We hoped to bring some extra joy to our wedding guests so we tucked scratch cards inside tiny envelopes and sealed them with personalised stickers. Our cake was a simple, two-tier bake. The bottom layer was chocolate and the top was white chocolate and raspberry topped with buttercream. It was dressed with fresh flowers and the topper was a wire sign, which read: “Finally.” Our centrepieces were terrariums with a large, grey, marble-effect candle inside and tea lights surrounding the outside. Fresh eucalyptus was draped around them. The place names were a simple design in dusky pink with names handwritten in gold. We opted for drinks and canapés on arrival, afternoon tea for our wedding breakfast and a hog roast in the evening. We wanted to keep the feel of the day casual, light and fun, so we decided against a three-course meal. For the venue flowers and bouquets created by Floweringi in Chard we chose dusky pink, mauve and cream blooms with greenery. Our church arrangements included the same colours and were provided by Elaine Dugdale, a local florist in East Coker who knew the church well and how to dress it. 35 REAL WEDDINGS
