Leah Worrall, 33, is an investment consultant. Rory Botros, 34, is a solicitor. The couple met at a friend’s wedding, Leah’s friend made Rory text her as she was convinced they would be great together. They tied the knot in a romantic wedding in the south of France.
The best part of our day was….
We loved every minute, but my favourite was Rory’s speech. It was the best speech I’ve ever heard.
We choose to get married at…
Our friends and family joined us in the south of France. The wedding day was fleeting, so we loved having the whole weekend to celebrate.
I knew I found ‘The One’ when…
I gravitate towards satin bias cut dresses and found a discontinued sample dress at The Mews. It badly needed a dry clean and some alterations.
The most enjoyable moments of planning were…
We had a wedding planner in France, who is also a close family friend. She kindly took care of all the logistics and details for us.
The hardest part of planning was…
We relied on our parents to make a lot of the decisions, as they were already in situ in the south of France. Luckily they have excellent taste.
The best accounts to follow on Instagram for big-day inspo are…
Kamperett and The Fall Bride for wedding dresses, or Alighieri for wedding jewellery.
The best person to follow on Pinterest for bridal inspo is…
Not sure, I just created mood boards, from marquee decor to floral arrangements.
My top three tips for any couple would be…
Have your friends and family around you in the few days leading up to the wedding, ask someone else to take care of the details, and drop everything on the big day.
If I was able to do it all over again, the one thing I would change is…
Luckily, nothing
