Hayley & Ryan’s Wedding Day

25th July 2025 | Weston Hall, Bulkington

Some love stories take their time — growing quietly, enduring life’s challenges, and blooming fully when the moment feels right. Hayley and Ryan’s journey is exactly that kind of story.

Hayley and Ryan first knew each other years ago, back when they were just kids, spending time out with mutual friends. It’s hard for Hayley to remember exactly when things changed — it was around eight years ago — but what she does know is that even then, she could picture marriage somewhere in the future. Ryan had even proposed years earlier, but life had other plans at the time.

Two years ago, after the heartbreaking loss of Hayley’s mum, everything came into sharper focus. The couple realised how important it was to celebrate love while surrounded by the people who mean the most. They didn’t want to wait any longer — they wanted their family, their children, and their loved ones to be there to witness this moment. And so, 25th July 2025 became their forever day.

The Dress Journey

Finding the dress was an adventure in itself. With visits to two bridal shops and a lot of dresses tried on (and yes — a lot of laughs along the way!), Hayley never imagined the one would be waiting right at the end.

At The Bridal Gallery, it was the very last dress in the shop — and the final one suggested by Bridal Consultant, Carolyn, who was helping her that day. “Let me just go and get a dress,” she said. And that was it. Hayley tried it on and instantly fell in love. It wasn’t the lace-style gown she originally thought she’d choose, but it felt perfect.

Carolyn made the whole experience unforgettable — calm, comforting, and genuinely supportive. She made Hayley feel at ease, confident, and truly special. From that moment on, every visit to The Bridal Gallery felt exciting, and Hayley always left knowing she’d found a dress that was made just for her.

“Thank you to The Bridal Gallery, Sarah & Carolyn for a lovely experience every time I came in. I was always so happy and always left feeling like the dress I picked was made for me.”

The Wedding Day

Set at the beautiful Weston Hall in Bulkington, the day was effortlessly elegant. There was no strict theme — just a timeless colour palette of white and forest green, creating a natural, romantic feel throughout.

The bridesmaids wore forest green, while Hayley’s daughters were dressed in white, a beautiful and meaningful touch that kept family at the heart of the day.

Their first dance was to “You Are the Reason” by Callum Scott and Leona Lewis, a song that perfectly captured their journey — emotional, sincere, and full of love.

A Perfect Ending

While the day itself was filled with joy, laughter, and celebration, Hayley says her favourite moment came at the very end of the night. After the noise faded and the guests had gone, she spent a quiet hour with her new husband in their hotel room — just their little family, with their 14-month-old daughter happily running around at 2am.

No music. No crowds. Just love, family, and happiness.

A Familymoon to Remember

Instead of a traditional honeymoon, Hayley and Ryan chose something that suited them perfectly — a familymoon to Great Yarmouth, shared with their four children and Hayley’s dad. It was relaxed, meaningful, and exactly what they wanted: time together as a newly married family.

Hayley and Ryan’s wedding wasn’t just about one beautiful day — it was about timing, resilience, family, and choosing love again and again. A reminder that the most meaningful weddings are the ones that truly reflect the couple at the heart of them.

Congratulations, Mr & Mrs Kimberley!🤍💚
