Patricia and Sean first met online, where they never expected to meet their lifelong partners. After messaging back and forth, the pair set off for their first date at Miller and Carter. Patricia says, "We had a nice meal while talking and getting to know each other more. We hit it off straight away and sealed the night with a romantic kiss."
Sean was captured by everything about Patricia and he loved how good she was with his son, which made him fall in love even more. He proposed on 28th November 2019 at the Palace of Culture and Science in Poland, which was three days after Patricia's 29th birthday and she was so surprised! They were enjoying the stunning views when he pulled out the ring, got down on one knee and asked her to marry him – the rest is history!
To match the white and sage green colour scheme, the bride opted for a loose and natural-styled bouquet with a mix of roses and foliage, including eucalyptus and a touch of gypsophila. A satin ribbon was tied around the stems, and the bride added a charm saying 'with you every step' with a photo of her late grandma. Other floral touches included a huge flower arch, a beautiful flower display on the top table and small flowergirl bouquets consisting of gypsophila.
The table plan helped guests find their seats and featured a beautiful flower arrangement on top. The simple white place names each featured some greenery in the corner and showed each person where to sit. There were tall-metal stands in the middle of each table, which not only looked beautiful but allowed guests to see each other easily. On top of the stands were loose floral displays with stunning hydrangeas, which made a huge statement.
When it came to deciding on the perfect cake, the couple decided on a three-tiered bake with vanilla, lemon and coconut flavours. Fresh flowers that matched the colour scheme was added on top.
Patricia wore a stunning dress from Sì. Bridal & Co in Newcastle by designer Riki Dalal. It featured a sheath train, plunging V-neckline, an open back, spaghetti straps and subtle beading embellishments along the top. The elegant silhouette looked beautiful, and Patricia stole the show walking down the aisle. She also made several strangers stop and compliment her and even brought some to tears.
With the gown being so showstopping and sparkly, Patricia decided to accessorise her look with a long and simple white veil, sparkly high heels by Badgley Mischka and simple pearl earrings – the perfect finishing touches to a timeless and classic look. The bride-to-be says, "The whole morning was filled with nerves, but I knew I looked the way I envisioned myself and was so happy with every single thing."
Sean wore a black, slim fit Moss Bros. suit with a white shirt, a black satin bow and Ted Baker shoes. The groom had one best man, Michael and his 11-year-old son Ethan was the ring bearer – both wore black suits with a black ties and shoes.
Patricia's best friend Sandra was her maid-of-honour, and she wore a muted earthy-toned dress by Victoria Lou Bridal in the colour fossil. She accessorised her look with gold jewellery and sparkly high heels.
A funny moment from the day was the bouquet throw. Patricia comments. “All the single ladies had lined up only for our friend Sharon to run through the door out of nowhere to catch the bouquet at the last second and then ran away with it! Our videographer said this moment deserved its own video, it made everyone laugh hysterically and we definitely won’t forget it.”
One moment that stood out to Sean was watching a short video message from Patricia’s dad, who unfortunately couldn’t make the wedding from the United States due to Covid-19 restrictions. He also loved having his friends and family together after a long time apart during the pandemic.
Patricia loved having their photos taken on the intimate rooftop, especially the shots of the pair under her veil, as well as the stunning golden hour pictures on the beach, which allowed the two some quiet and alone time.
