So after a decade together and a perfect surprise proposal myself and Carl planned our perfect 'once upon a time' wedding in the magical Lake Como on Saturday 30th April 2016. After being together for such a long time we wanted our wedding ceremony to be romantic and intimate and decided that we would elope with just my youngest sister (bridesmaid) and Carl's best friend (best man) and it was the most perfect, magical, fairytale day and it was amazing knowing that it was all going to continue when we came home to our ring blessing and reception with all of our closet friends and family on Friday 6th May 2016.

Here are some of the details from Hannah's Special Day: The designer and style of the dress-

My dress was a fishtail style by Sorreto & Midlgely called Stella 

Who did the flowers-

My friend made my bouquet with artificial flowers so I could take them with me to Lake Como, use again here and have them as a keepsake, floristry is her hobby and she calls her little business Flori & Flora by Helen Cavendish

Hotel/Venue of the wedding

Our ceremony was held underneath characteristic stone arches below the church tower at Ossuccio town hall in Lake Como and our reception was at Villa lenoi where we also stayed which was stunning

Designer of the bridesmaid dress:

My bridesmaid was my youngest sister Rosie, her dress was bespoke made by Lorna Chilton
