Wedding dress: Marchesa c/o Bloomfeld

The perfect dress, from an atrocious supplier: I had naively expected a better quality of customer service and integrity at sticking to agreed terms given the exclusivity of their offerings and brands (sorely mistaken!)

Groom's suit: van Zuilen

A beautifully crafted suit with personal details such as Union Jack flag buttons and custom embroidered collar and inside pocket.

Rings: Number Ten

Personal advice and super fast service from the team at Number Ten jewellers, situated in the beautiful Brighton Lanes (England).

Ordered online at great discounted price (last one on stock). Was delivered fast and quality was excellent.

Excellent high quality silk linen blend ties from Charvet in a bright, almost neon tangerine colour. Ordered at Mr Porter in personalised packaging.

We couldn't have been happier with our choice of wedding photographer: Robert Land was relaxed, fun, cheerful and delivered fantastic creative, romantic results.

Remi and Pui-Yuk of Maru Films were chosen as our wedding videographers based on the quality and authentic-style portfolio.

Gwendy of Magic Flower delivered wonderful fresh flowers and extra decorating services at great value.

Stationery & Signs: Lovett Designs / Ministerie van Beeld / Van As

Original save-the-date and invitation design was done by Ministerie van Beeld. All remaining stationery (menus, name signs, framed signs, welcome flyers, etc) was carried out by Lovett Designs and printed at Van As.

Ceremony documents: Certificaat op Maat

Beautiful leather document holder for the signing part of our wedding ceremony. Document itself was made by Lovett Designs.

Personalised, engraved wooden pens made from old whiskey barrels were ordered from Peninsula Pens via notonthehighstreet.co.uk.

Reception band: 48 Special

Lively, playful, foot-tapping, interactive, fun music trio that we'd be happy to welcome back to any future events we might be organising!

Almond cake with chocolate & strawberry filling by Sugarlips (Utrecht, the Netherlands).

Guest book: Atlas & I c/o NOTHS

Leather-bound, custom printed, vintage map guest book from Atlas & I featured the home towns of the bride and groom on the cover: Schelluinen (the Netherlands) and Cuckfield (England).

Dinner favors: Olala Chocola

Beautifully packaged, high quality, personalised Belgian chocolates from our favorite local supplier were our chosen favors at the wedding meal.

Wine tasting: Fromberg

The excellent wines of Fromberg are a testament to the region, and our international guests were treated to a local wine tasting the afternoon before the wedding.

Gin bar: Loopuyt

Gin cocktails were insanely popular, especially with the delicious gin and own-label tonic from Loopuyt Schiedam.

Marquee: McAir

A hard walled wedding marquee housed our gin bar and lounge area, away from the noisy, boistrous dancefloor.
