My flowers were white roses, with my bridesmaids having the same. The buttonholes and mothers’ corsages too contained the same blooms. For our favours we had custom-made Christmas crackers filled with a Molton Brown shower gel, Yankee Candle Snow In Love, Ferrero Rocher and a Bailey’s miniature. The table names were based on a happily ever after fairy tale, so Chapter One, Chapter Two and so on. The signs were handmade books to match the rest of our stationery. Our centrepieces were cream blossom trees. Each table was covered with a mirror before being set to really give it the wow factor. Every cabinet in the room was filled with white roses and candles creating the perfect setting. During the ceremony and drinks reception Craig Owen played a variety of old and new songs on the violin and piano. Our cake was classic, simple and featured our favourite flavours – lemon drizzle, Lotus Biscoff, Nutella and Ferrero Rocher. We wanted it to represent us, so we went away from traditional flavours and chose something we love. We cut it with a sword during the evening. The bridesmaids were all dressed in black dresses from Jarlo London, which were simple and elegant with a small train. 35 REAL WEDDINGS
