“We met in a bar in Cardiff (Wales) on a night out… Both of us lived in London but Victoria had gone back for a girls night out and Thomas was playing rugby there.”

“Thomas proposed on my 29th birthday on a surprise weekend to Monte Carlo on a Sunny Sunday morning…”

“I bought the first dress that I tried on. I am a fashion buyer so had a really clear view of what I wanted and came up with a favorite two Israeli designers. Browns London was holding a trunk show for Galia Lahav and the designer Sharon was attending. I made an appointment, took my mom and sister, took four dresses into the fitting room and knew the minute I stepped into the first dress that it was the one. It helped that I was the sample size so the dress fitted me perfectly. The only thing I wanted to change was the back, so I worked with Sharon in combining two of the four dresses. It’s the most perfect dress, nude lining, a white silk lace as the main body with delicate embellishment that caught the light in the Caldera. It’s the ultimate dream of a dress.”

“We chose Santorini to have our destination wedding in Greece because those Caldera views are some of the most incredible natural wonders of the world… And Thomas is half-Greek!”

“We wanted something that wasn’t too “forced” or overdone, yet stylish and chic. That was the hard part in striking an even balance.”

“My wedding bouquet was a cascade of white orchids.”

We asked the bride to share with us the best moment from the wedding: “Too many to mention! …but the moment when we saw each other for the first time, at the end of the aisle was pretty special.”

“We found inspiration and ideas for our wedding from Pinterest, wedding blogs and fashion editorials.”

The bride’s advice: “Take your time. Try not to get swept up in all of the details and other people’s opinions. Write a list of the important things you absolutely want for your wedding when you first start planning. With 6 months to go re-look at the list to ensure you have covered your initial thoughts & ideas of the things that matter…”
