There is something quintessentially British about a <\/span>garden wedding<\/b>, it\u2019s as if a scene straight out of Winston Clarke\u2019s Poldark. As summer was coming to an end, the nearest and dearest of Joanne and Michael Curtis came together under the glorious English sunshine as they took their vows in Lyveden New Bield.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

After a<\/span> snowy proposal<\/b> in the majestic woods of Switzerland, Joanne had her heart set on a <\/span>ethical wedding dress<\/b>. Already a fan of <\/span>fairtrade fashion<\/b>, she was delighted to become a <\/span>Sanyukta Shrestha bride<\/b> after finding us online. Planning a relaxed <\/span>outdoors wedding<\/b> in the <\/span>countryside<\/b>, Joanne knew she wanted a <\/span>dress<\/b> she could relax and have fun in <\/span><\/p>\r\n

In her <\/span>semi-bespoke gown<\/b>, Joanne wore <\/span>Neha, <\/b>a <\/span>sleeveless wedding dress, <\/b>perfect for her <\/span>September wedding <\/b>and ideally matched with her <\/span>Orva sash<\/b> for a touch of elegance. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhen he saw me in my dress on the day, my husband said he didn\u2019t know that you could get a wedding dress like that, and that it was perfect! I loved the dress style because it was elegant and floaty, but also comfortable and easy to wear – I was able to walk across the fields and dance a ceilidh in it\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

WHERE DID YOU MEET<\/b><\/p>\r\n

At University<\/span><\/p>\r\n

THE PROPOSAL<\/b><\/p>\r\n

In snowy woods in Switzerland.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

MOST MAGICAL MOMENT<\/b><\/p>\r\n

All of it! There was a moment half way through the day, when after the meal and speeches, me and my husband went for a wander to take stock of it all. We were coming back to the marquee and could hear the sound of the ceilidh band floating across the field and could see all our guests relaxed and happy – that was magical.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

THE DRESS<\/b><\/p>\r\n

I knew that I wanted a fair trade or eco-friendly wedding dress. We went to Sanyukta\u2019s shop in Fulham and she and her team were very helpful, letting me try on several dresses. I chose the one that I felt great in!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

FAIRTRADE<\/b><\/p>\r\n

Yes I was aware. What is wonderful about Sanyukta\u2019s wedding dresses is that not only are they eco-friendly and fairly made, but the fabrics are absolutely beautiful and of such high quality. My dress was in a bamboo silk with a floaty silk upper layer. It was very soft and felt great to wear. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

YOUR ADVICE FOR OTHER BRIDES<\/b><\/p>\r\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to try something on which you might not automatically go for – things can look and feel completely different when you put them on and what suits you best might be something you hadn\u2019t thought about before.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED & SOMETHING BLUE <\/b><\/p>\r\n

My wedding dress was new, I borrowed my mother-in-law\u2019s love-heart pearl necklace, and for the civil ceremony (which we did two days beforehand at the registry office because our venue was not licensed) I wore the blue flowery dress which my mother got married in. <\/span><\/p>\r\n
