I was on the hunt for a black dress for my wedding and couldn't find any I liked, as a seamstress I decided to make it myself. This led me to start my own wedding dress business called Hannah Black Bridal, specialising in black wedding dresses. I had actually made 2 entirely different dresses for the day however after delaying for over a year, I fell out of love with them and 3 weeks before the wedding I made this dress. My wonderful mum sat and stuck on 3000 rhinestones with me. Based on my own experience I would definitely recommend that brides don't jump in too early in purchasing their dresses. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/706521439/pretty-and--punk-weddings-0054-bridalwear-advice-black-wedding-dresshampshire-wedding-inspiration-nottinghamwedding-inspiration.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We chose Hayne House because of how stunning the venue was online, after visiting on an open day we absolutely fell in love. The grounds are beautiful, the venue is stunning and the staff were wonderful. It is also very secluded so you have the entire grounds to yourself with no worries of any strangers strolling past. We were initially worried about the distance from home and whether people would travel however we had no drop outs due to the distance. We would definitely recommend picking whichever venue you love and not worrying about distance. We took the stance that if people loved us enough, they would come, and they did. We had people travel from our hometown, 2 hours away, as far as New York. We even had family and friends willing to travel from Africa however due to covid they were unable to attend. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><img src="../blogimages/706521439/pretty-and--punk-weddings-0026-bridalwear-advice-black-wedding-dresshampshire-wedding-inspiration-nottinghamwedding-inspiration.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We wanted to do as much of the wedding ourselves to make it as personal as possible, </span>it was the most magical day and we couldn't have asked for it to be any better. This wedding date as our third after delaying 2 times due to Covid.<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> We also wanted it to be different to what anyone had seen before. We have an eclectic and more quirky taste, so sourcing decor just wasn't working for us. My mum and I created all the decor. We wanted it to be pretty but edgy, hence the contrast of pink roses, white hydrangeas mixed with black eucalyptus and thistles. We sourced quirky pieces from Home sense and TkMax, like the ornate bird cages. I'd definitely recommend taking some risks, if you want it, do it! Don't worry about other people. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/706521439/pretty-and--punk-weddings-0069-bridalwear-advice-black-wedding-dresshampshire-wedding-inspiration-nottinghamwedding-inspiration.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We absolutely loved how the day turned out. The venue looked amazing and was the exact look wanted. We had so many compliments on the day. The day had no hiccups, even a bit of rain didn't dampen our day. It was absolute perfection. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If we were to go again, I think iId go even and bigger and bolder with the decor, more is more!!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/706521439/pretty-and--punk-weddings-0006-bridalwear-advice-black-wedding-dresshampshire-wedding-inspiration-nottinghamwedding-inspiration.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></p><p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">One of best decisions was definitely having a sweetheart table. Everyone who gave us tips for the day said to take a minute for the two of us every now and then to take in the day, and while the thought of that is great, there was so much energy that in reality it just didn't happen. The sweetheart table gave us an hour together to take everything in and have some us time.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img
