This month our Real Bride Spotlight is on Vicki’s Bride Gemma and this wedding struck a real cord as Gemma got married at Hannah’s wedding venue. Also, a place that is close to our hearts as a family. Fun Family fact; the Cobble exhibit at Kent Life is our Grandads shop and if you look closely you will see a photo of Hannah on her wedding day on the shelf at the back. But back to Gemma…


How did your partner propose?

We had arranged a camping trip with family, but Dan had arranged a little cottage in Petersfield for just us for a few days beforehand. He told me we were going for dinner and what time to be ready by. Before we left, he set a camera up and told me it was on a timer so we can both take a photo together with the view of mountains behind us. I didn't realise he actually pressed record, and he then got down on one knee.


What a sneaky squirrel! That video will be something you treasure forever.

When and Where did you get married?

6th April at Kent Life, Maidstone, Kent


Such a fab venue and so much fun. Honestly excitement when Hannah saw your venue.

What colour/ theme did you go for?

We went for navy blue and burnt Orange, and we went for a farm/Boho style wedding.


Perfect for Kent Life.

Tell us one bit of advice for couples planning a wedding?

If it feels right, do it! Also, it goes so fast, when I went into the room before we took our steps down the aisle I paused and took it all in for a minute.




Absolutely love that advice!

Now the fun bit, Shopping for your dress... Tell us about it?!

I knew what style dress I wanted, my mum found Vicki's in my favourite town of Tenterden. It was funny because as we drove past to head towards the car park, I looked at the dress in the window and I immediately knew that was the one for me.


Tell us your favourite highlight from your Big Day.

Very hard question. Seeing my stepdad's face when he saw me and my two girls was beautiful.  Also, when I walked in the room and seeing Dan was my best highlight for me. Dan would say the band and food, I reckon! Typical.





 Your favourite photo from your big day - professional or moment captured by a guest...


I think we can all agree that Gemma and Dan look like they had the most amazing day, and she looks stunning in Iris by Kelsey Rose. We are a big fan of the converse addition to her bridal look!! Gemma knew her style from the moment she arrived at Vicki's Bridal Boutique, and she owned it the whole way through the process. Your day, your bridal style!!
