Hi there,
I'm getting married in spring next year at an estate in Somerset. The wedding will be at a small church on the house grounds, and the wedding breakfast will be at the house. My mother-in-law very nicely offered to pay for a traditional horse and carriage as my transport. During the reception and wedding breakfast we have a string quartet for music.
I've got my wedding dress, and it's a full skirted, fitted lace bodice ivory dress. I've also got a cathedral length veil. I always imagined a sparkly headpiece of some variety, and I've found some tiaras that are really lovely, like some of the leaf-inspired ones from Ivory and Co (not the stereotypical pointed/prom tiaras).
I guess my main worry is whether the wedding as a whole (including the horse and carriage and a big dress and tiara) seems too OTT? I think I'm just worried it will look a little bit tacky, and like I took the 'princess-for-a-day' idea and ran with it! It also seems a bit extravagant, but we're having a mid-week wedding which has kept the costs down!
I think I'm probably just nervous about being over-dressed and over-thinking things. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice, or did you feel the same way?
Thank you! x
