M & G Wedding

October 9, 2026

Diana and Sean brought their version of retro Vegas to Preston Court in Kent, mixing casino references and motel room keys with an English country setting. Their supplier brief was “Las Vegas, quirky, Sure Thing Chapel and retro.” Having attended plenty of weddings in their 30s, they knew the familiar sequence of events and wanted to give their guests plenty to get involved in. There would be dancing, candyfloss, a carousel and glamping tents to stumble back to afterwards. “We kept the traditions that meant something to us and felt very relaxed about the rest,” they said. “Our main question throughout planning was always, “Will this make the day more fun or more us?””

Alissa and Wesley’s wedding planning began when the bride starting looking for her dress. She wanted something witchy, romantic and inspired by nature, steering clear of anything too Halloween-y. Her answer was a sheer black gown, made to order by NRT Fashions and covered in hand-applied beading. The dress then set the direction for the entire day. Its botanical detailing fed into the use of trailing vines, overgrown flowers, old books and flickering candlelight.
