made everyone believe we were moving to a room to take a group photo. People’s faces were a picture when the Lion came out and interacted with everyone.
Is there any advice you would be happy to share with other brides? If you can, hire a wedding stylist! It took so much stress and strain off me to know someone was dealing with all of the smaller details and decorations. It was a massive weight off my shoulders. There were things I didn’t even think of that our wedding stylist helped us with. Also, I would recommend a videographer. I initially didn’t want one and wasn’t bothered about having a wedding video, but I am SO glad we did. A videographer captures your day in a different way to a photographer and you get to see things you may not have witnessed on the day as you are trying to socialise with everyone and make ‘the rounds’!.
Are you taking a honeymoon and if so when (in relation to your wedding, ie, immediately after, or sometime later) and what are your plans? As our wedding was so close to Christmas, we didn’t want to leave for a honeymoon straight away. We had a mini-moon for a few days in Bath after the wedding and before Christmas which was amazing as we didn’t have to travel far and got to relax and take it all in before the chaos of Christmas started. We are going back to Malaysia for our honeymoon and will be visiting KL for a few days and then flying to an island called Langkawi which we have never been to before. We leave tomorrow 18th January!

How did your partner propose? It was very unexciting!!! Friday night after a stressful week. He has been nagging me all day to go for a walk and I kept saying NO! so, in the end he asked me sat on the bed after asked me about my day! I am still not sure I have actually said yes!
What’s the best piece of advice you received in the run up to your wedding? Don’t sweat the small stuff! And enjoy it! Its such a special time. Also, don’t share too many details with too many people unless you want a lot of conflicting views on things! We loved having surprises for people on the day
How did you go about finding your wedding dress? Fross was the first place we came! I knew I wanted something beaded, but not necessarily long and with a train! I tried on a load of dresses, and quickly ruled out a bunch of styles! The dress I ended up with, my mum could hide how much she knew it was the one! It was long, a massive train and the most amazing dress!
How many dresses did you try on before you found ‘the one’? not that many, maybe 5 / 6! So much soon, I felt like I needed to try on more! But when I left the shop, all I could think about was ‘the one’
Do you know the name of your dress designer? Tiffany
What made you fall in love with the dress that you chose? I just felt like it was made for me! even though it was too big, it just did all the right things! Perfect strangers in the shop were almost telling me that it was the one!
Did you wear a veil and/or any other bridal accessories? NO veil, but a beaded headpiece. The back of the dress was too beautiful for a veil
Tell us a little about your wedding day – the vibe, what inspired you, etc. We had an intermate, Christmasy, sparkly wedding! We wanted it to be super chilled and for all our guests to be able to let their hair down! It was PERPECT! I wish we could do it all again!
What was your favourite moment from the day itself? Impossible to say – never had nerves like it, but it was just the best day! When we got the pictures back, I was literally smiling every moment of the day!
Is there any advice you would be happy to share with other brides? Just enjoy it! Don’t over think it, and do exactly what you and your partner want! Also – I know everyone says it, but it goes so so quickly – remember to take time to take it all in!
Are you taking a honeymoon and if so when (in relation to your wedding, ie, immediately after, or sometime later) and what are your plans? We went on our honeymoon 2 days after, and went to Sri Lanka for Christmas! Was the best to go away soon after, it really allowed us to decompress and chat endlessly about our day!

How did your partner propose? In a festive Igloo with Wham Last Christmas playing, on my birthday 23rd December
What’s the best piece of advice you received in the run up to your wedding? You make the energy of your wedding, if you exude happiness your guests will feel this
How did you go about finding your wedding dress?
I already had a wedding dress and regretted my decision; I made the purchase too early on and didn’t love it. I decided to go to Fross as I loved your dresses and vibe. I went with my mum to one of your sample sales and tried on 7 dresses, I had an idea of what I wanted but was still open minded.
How many dresses did you try on before you found ‘the one’?
I tried on 7 dresses as Fross, the first dress I tried on wasn’t one I had picked out from your website but I loved it on the rack, I put it on and felt incredible and it ended up being the one! I tried on all the others and they just didn’t feel quite the same as the first, it gave me that special feeling I was hoping for.
Do you know the name of your dress designer?
Tiffany’s Bridal
What made you fall in love with the dress that you chose?
The sparkle of the dress first drew my attention, the beautiful tulle and floral lace detailing paired with the long train, I loved how romantic it was.
Did you wear a veil and/or any other bridal accessories? Yes I wore a long sparkly veil and a fur bolero which were both purchased from Fross!
Tell us a little about your wedding day – the vibe, what inspired you?
Our wedding day was romantic and festive, a winter vibe. Deep burgundy, forest green and blush tones, with gold accents. We scented our wedding with Winter White Company which elevated our theme. Lots of seasonal foliage which adorned our asymmetric arch, meadows, bouquets and button holes.
What was your favourite moment from the day itself?
The whole day was incredible, it is so hard to pick a favourite moment but I have to say walking down the aisle is a moment I will never forget – all the people you love in one room watching you, rooting for you as you marry the love of your life, it was the most surreal feeling.
Is there any advice you would be happy to share with other brides? Yes! Take your time with planning and make sure you pick the right suppliers, they are the ones who bring your dream day to life. Try not to stress about what you look like, I found it really hard as I was self conscious but I wished I hadn’t spent so much time worrying, you will look and feel beautiful. Lastly, some advice that was given to me which was sooo spot on was you create the energy for your wedding, guests feed off the bride and groom, if you are happy your guests will be too!
Are you taking a honeymoon and if so when (in relation to your wedding, ie, immediately after, or sometime later) and what are your plans? We have just come back from our magical honeymoon in Lapland.

How did your partner propose?
He knew I would want it away from a crowd so we had gone to get our Christmas tree from a Christmas tree farm. As we were walking around finding our tree, he got down on one knee amongst the trees and popped the question!
What’s the best piece of advice you received in the run up to your wedding?
Its easier said than done but don’t stress over the small stuff! I was running through scenarios in my head for weeks, but on the day, it all went so smoothly and no one else knows if something doesn’t quite go to plan! I was also very organised in my planning early on, which made it far less stressful nearer the time. Try to enjoy the process – I am already missing doing the planning!
How did you go about finding your wedding dress?
We knew we wanted to get married somewhere in the countryside and have the place exclusively to ourselves. As soon as we saw The Oak Barn, we knew it had to be our venue. It was beautiful! I think we actually came across it looking on Hitched.
How many dresses did you try on before you found ‘the one’?
I probably tried on around about 15 dresses. Fross was my 5th shop I went to as I knew they stocked a dress that I liked. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted, but nothing ticked all the boxes until I found my dress at Fross!
Do you know the name of your dress designer?
Nicole Milano
What made you fall in love with the dress that you chose?
I really wanted long sleeves on my dress, and a mixture of lace and plain crepe. I loved the detail of the lace on my dress, along with the elegance of the plain crepe. Also the train on the dress was beautiful, and the lace detailing on the back was amazing! It felt so perfect when tried it on, I knew it was the one!
Did you wear a veil and/or any other bridal accessories?
I didn’t wear a veil, but instead my florist made me real flower pins for my hair which my hair dresser put in once my hair was styled
Tell us a little about your wedding day – the vibe, what inspired you, etc.
We wanted to go for a rustic, relaxed style to the day, with autumnal colours and flowers. We had hoped for a lovely autumn day, however we did get a bit of rain (meant to be lucky hey!) However, the rain cleared and the sun came out in the evening and we managed to get some beautiful photos, thanks tour amazing photographer. My husband and I both ordered some wellington boots so we could still walk around the field in the rain for our photos!
What was your favourite moment from the day itself?
Its hard to pick one moment. But I loved the moment I walked down the isle and saw all my family and friends in one room, celebrating me and my husband. That was special. It really was the best day of our lives so far!
Is there any advice you would be happy to share with other brides?
Everyone told me how quickly the day goes by, and it really is true! It all seems a bit of a blur, so do make sure you take a moment to just take it all in and look at all your friends and family around you having fun and celebrating! We also made sure we walked around to speak to all our guests over dinner, which was a great way of making sure you speak to everyone.
Are you taking a honeymoon and if so when (in relation to your wedding, ie, immediately after, or sometime later) and what are your plans?
We went on a minimoon to The Tawny Hotel in the Peak District and the to The Fish Hotel in the Cotswolds. Both were beautiful! We are going on our honeymoon in January – traveling around Thailand for 2 weeks. We cant wait!

What’s the best piece of advice you received in the run up to your wedding?
Take time during the day to just step back and take it all in.
How did you go about finding your wedding dress?
I researched various bridal shops using Hitched. Fross was my number 1 choice to visit.
How many dresses did you try on before you found ‘the one’?
It was about 3 or 4.
Do you know the name of your dress designer?
It’s Tiffany’s bridal – Wessex wedding dress
What made you fall in love with the dress that you chose?
It was everything I was looking for – fitted, gorgeous back, no spaghetti straps and a beautiful long train.
Did you wear a veil and/or any other bridal accessories?
I had a short, plain veil as I didn’t want to detract from the dress
Tell us a little about your wedding day – the vibe, what inspired you, etc.
It was all in a barn. It was a very relaxed day, we didn’t want anything too formal.
What was your favourite moment from the day itself?
There are so many – mostly all really funny ones. Keith put my wedding ring on upside down, almost dropped me during the first dance, our wedding cake was really hard to cut and we were holding onto the cake stand for dear life!. It was just such a happy day, filled with so much laughter and surrounded by all of our favourite people.
Is there any advice you would be happy to share with other brides?
Don’t let all the planning stress you out, and don’t try and do too much on the day. The time will fly by and you don’t want to be stuck to a really rigid timing plan. We were lucky and had a wedding planner with the venue who was a godsend. It meant we didn’t have to think or worry about anything on the day. If something goes wrong on the day, find a way to laugh about it and don’t let it ruin the day.
Are you taking a honeymoon and if so when (in relation to your wedding, ie, immediately after, or sometime later) and what are your plans?
We had a mini-moon for 2 night sin the Cotswolds just after the wedding, but we’re going o a 2 week Caribbean Cruise in February which we can’t wait for!

We wanted a very traditional day at our hotel venue but with some real special touches like a vintage ice cream van and our best man performing some songs for us.
What was your favourite moment from the day itself?
The ceremony was very emotional and heartfelt definitely my favourite part of the day.
