Finding "the one" is a feeling unlike any other, whether it’s your partner or your wedding dress. For Amber, her journey to marrying Craig was defined by intimate moments, surprises, and a dress that made her feel like the ultimate bride.

Today, we are sharing the beautiful details of Amber and Craig’s wedding day, featuring the stunning Luna Novias Stelline dress from Annabel Sarah Bridal.

A Surprise Proposal in Cardiff

Every great love story has its "how they asked" moment, and Craig’s proposal to Amber was a masterclass in stealth! While the couple was away in Cardiff for a concert, Craig popped the question in their hotel.

"It was a total surprise, I had no idea! He even used my twin sister to work out my ring size without me suspecting a thing."

Finding the Luna Novias Stelline Dress

Amber’s search for the perfect gown was short but sweet. After visiting just two boutiques, she found herself back at Annabel Sarah Bridal.

The dress she couldn't stop thinking about? The Stelline by Luna Novias. This gown is the definition of sophisticated bridal style, featuring a silhouette that balances modern tailoring with classic grace.

Why it was "The One"

Choosing a wedding dress can be overwhelming, but Amber’s sister gave her the best piece of advice: "If any of the dresses you’ve tried suddenly became unavailable, is there one you’d be gutted about?"

For Amber, that was the Stelline.

• The Vibe: Timeless and elegant.

• The Feeling: "I felt like a bride in it. The material felt very special; I know I’ll never wear something that makes me feel that way again."

An Intimate Celebration at Hotel du Vin, Avon Gorge

Amber and Craig chose the iconic Hotel du Vin Bristol (Avon Gorge) for their nuptials. Nestled in the heart of Clifton, the venue provided a warm, intimate atmosphere complemented by the breathtaking backdrop of the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Styling the Vision

To bring her "intimate and warm" vision to life, Amber collaborated with a talented team of professionals. By working with a dedicated venue stylist and a professional makeup artist, every detail—from the table settings to her bridal glow—was curated to perfection.

Advice for Future Brides

Reflecting on her big day, Amber shares some heartfelt wisdom for those currently planning their own walk down the aisle:

"I know it’s a cliché, but just try and soak it all up because it’s a blur! The little things you stress about for months, you don’t even think about on the day. Take a deep breath, smile, and go and meet your husband!"
