I was so excited all morning and although time was flying by I couldn’t wait to meet my future husband at the altar. Elliott was very nervous to say the least, but he was excited too! He cried multiple times throughout the day, especially when he first saw me walk down the aisle. The centrepieces were log slices, which worked for our rustic theme. They were topped with silver vases containing lilac floral arrangements with a lilac runner bunched underneath, all complementing our palette. I presented Elliott with a gift of a framed letter from Arsenal Football Club, which made him cry... again! We chose to give each guest a scratch card and a shot in little glass bottles with a cork stopper. The flavours were apple and cherry Sourz, as I love them and Elliott’s partial to a scratch card every now and then! Each place name was decorated with lilac flowers in the corner, and a sticker on the back to remind guests of their food choice. Our cake had two tiers with ombre lilac icing, topped with an arrangement of lilac blooms. The bottom tier was chocolate Guinness with cherry jam and the top was lemon drizzle. We also had four cupcakes for my mum as she has a wheat allergy. REAL WEDDINGS 41
