I am glad I had recommended Donnabella Bridal to Tracey. Her dress was as unique as she was- classic and slightly gothic, satisfying the traditionalists as well as the alternative crowd. Ricky-Lee from Donnabella Bridal spent two hours with Tracey's Bridal party assisting with bride and bridemaids dresses and general bridal preparation. A professional on the scene will ultimately make a huge difference. In fact, I could go as far as saying that as many as 40% of brides struggle with their dress during some point of the bridal preparation.

Straight after the ceremony the planned butterfly release was in jeopardy as the mail-ordered butterflies had still not showed up. No worry, as Paul from Peel Manor was on the case and as soon as the ceremony formalities had come to a close, two beautiful white doves were brought in just in time.

The big surprise was the show being set up in the gardens after 8pm. Air-Born Amusements had two huge bouncy castle-like structures. The Bucking Bull and Bouncy Boxing. Too much fun!

I was so glad to see Tracey mount that bull and hold on for dear life. She nearly broke a record until she was thrown off . Thanks Tracey, it's not everyday I get to shoot a bride flying backwards- great shot, see below.
