<p><br />Published on <strong>Tuesday 21 February 2012 08:00</strong></p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Kate and John Priestley only decided to get married in September and with little time and money for the wedding, opted for a vintage 1940s theme.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The pair married at the Square Tower, Old Portsmouth, with a couple of close friends and family present before going on to their reception at the Still &amp; West Pub.</p>
<p>While most people provide a full dinner for their guests, the couple provided good old fashioned British fish and chips. And music was provided by The Three Belles.</p>
<p>Kate, 29, says: ‘Well, it’s February and we thought everyone would be cold. Plus everyone likes fish and chips don’t they.’</p>
<p>Kate, a solicitor, wore a Justin Alexander dress that had been beautifully modified by Creatiques in Southsea to give it that retro feel.</p>
<p>Talking about the day, she says: ‘I just absolutely love that era, and I just think the way women styled themselves was just so beautiful.</p>
<p>‘John is into retro stuff too and what’s great is everybody that went really made an effort. Some people properly dressed up for it.’</p>
<p>The couple live in Cosham and have been together for the past nine and a half years, after they met in a bar in Port Solent.</p>
<p>Kate adds: ‘It was a great day, and the dress I wore was the dress of my dreams.’</p>
<p>Although the pair didn’t go away on a honeymoon, they went on day trips together, including a day out to Brighton and a trip to Careys Manor in Brockenhurst.</p>

<h6 data-ft="{&quot;type&quot;:1}">Creatiques have saved the day!!! Kimberley was to have her hair put up for her wedding day by a local hair dresser and was upset when she left after her trial. It was a total disaster and the hairdresser made no attempt to put it right!! Andrew immediately offered to do her hair and she has just returned from the trial looking beautiful and happy and excited about her big day. Andrew and Rob have been fantastic, making her feel special and helping her in such a relaxed way. Creatiques is amazing and we would highly recommend any bride-to- be to visit the shop, you won&#8217;t want to go anywhere else! Looking forward to the big day!</h6>

<div>Andrew and Rob are simply amazing. As a bride you are made to feel special from the moment you walk in. Now the wedding is over I actually miss them!<br /><br />I had been to so many souless wedding dress shops before. At Creatiques I felt that I had 100% attention and focus everytime i went in to the shop. I wanted something a little different (1940s vintage inspired) and Andrew and Rob gave me the confidence to go with my heart (and make some pretty big alterations to a designer dress). I wasn&#8217;t just sold a dress, I was given a whole look from top to toe.<br /><br />Andrew did my hair and my bridesmaids/mums hair on the day and we had such a good day. It was fun from start to finish. Andrew and Rob already knew me and my dress and I was in such safe hands.<br /><br />I can honestly say that I got exactly what I wanted and looked better thatn I ever thought I could. Thank you boys xxx
