\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the wedding of a lovely couple Raeeka and Alastair, who met in 2007 and got engaged in 2014, when Raeeka made an unexpected proposal to her husband. What a lucky man! A very charming wedding venue with a lavender field<\/strong> in front was chosen- Botleys Mansion<\/a> in Surrey. The venue helped to choose the main colours of the wedding: lavender and mint green palette<\/strong>. The bride has chosen Sanyukta Shrestha<\/a> Evelyn gown<\/strong> from organic silk with beautiful bespoke embroidery on the shoulders and waist. We had a great pleasure to create special beading to match the colours of the wedding theme. What\u2019s more, we also created mint and lavender ethical bridesmaids’ dresses, <\/strong>made from our handweaved bamboo fabric. All the wedding itself was very ethical- the dresses were fair trade<\/strong>, made from eco-friendly fabrics<\/a>, the cake and rings were ethical, the bride even had vegan make-up<\/strong>! After the wedding all the guests got handmade lavender sachets<\/strong> for the memory of this wonderful day to be with them forever.<\/p>\n

Proposal:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We met at work in 2007 and got together that year. I proposed to my husband in hospital as he was going in for a shoulder surgery so I made a fake medical form with proposal on it. Engaged Dec 2014.<\/p>\n

Theme of the wedding:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We just wanted something beautiful but relaxed – our colours were lilac and mint green. We had a registrar for the formal ceremony but also did some traditional Persian elements as a part of the second half, as the bride is Iranian. A key theme was making sure that everything was ethical and fair trade as much as possible – so the dresses were all fair trade as was the cake and wedding rings. My make up was vegan and cruelty free. An ethical fairy-tale!<\/p>\n

The wedding dress:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was simple, elegant and one of kind with the detail – Sanyukta Shrestha<\/a> added beading that was lilac and mint green making it really unique. And I was searching for something ethical and Sanyukta’s dresses are all eco-friendly.<\/p>\n

First dance track:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m Yours by Jason Mraz – this was our song, it came out when we first started dating<\/p>\n

Advise for future brides:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just relax – whatever happens on the day will be beautiful, be as present as possible. A lot of people say that it went by in a blur, mine didn’t. I made sure I was as present as I could be and I remember every minute and loved it.<\/p>\n
