On February 6, Brittany Allyn donned a white Millia London bridal dress as she walked down the staircase at Hinwick House, a mansion in the English countryside, to the sounds of Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D. On her wrist, she wore her “something borrowed,” a vintage silver diamond watch, and her hair hung in elegant, loose waves. Her 35 guests, which included family members and childhood friends, had travelled far and wide to celebrate with her.
The occasion? Allyn’s 40th birthday.
